Hi Everyone,-
Just wanted to hear your stories and share mine about the outcome of our last Millionaire Mom Expert Call with Stephanie Nelson, Good Morning America's Money Saving Expert.
I started clipping coupons to test out the system. After she told us that the average person could save about 50% on their groceries, I was in! I also figured that because I do a lot of produce and natural foods shopping, it would be harder to reach that 50%, but I'd be happy with 20-30%. I have two daughters, so I was looking to save more on the toiletries that seem to be a necessity with teenage girls.
I would have to say that so far, I've saved about 20%. I found a great coupon for my favorite dessert - Tofutti Cuties. I get $1.50 off, and the box at TJs cost only $2.69. I also love the Fresh & Easy $5 coupon. They often have foods (meats, fruits and veggies included) at 50% off once they reach their sell-by date, so I save a lot on that, and then I add the $5 coupon! I got out of there paying only $17.49 for three bags of groceries which would have easily cost me $50+ at any other store.
So far, since our MomsMakingaMillion.com call with Stephanie, I have saved about $100 from her suggestions in the last month.
If you attended the Pay Off ALL Your Debt (Including Your Mortgage) in 5-8 years teleconference, then you know that saving $100 a month is actually now going into my debt pay-off accelerator. Or, at least it will once I pay all the back-to-school requirements.
So, what have your success stories been? Or, not. Have you run into any problems? Maybe other members have some solutions.
