Coupons!

So I have a new hobby/obsession. Is obsession too strong? you decide. I have been getting tired of the large sum of money we've been shelling out for groceries. My sister-in-law has some friends that got her into clipping coupons. After a while of hearing her brag about the money she was saving, i sat down with her and asked her how she was doing it. My thinking was, I'm seeing these coupons that are save 25, 50 cents, 1.00, then there are BOGO sales and ect., how much money are you saving? 2 bucks? because that's not much of a difference from 100.00 of groceries. So talking to my sister-in-law and helping her clip out coupons one Sunday afternoon, she laid out her secrets. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention because on my grocery excursion i only saved 4.95. Funny enough that was almost how much i had to pay in taxes. I was hoping to save a little bit more money than that. Well i kind of did, i was shopping at WINCO. I did how ever find a really great bargain at Home Depot! I'm signed up for their garden club and they send me e-mails with coupons in them. In their last email there was a BOGO for a rose bush! so i got 2 rose bushes for 7.95!!! Which worked out so beautifully. We decided that one would go to my mom and one to Cory's mom.
Oh and look what i got for mother's day!! it's my favorite flower! my son and husband are so sweet!
