Coupons

So.....Bethany got home from church. I was sick. (I have been having an allergic reaction to the medications I have been taking, which I might get into later, or maybe not.) She told me Tuesday night there was going to be a class on how to cut your grocery bill in half. I was like, "Oh, we should go to it!" Well I got the kids ready cause this is a stake activity and they have babysitting and I get in the parking lot and it is one lady after another, after another, going into the church! I am thinking this is a releif society function at this point and I am like, "I am not going in there. There are no dudes and I am going to be the only guy." So I get on the phone and I call and guess what? It IS a releif society function!!! So I am sitting in the car and I am like, "I can just man up and go in and learn or........ not." So I go in and I am the only man in almost the whole building besides scouts. I go and drop off the kids and sit in and I don't think that I have ever been smiled at that much in all my life. But it was really good. The lady just said that you keep a coupon notebook and keep track of the sales in that notebook and she said that every 3 months there is a patern when the food that you always buy anyway will be on sale. You just need to know when that sale is and buy enough to last till it goes on sale again in 3 months. She was telling us of deals that she gets all the time. It was crazy! But she was asked how many times does she go shopping cause it sounded like a lot but she said once a week. And she said when you first start with the coupons you will spend about an hour a week figuring it all out. But after a couple months she said that you can take 20 minuets a week and you will have everything you need for your shopping. I thought that it was very informative. I think that I am going to have to try and give it a shot. I think Bethany won't do it, mostly cause she doesn't even blog and I just want to say something about her anyway cause she won't read this. Now ladies....don't tell your husbands about this and fellas who read this....I still like guns, hunting, fishing, blood and knives.....lets just keep it on the down low. OK? If anybody wants any more information about what I learned just email me and I will see if I can help you out.
