You may have noticed I haven't posted much since my huge Food Lion shopping trip. Honestly, I haven't done any major shopping since Food Lion closed. (Other than to pick up milk and produce and/or use up earned rewards.) I've spent some of the time I would have been in the stores reading Stephanie Nelson's book The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Budget in Half. Although I did not glean any tips to saving big bucks at the store, I was encouraged to check out her website HERE. All I can say is, "WOW!" She has done a super job of rounding up volunteers, who search high and low for the best deals. Even though I am capable of hunting down a bargain, there is no way I could ever make such detailed lists!
Take the time to look at her website. You'll find:
- Free printable shopping lists for all national stores in our area (you will not find anything for Martin's, nor Tom Leonard's)
- Lots of freebies (items are listed by store, with sales offering the biggest discount listed first)
- Opportunities to snag items for charities
Best of all, the website is free to join! (No gimmick here. This is not a trial offer, just a free place to find the best deals.) You can even sign-up to be alerted to new offers at specific stores!
The book is available through the Henrico County Public Library.
