Couponing Chronicles

I wanted to share some couponing tips with everyone because I know how expensive it can be to buy grocery for a family or a single person. I started couponing maybe 3 years ago I wanted to be able to provide my family with everything they needed and not pay a lot. I have gotten really comfortable with finding the deals and matching my coupons with the deals to get the rock bottom prices. The key to couponing is finding the deals and then matching the deals with the coupons and not buying items that you don't have a coupon for and that is not on sale.

I also wanted to share some really cool apps that pay you to shop you're going to buy grocery anyways! Why not get some of that money back in your pocket?
