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. Sure, with planning and the right coupons and sales, I've done that many times before. But, just because my tally isn't $2 everytime doesn't mean I am failing at couponing, I have to remember that...

This is good to know!



Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing. COFFEE FILTERS: Not just for making coffee....


1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China . Separate your good dishes...
