Today my mother in law, Bonnie and I went to Cherry Valley for a seminar given by Jill Cataldo. For those who might not know who she is, she is the super coupon guru!
It was a 2 hour seminar and very interesting! I am excited to get started saving money!
She made an interesting point during her talk...we all try to get the best price on everything. We micromanage our finances when it comes to planning a trip, booking a hotel room etc, but it's like our brains shut down when we go grocery shopping. I think that is so true.
Even without all the information she gave today, I have for the past several weeks been using coupons and "stacking" them when I am able...and indeed this has saved me a lot of money thus far!
I can't wait until tomorrow morning to start getting all this in order! I am preparing to save money!
On a side note regarding saving money- today I went to Kohl's in the morning because my oldest boy (aged 13) no longer fits in to most of his clothes and my other two boys (aged 11) are also starting to out grow much of their clothing...I was thrilled to find some great deals. In the end I purchased 6 pairs of jeans, 4 pairs of sweatpants (the nice champion type ones that my boys like) and 3 nice, thick, heavy zippered sweatshirts. My total cost of purchase? $90.32 ...my total savings? $400.12! HOT DAMN! What an excellent day!
A blog about my exploits on my bike, my adventures with my camera, my life of rock and roll concerts, my 4 kids, and just about any other topic I think worth talking about.
