I have always considered myself a smart shopper. But one of my New Years goals is to become a better shopper. I am clipping coupons, matching them with sales, downloading coupons, and signing up for free samples.
I have yet to buy coupons but I haven't ruled that out yet. So far this week I have purchased toothpaste and shampoo for only the sales tax. One grocery shopping trip this week I saved 45% of my total bill. That was a personal best at the grocery for me.
My largest savings this week was at Hobby Lobby. Not only did I purchase items to make wedding favors at 50% off but I found Christmas items were 90% off. The giant wreath I wanted for the front of our barn had been $149.00. I paid $14.90 plus tax. Talk about major savings.
With a wedding in a little over 5 months for our wonderful daughter, I am sure all those savings will be put to good use.

Do you ever read Kelly at Faithful Provisions or Sami Cone? They are both from Nashville and are BIG BIG savings/coupon blogs. Jessica from The Mom Creative also posts a lot of deals from time to time.
I am a great sale shopper. I never pay full price for anything!
I always like to buy one or two Christmas decorations on major clearance each year. I bought an adorable frame at Cracker Barrel this year and a Noel sign from Dollar General of all places...it's really cute.
