Why did I do this?

So, if anyone is reading this, I decided to keep track of the savings I find in my area.  I get all my tips from different savings websites.  I always thought clipping coupons was a waste of time and money.  Then, I started to see our gas and grocery bills rise and rise and rise.  I've found some ways to get items for free using circular coupons, store coupons and ecoupons thanks to a little bit of of on-line research.  The first tip I should give you is to understand that it's not as easy as hopping in the car with a pile of coupons and heading to your favorite store.  It begins with some research and making a plan. Don't worry...it's easier than it sounds.    I hope some of my tips are helpful to you.  Remember, I'm a rookie.  Happy shopping!
