Welcome!

Well, I started out blogging about my organizing (www.theorganizingmaven.com) adventures, but it has turned into my couponing adventures, so I thought I should do a blog strictly for couponing and bargain finding!
  All of my couponing posts have been transfered below from my other blog.

So...WELCOME to 
The Diaries of a Couponing Mommy!!!

A little about me:

My name is Wende and I have always wondered how these people I saw on tv could buy $200 worth of groceries for $50.  In October of 2009, my husband changed careers and I decided that part of my job as a stay at home mom was to save us as much money as I could on ANYTHING we buy!  I do our budget and keep up with the house and kids, so why not make it a mission to spend as little as I can (and put more money in savings) on the things we need too? 

Now, I've always been a bargain hunter on housewares, clothes and all sorts of other things we buy, but never groceries.  I made it my mission to learn how to use coupons and use them to MY advantage! So with hours of reading blogs and looking at couponing sites, I started on my adventure.  It didn't take long to get the hang of things and by the end of the first month, I had knocked our grocery budget from $150 every two weeks to $50 a week!  My goal by January 2010 is to have it down to $30 a week!  

I would love to teach my readers how to do this too!  There are so many great deals out there and with just a few hours a week organizing your lists, you too can cut your grocery bill in half or more!

Please feel free to leave comments and links to your couponing deals and PLEASE subscribe to our feed!!!

I will be trying to post deals I find on the blogs here daily (well, with Christmas this week, that may not happen right away!) and posting how I am only spending $50 each week on our groceries!

Happy Reading!!!
