I seriously don't know if I have used more than a dozen coupons in my life, but you have inspired me...I am actually getting so excited to get back to the states and try it out (and I still have 9 months!)

HOLY CRAP!! I can't believe how much you saved. That is amazing.
I feel the same way about grocery shopping, I HATE IT! And also I felt like it would be to much work. The way you are talking about it I may be able to do it. Maybe I will try it. Thanks for your enthusiasm!!

OK, you're amazing, and you've convinced me to give it a try. Next week, I'll get the Sunday paper and start! You're incredible to post all the savings and where the sales are...thanks!

Thanks for your blog about it. I have thought the same way you did to start. I hate grocery shopping because I always feel guilty for all the money I spend every time. And I thought it was a waste to cut coupons because they are brand name and stuff I never use.
Our little newspaper offers sunday only so you pay 7.00 a year for the coupons! Not bad huh? I'll have to sign up. You gave me the motivation to start. Thanks again Holly!

Just like Alyson - I'm going to give it a try! I'm excited! Wes is excited too. He's been wanting me to shop smarter. =o) What I love the most is how you make all the products all organized for the picture. It's so cute! How long does it take you to do that? You're awesome Holly! Keep it up!

You'll love this, Stef! I told Frank before I left to Safeway to not put away anything from Walgreen's because I wanted to take a picture. When I came home, he had everything all set up for me, so I just added Safeway to it. It takes like 5 mins to do it.

You're so cute. Your hubby is cute too for setting it all up for you to take pictures. Do you get most of your coupons from the paper? Sunday paper especially? Do you go online? If you were to write a coupon-shopping 101 guide, how would that go...

Katie and Co., if you scroll down to the first post there is the getting started instructions. Let me know if you have any questions.

Holly-
I am not a coupon clipper, but you have inspired me :) A good friend of mine has a great product from her company to help organize your grocery shopping. You will have to check it out!
