It's fun to try and save as much as I can - kind of has become a game/challenge for me!! :) I stumbled on a 50% off sale (off everything) at a really nice consignment shop here in town where I was able to pick up a couple of really nice shirts and a brand new pair of super cute Privo by Clarks shoes for a total of $17. Great back to school stuff for me! (The shoes are reg. price about $75 at REI)
We are really trying to be good stewards of the money God has blessed us with. Are you living frugally? How do you save money for your family? I'd love to hear! :)

Yay you! How awesome are your savings!! I coupon but not near as much as I would like to. Hate to say it but most of the time I am last minute & just rush to get whatever I need. What great savings, I really need to be more aware of what I could be keeping in my pocket!
It's really not too hard - once you get a system down. I have a giant binder full of coupons and watch all the ads. But what really helps is I follow a couple of different coupon blogs - and they lay out all the super great scenarios for you. So like starting tomorrow there's an AWESOME deal on General Mills cereal and snacks at Safeway - and one of the blogs has it all laid out for me. So, I know exactly which coupons to use, and exactly what boxes of what to buy. Makes it a LOT easier!!
