Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Amanda and I currently live in Dallas, Ga. I have am married and we have a little boy. This blog is going to be about how I spend $50-$75 a week on groceries and necessities. My weeks will be Sat - Fri.Some of these deals I will get without coupons but a majority of my sales/purchases will be with coupons. Yes, I am one of those annoying people in the checkout line with a huge stack of coupons. :) I buy six newspapers a week and will sometimes order coupons from ebay if I know it is something I will want to stock up on.


Please feel free to leave comments for me each week about any great deals you have scored!
