2013 Coupon Journey: Week of 9/8

This week I made the mistake of waiting until the end of the week to do my couponing.  I ended up with more rainchecks than product again.  I can't complain about the amount I spent though!! I was very pleased with it!  I went to Rite Aid & CVS!!

Couponing Tip: Keep track of your couponing!!  For myself, I have my public coupon journey!  You don't need to be so extreme.  After you feel like you have mastered the beginning steps of couponing, keep track!  Personally, I have a notebook and each week I write how much I spent, saved, spent on newspapes, monthly total, and year to date total.  I made myself a goal of $20 a week for the drugstores/supercenter spending. It will amaze you how much $20 really is for a year and how much you actually spent/saved!!  It's a great personal lesson in life and I am hoping on day to expand to the grocery part also!
