Let's be honest. In Michigan, there ARE no jobs. I've been unemployed for a year since I quit working for a misogynistic bastage and a DM who didn't give a fart about my complaints. I've looked for the occasional work, started up my Etsy shop again ( for those inclined to look), and kept trying to think of ways to save money.

We're putting in a garden this year, and hopefully that will cut down on our food costs -- we can use a lot of the veggies we'll be growing to make our own...

I'm going to keep a log of what I've saved at the store here -- hopefully someone can offer me suggestions for the future (:

I couldn't find a copy of the Detroit Free Press, so I picked up a copy of the Adrian paper instead. I'm starting at ground zero here with coupons, so I was pretty sure I wouldn't end up saving thirty bucks right away. I found a few good coupons and went snipping away in the car while we headed to the actual store we do our shopping...
