Coupons?

Well, the women of Grace Bible Church have opened up a whole new world to me. Especially in light of considering grad school, I wanted to learn as much as possible about stewardship, frugality, and how to be able to serve Andrew by keeping our budget as small as possible. Enter coupons, coupon web sites, coupon blogs, weekly ads, and budget planning tools. Slightly overwhelming for someone completely unfamiliar with the whole business. Luckily, there are many wise, sweet women who have gone before, learned the best strategy, and have lovingly made their resources known and available. So, to the benefit of anyone who, like me, desires to learn how to trim a budget, here are the web pages I have found most useful thus far:

www.moneysavingmom.com

This blog gives weekly summaries of deals at CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aide, and Target. Also posts freebies, tips on budget, cooking, and thrifty ideas. This lady has a sweet heart.

www.hiptosave.com

This one has similar information, with more frequent posts on freebies. She may also be posting grocery deals in the near future.

It has taken a considerable amount of time for me to start in on this business, but one I get the hang of it I'm excited to see how I can trim our budget. All for the goal of living simply to be able to use what the Lord has given for His glory.

Thanks to the ladies of Grace Bible who already know these things are are so willing to teach!
