I thought I would post what a typical weekend of couponing trips looks like for us. We stopped at a few more stores than usual this weekend whereas we usually only shop Rite Aid and maybe two grocery stores. We snatch up the best deals and get out. That's our strategy and it's worked so far! =)
I did Rite Aid And Shop Rite this morning (up before 5 with the baby. So early.) And the other transactions yesterday. It's work to save money but totally stinkin' worth it!
