The Couponizer


If you have spent much time with me in the last 4 months, you have probably gotten an earful about all that I am saving using coupons. My sister-in-law, Jenny, first convinced me to try it and then I went way overboard, turning it into a game. My competitive nature came out even stronger than normal and I started reading blogs and websites to learn more. One of my favorite blogs is MoneySavingMom. Crystal Paine is a champion couponer and all around financial guru. 
Every now and then, Crystal will post a giveaway for a featured product or book. This week it was The Couponizer and I WON! Right now I use envelopes that are already falling apart. Basically, this going revolutionize my shopping experience. This also confirms that I am truly a soccer mom, just without the mini-van.
I don't plan to make our blog about my couponing, but I thought I would share the good news.

you need to check out www.grocerygame.com. It's a dollar for the first 4 weeks just to try it out. You'll get addicted. It's saved me about $200 a month and it makes sure that I use my coupons!

Have you found any place that offers coupons for Silk soy milk and all of the other fun soy and rice products? Our little one has been diagnosed with serious allergies to all dairy, wheat, and egg, and the groceries are NOT cheap.

Wow! Congratulations! I have tried couponing (is that even a word?) but I'm no good at it. I end up forgeting to bring them or bringing a huge stack and spilling them all over the aisles of the grocery....maybe one day...it's a good thing to shoot for!

Where are you getting these said coupons?? I would love to learn but I'll be honest in saying that the whole thing kind of confuses me...not the whole concept of using a coupon(I got that) but the whole double..triple..10 free! coupon expierence...help a sister out.
