I'm trying to install this into my head. All of this is to me, for my information.....and for whoever else who wants to know my inner thoughts.

Although it is nice to have a really low oop tally, sometimes it is not always possible to come away with $100 worth of groceries for $2.

I've not been couponing for our meals lately, bad Kelly! This is mostly things we really needed or were free.
