I don't want to explain all of the details on how it works but I get 3 sunday news papers each week and use the following websites to get the weekly deals on groceries.

If you are looking for a way to increase your food storage and save TON's of money this is your answer. At first I used to just shop at Albertsons but because I am crazy I go to walmart, riteaid, walgreens, and smiths. I live pretty close to all of them and am able to go each week for the best deals. Each week at most places there are items that are completly free (because I have a coupon and its on sale) so I for sure get the free items and the items with 4-5 stars (once you check out the sites you'll know what I am talking about.) If you do want more info you can leave your Q's with you email and I'd love to answer.
So I usually have a bunch of extra coupons for things that Jeff and I don't eat so I have bought a bunch of stuff for my mom to take home during christmas. They only have 1 local grocery store in p-town and it can be very expensive. So mom here is the loot so far:

That is so awesome. My only problem is driving to Logan. But hey, now that gas prices are lower again it might be a good idea to start clipping again.
Great job with the coupons!! and I hope all goes well with the new job!!!
When i come home for christmas i think you should give me a little crash coarse on this coupon adventure. It'd surely help my college wallet regarding food.

Way to go Shelley! We tried to call for your birthday the other night and Lainey was suppose to sing on your answering machine but I don't think she actually did! So happy belated!
Sweet! I am totally going to check that out!
I need you to teach me. I don't know what stars you are referring to and I've been searching for five minutes. :)
