Did you know it’s a jungle out there?
I am introducing The Savings Jungle today!
Do you ever have friends who start doing something and you just watch them thinking “Nope, not me I am SO not going to do that?” You know where this is going—then you end up jumping in to do the same thing a few months later? Well I have a story like that.
About 2 years ago or so a couple of my friends started talking about the money they were saving using coupons. I thought “Coupons? Come on no one does that do they?”
I just watched. Thinking that they were putting SO much effort in to something that could not be saving them that much money(snickering behind my hand).
Well I don’t remember what coupons she gave me or pointed out to me that I could get a free item at the store, but I am pretty sure that is what happened. She also told me about someone’s blog who told were to go & what coupons to print & use. Okay I could do that—that isn’t a big time thing. She was very gracious & never pointed out my “bad” attitude & about face when I started saving money each week and telling her about it.(Thanks Gwen!)
Fast forward a couple of years.
I do buy a couple of papers every Sunday.
I do check a few websites(Money Saving Mom & Faithful Provisions) before I shop & I DO get FREE things we actually use in our house.
It is a money saving strategy for me—its worth the time I put in to it each week. I don’t blog about it here a lot because that really isn’t my focus on this blog but I wanted to introduce my friend’s website.
I am recommending that you head over to The Savings Jungle.
Especially my “real” life local friends because The Savings Jungle is focused on finding savings in Mid-MO.
Enjoy saving some cash when you find some good deals!
