Justin's Couponing...

This is Justin!!!

When we went on our family camp out, Janeen told us how she had been clipping coupons. Amy had already said how good she was doing using coupons, so we figured we would give it a shot. When we got home, Jamie got an email from Janeen that told what she was doing that week with coupons so we could get an idea. Jamie said she was over whelmed by everything involved in getting the "good" deals with coupons, so deferred the job to me.

I decided to start clipping those coupons, but wanted to go easy at first. I must admit, it does take a little time, but I was amazed how much you could save or get for free with just a little time and effort. I am not trying to go crazy, just getting stuff we need with a few stock piles of things here and there because they are free.
