2009 Coupon challenge--plan now!
| Wed, 12-10-2008 - 9:32am |
I posted this idea before buried in a post but starting 1-1-2009, how about a coupon challenge to save money for holiday 2009.
That's a great idea--if I used more coupons, lol! With shopping at Aldi's and using store brands of most everything, I do not use very many coupons. Our gift-giving would be pretty slim if I only relied on that. I have to budget a monthly amount for all of our gift-giving including holidays, birthdays, graduations, weddings, whatever.
But the extra set back from whatever coupons I do use would probably come in handy. Not sure how comfortable I'd be asking the cashier for the $$ back though. So I'll probably just set the amounts aside--that will give me twice the savings!

I'm trying to do something kind of similar....but with the entire grocery budget not just coupons
any amount under my budgeted grocery amount will go in savings
