Couponing

Auntie Mae has always been generous with her coupons — and I’ve always appreciated it. After we moved, most of our things went into storage, including my coupon box (a handmade original from my mother — I’ll post photos once I dig it out after the Spring Thaw). In the meantime, I searched online for other ways to keep up with deals.

One tool I found and liked was the Krazy Coupon Lady’s Coupon Tracking spreadsheet. After downloading it, I saved a blank copy and created a version called 2008Coupons to test out. You simply plug in your coupon info, and it helps keep everything organized.

To find deals nearby, I’ve also used the CouponMom website, though for my area it only shows matchups for Kroger and Meijer. Instead of keeping full coupon inserts, I prefer to cut and file coupons into categories in my coupon box. Pairing that method with online deal matchups and the spreadsheet helps maintain control over grocery spending — even with limited tools.
