I'd love to help if anyone has any specific questions for me.
Yes, you do save WAY MORE than the cost of the $1.25 paper. It's such a great feeling when you see the $ and % savings that you recieve. Our receipts print that info at the bottom. I love it when the cashier hands you the receipt and says "Wow, you saved over $50!"
I figure that I have saved at least $100 a month if not way more. It has helped fund our Disney trip!
The best part is that it is so easy and quick. You aren't searching through tons of coupons, trying to figure out if this coupon works for this sale. Everything is spelled out in black and white! You pull the coupons before you hit the store, zoom through with your list and coupons and save money. Once you are "stockpiled" the list grows rather short.
Give it a try. It's worth the buck to see if you like it. Do read the information on the how and why so that you see the method to the madness. Have fun!
Oh ya, what I did during my trial period was totally seperate the groceries from what I got from the list and what I bought off of the list so that I could see the actual savings on my "list" items. Does that make sense? On my list items I once saved 74%. That was a rare occasion but it did make me smile!
