December 2008 was my first full month of shopping mostly sales and using coupons. I must say that I am convinced and impressed. I was one of those people who believed that clipping coupons was a waste of time. I also believed that all you could save is a few cents per item, but I have proven myself wrong.

With the help of so many outstanding deal sites I have increased the power of my grocery $$$. Below is the links to the posts that chronicle my journey into the world of coupon shopping.
