 I am! Sure, I understand couponing and use it to my advantage when it works for me, but I definitely haven’t been maximizing my savings and stockpiles.
Carrie at Grocery University recently offered me a copy of her couponing audio course and it’s AMAZING! I have the pleasure of knowing Carrie in real life and know [...]  If you’re a frugal gal like myself, you know how incredibly expensive disposable razor cartridges can be.

Last week I shared with you my goal of only spending $100 on groceries/toiletries/paper goods, etc. for the month of January. As of today, I have $65.95 left in my budget for the month. I have [...]  I really think this pantry challenge couldn’t have come at a better time (and I probably wouldn’t have thought to do it if someone hadn’t thought it up for me!).
