Slightly Addictive (but in a good way!)

So I started couponing about 6 months ago.  I only coupon for non food items because we live with my folks and put money towards the food every month and my mom does most of the grocery shopping (she is a couponing pro, seriously! and yes I do love not having to go grocery shopping very often!)  A couple of weeks ago I got the idea that I wanted to take a picture of everything I have gotten for free (only paid tax on)over the last six months. 
I mean look at all that stuff!
And this is all stuff in my stockpile, not even counting all of the stuff we have already used! I also didn't get the 5 snuggle fabric softeners and Baby Alive baby doll pictured.
If you have any questions about couponing visit the right side of my blog! lol I will get off my soapbox now, but first I just want to say that this post is not meant to boast, couponing has blessed my life so much in the last few months that I wanted to share it and maybe show some skeptics out there that it does work! And, it was hard at first and no I don't feel the need to get every deal there is every week. In fact during this semester I have missed many deals because I didn't have the time.  But if I can spend time every week saving money instead of having to get a job to help out, I would much rather do something that I think is fun.  Warning: it IS slightly addictive!

Great Job!!! We love to coupon clip too! Josh is amazing at it. We save more than half of our grocery bill each week. I don't know why everyone doesn't clip coupons....it is a LOT of work but sooooo worth it! Glad you are enjoying it!

Just got into coupon clipping and I love it, it saves so much money. I love the deals on diapers and just everything. Congratulations with Chad's job and your scholarship and also putting a bid on your house.
