Coupons

I never really liked coupons.  I found the work really tedious without much reward, until lately. Maybe I'm just getting cheaper in my "old age."  Technology has made getting coupons so much easier.  The ability to add coupons to a loyalty card is awesome.  A few clicks equals a few dollars in savings.  It really can't get much easier.  Not having to clip coupons is a huge plus in my book.

Last weekend, I took Xavier to get a new winter coat since it is actually getting cold now.  We hit up J.C. Penny since it was having a sale.  The original tag cost for it was $70.  We ended up getting the coat he loved for under $17.  It isn't a wimpy coat either.  It is nice and thick, has a good collar, and a hood.  That was a little thrilling, I can't lie!  Since we saved money on the coat, he was able to get a pair of shoes he really like that aren't basic tennis shoes.  Yes, even boys need to add a little pizazz to their wardrobe.  I even got an extra coupon for the next shopping visit to J.C. Penny.

The best part of finding coupons is being able to save on more organics, whole grains, and natural items at the grocery store.  The ability to feed my family the very best I can and saving money on top of it is a huge added benefit.
