As a couponing family (yes family, not just mom!) we are always working to get a great deal. I have to say that this adventure could not be done with out my wonderful husband. He is always on the look out for a deal, a coupon or free item. Take the Jif to-go box. One day in the mail there was this coupon for a free box of take along peanut butter. Steve had seen the deal on a blog, friended Jif on Facebook and got us a great coupon. I took the coupon to Wal-Mart and there you go, free peanut butter. On almost a daily bases he prints me a number of coupons and tells me of the deal of the day. He calls me on Tuesday morning when I am at Wal-Mart doing the double coupon thing to see how it is going. There has been so much said about couponing since that coupon show (if you ask I will tell you how I feel about that show, but that is a later post), we are not an extreme coupon family. We love to get things for free, but there is no need to get 115 bottle of mustard! I get items we will use, in a timely manner. I get things we will need or already use. I have cut our grocery budget in half. So, for the Snyder family couponing does work. And it is work, but it only has to be as much as you want it to be. You can't live your day as if this is the last sale! Or this is the last coupon! Cereal will be on sale again, probably in the next 3 months. And the coupon that just expired, well, most likely there will be the exact same one in Sunday's paper.

Oh no! A coupon lady!
