November 8: Today I am thankful for coupons!! Haha, yes I said coupons, and I know you may think that is silly that I am thankful for that, but just listen for a moment. For the past few months, Michael and I have been receiving the Sunday newspaper for it's coupons and occasional good reading. For a while, I was looking through all the coupons I had organized by expiration date but that soon became too much to deal with. So now I have a database that I have created and update every week with the new coupons that come in. I organize them all by dates, categories, and if I've used them or not. So far, I have been able to keep our grocery bill down at least $5-10 sometimes more!! It is important to be a good steward of what you are giving, and there are many things that I can get for free with coupons! Does this whole couponing thing really mean I'm growing up now? Nonetheless, I am thankful for opportunities to save money and investing it elsewhere :)
