Rules/reasons I'm couponing.

 We have a target, Wal-mart, Safeway, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Walgreen's, and 3 locally owned stores I shop at. So here we go. If you want some good tips I use afullcup.com (AFC), and thekrazycouponlady.com (KCL)  Our new paper doesn't carry the inserts for the coupons. So I buy them from people off of afullcup.com (AFC). I allow myself 60.00 a month to buy my coupons. My family of 5 has been spending about 1000.00 a month on groceries and other items we need so I'm going to try and get that down by 1/3 in 6 months. My rules are 1. only spend 60.00 or less on coupons 2. watch sales 3. if the store brand is something we will use buy that if it's cheaper than the national brand and coupon. 4. not allowed to stock pile more than 10 items if it's something we don't use a lot of. 5. if it's cheaper homemade then make it don't buy it. 6. Shop by myself (We will see how this goes)  Wish me luck.
