New Blogger

Ok, so I am a new blogger and just recently started to get into all this coupon clippin, "CVS 'ing" and money saving! Being recently married and starting a new life with my husband, we want to start things off right. With tons of school loans, credit card payments and just plain living expenses, we need to be on a budget. Combining coupons with in store specials you can get things for barely nothing! This last month we have been sticking to our budget and learning how much stuff we were buying before at full price, and how much we COULD OF been saving. We have dramatically decreased out food budget. I have saved over $200 at cvs, $250 at Winn dixie and who knows how much at publix within the last two months! This is awesome!!!!! So the purpose of this blog is to help everyone else discover what I have, live simpler lives, get out of debt, and really start living!
