My Adventures In Couponing

I have to figure out exactly how I’m going to do it, but I want to keep a running tally of my spendings/savings for the year. I think I will keep things separated in categories like grocery, pet food, household department store and drug store purchases. I’ve decided for this year I won’t keep up with dining out (since we do it so rarely and I almost never have coupons since there’s not a huge selection of restaurants here). I also won’t keep up with gift items or specialty items that we need to purchase (i.e. for our car or house).

Here’s some more deals I picked up this week:
