Thank God for coupons. They have been such a blessing in my life. I don't know how I ever managed without them.

I'm pretty new to couponing and I'm still trying to figure it out, it amazes me to see something like this. We don't have a Meijer's, but I know it can be done at other stores as well. I know I'm missing a piece as I've yet to save more than I've spent. Thanks so much for helping people save...I know I'll get it yet!

Kristin, hang in there. This does NOT happen overnight. You need to build up your coupon database by buying more papers, etc...and yes, this can be done elsewhere. Meijers just happens to have an awesome sale this week. Let me know if you have questions or I can be of any help!
