Why I use coupons…

I saved 73% on my grocery bill today. This wouldn’t be possible had I not used coupons, eCoupons, and my store reward card. I know several of you have mentioned that you don’t like to sacrifice name brands for savings. As you can see, all my products are name brands. I didn’t sacrifice a thing!

Here’s what I came home with for $7.76 and HOW I did it.
