A Hobby!

For years now, Layton has been telling me to get a hobby. It's pretty difficult to find time for a hobby when you have kiddos running around, a house to clean, a full time job to work, and the list goes on and on. I am excited to declare that I have found an interest and now I am hooked. As the family budget planner/bill payer, another task that I feel is super important is saving money for my family. Thanks to a wonderful friend, I have learned to be a coupon shopper.

I am pleased to say that in my last four trips to Publix, I have spent $172.98 out of pocket and saved $213.67. That is pretty amazing! Below are some pics of the groceries I came home with Saturday when I saved $105 and spent $38.18. Not pictured, I also got a large bag of dog food to go along with the 60 jars of baby food and all the other great items.


Coupon shopping at Publix is the new way of shopping for the Anderson family. I now purchase the items we would normally buy at full price from the big box store on a sales cycle at Publix. It is amazing how fruitful my efforts at clipping have become. Praise the Lord!

I've had great luck with coupons at Publix! Are you familiar with Southern Savers? That's what I use and it's so easy!
