In response to Vicki’s post above……I have quit buying trash bags. I use reusable shopping bags everywhere except Walmart, because they act like they don’t know how to use them. So I use my Walmart bags for my trash. Yes, we do have to take out the trash everyday. But my trash man just requires my trash to be bagged-he didn’t say how! Now the trash is more manageable for my teenager to carry it to the can outside, & I don’t have trash stinking up my house waiting for the bag to get full (because if it’s not full, I’m not wasting a trash bag!)

I consider myself still rather new to couponing. I started paying attention to them last july and august was my first use of a few coupons. I consider myself as a fair coupon user. I did not realize how much i do rely on coupons until i needed trash bags and a couple other items i have only bought with coupons lately. When i saw what the price was without a sale or a coupon i was shocked. I told my son [i am trying to teach him a little about the saving you can get with coupons] that i am not about to pay that high full price. I would wait. The next week they came on sale. and i saved about $3 per box.. Did not have a coupon that time but i had to buy them. By trying to show someone else what the savings can be and having a few items stocked up [household/personal] has shown me that i save more than i realized

I pay more attention since I have using coupons than ever before, even saving a little is better than not sving at all. Love your site thanks for all you do to help us out!
