Last Year, and a New Year!

Well it's been a great year of couponing!! I have averaged out my savings and for the year I am right at 80% savings! Not to bad if I say so myself!! :) I am excited for the year to come and hoping I can keep at my 80% savings or make it even better in 2013!! I hope you also have saved a ton of this past year! If you haven't and you want to start in 2013, contact me, I will help you get this next year started off right! I also will try to do so much better as posting the match ups and the shopping trips each week. I got lost the last few weeks of 2012, due to sickness, the holidays and just life. So my next post will bring in you the new year. I am also thinking about hosting a class or two to get help anyone out there that needs started, I know reading it sometimes helps, but someone actually showing you goes a long way. I will let you know the dates as soon as I can get them on the calendar! Happy Couponing all my friends near and far, and here's to a great 2013 saving a ton of money along the way! Also side note, I have decided in this new year that every target gift card I earn with couponing I am going to save and use for christmas next year! Awesome I know, I can't wait to see how much I have, a very tangible way to see that money saved and used for other things!!
