Saving Money via Couponing is a Lesson and Skill to Learn

We are on a mission to save money and I have brought along my oldest in not only a lesson on how we can be frugal but give her a lesson to live by for her and her little family-to-be.  She's my main coupon organizer and in fact, she's putting together her own organizer and I can't wait to see what she comes up with.  So far, after using a few of the main mommy blogger saving sites such as SouthernSavers, Frugal Coupon Living, Nicoles Nickels, Saving with Shellie and some others.  I've also found that using business Facebook pages are giving us many more coupon savings along with their websites which is very nice. 

We just started this new budgeting once my husband left for Kuwait on 4/28 and plan to get even better with it.  As you can see, we have a long way to go but everyone has to start somewhere.  We allocated $800 a month for groceries and eating out.  We had some higher expenses due to a few unexpected purchases like a new propane tank.  


I'm anxious to see what the month will look like as well as upcoming months.
