My New Hobby...

Spending money. Well, that's how it feels right now. I'm trying to clip coupons and shop the deals. If you want to check out my journey to a savings account blog go to:diarypennypincher.blogspot.com. You may find helpful hints or you may decide I am not saving more, but spending more. I'm still trying to decide which one it really is:)

So. . .I used to be a couponer when we lived in Utah. Hard core:). Anyhoo, after moving to California couponing became a lot harder--the cool websites don't really publish Northern California coupons or many of the grocery store deals so I had figure out the deals by myself and it sucked. And I had another kid. I was bummed until I really looked at the kind of food I had been eating while couponing. Most of it wasn't nutritious--sugary cereals, Totino's pizza rolls:), and all kinds of high-calorie processed foods--gogurts, pringles, etc. I admit I got awesome deals on the stuff (free or close to it) but it really wasn't very healthy for my family. So, now I spend way more money on whole grain, unprocessed, fresh foods and hope that in the long run we'll "spend" less healthwise. I'm not dogging couponers at all--I'm just making different choices now. I'll always love a good deal:) And I look forward to learning about the good deals you find.
