Couponing

I love couponing.... there is nothing more exciting than getting things for free! Since Dev and I made the decision to move away so he could go to Chiropractic school i've definitely had to take my couponing to another level since we don't have a regular income coming in. The difference between me and the "extreme couponers"  is that I only buy unprocessed, organic food and chemical free household items. That in itself is a huge challenge since 95% of coupons are for things that are "Taboo" in the Lyons household. Last weekend I took full advantage of our trip to Chicago and stopped at my FAVORITE grocery store Whole Foods! I love the fact that they only supply the highest quality of products, mostly organic and from trustworthy companies. Here's the breakdown of our fabulous saving....

Total: $181.49
Total savings with coupons: 102.00

TOTAL AFTER SAVING: 79.49

Here's some pictures of the stuff we got for free!!
