In these challenging times, we need to be intentional about maximizing our resources and being better stewards of our finances. Money problems can put a huge strain on a relationship, which tremendously impacts our children, our marriages and our overall happiness.
Today, I will share a few strategies about being better stewards of our finances specifically as it relates to necessities like food, toiletries (and even diapers and pull ups in my house). A great way that I have found to maximize our household finances is by using coupons. Yep I said coupons… good old fashioned coupons!
Just a few years ago, you would only hear me talking about a coupon if it was for a department store. But coupons for groceries and toiletries… no way and to use them at Target… no way!
In fact, I thought people who used coupons were “special.” Hey I am just being honest. I thought, “That takes way too much time” and “I will never do that.”
Stretching Your Money for Your Family
Well today is a new day… I am a believer. About a year ago, a member of my women bible study class did a presentation on “couponing.” Yes there is am official term for it. I was amazed when I saw some of her receipts and the items she bought a ridiculously low prices.
Last week, I went into a drug store and was able to purchase 5 packs of Huggies diapers (the jumbo pack) for a mere $10 when the retail price is usually $59.95 (each pack costing $11.99). Do you hear what I’m saying?… That’s a savings of $49.95 on one purchase. I am definitely a believer!
This whole thing can get pretty complicated but in future blog postings, I’m going to share some strategies that I have found to be useful. I will do my best to keep it really simple because couponing can be done by anyone.
