[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 442984, member: 7083"] I suck at it, too, so don't feel bad. I've been noticing more....uhmmm...cognitive changes of late and I think that's playing a big part. I mean, really stupid things...you know what I mean. So, since I suck at it - instead of trying to do anything even resembling what is on that show (which I haven't watched - just viewed a couple of video clips on TLC's website), I only print/cut out coupons for items I am going to use - and relatively soon. I compare the sales ads for 2 stores - side by side - and make a list. I don't buy large bulks of items (if I buy 3 of something, that's a lot). I just shop pretty much like normal, using my coupons and sales ads. I'm not making off like I know some people are, but my food money is lasting the month and that's what really matters. I do go searching for coupons for specific items like cat litter, and I'm trying to keep a journal of what an item costs at each store that I go between (Kroger and Meijer). Even if something is on sale at Kroger, it will still often be cheaper at Meijer. The only thing I will stock up on in larger quantities (still nothing like the show) is cereal because difficult child is the cereal queen. She goes through it fast. [/QUOTE]
