[quote=Anonymous]I coupon here and there and it is not a full time job and I eat fairly healthy.

First, if it is possible for your husband to take his lunch, he should do that. I found that a lot of money is wasted with eating out and thigns like morning coffee! This will probably make the biggest dent in your budget.

Also, try coupon and deal blogs like Hip2save and fatwallet and slickdeals. Basically Google "coupon blogs" and you will find a ton out there, and many have the same deals posted.

The key is to match deals with coupons. For example, if something at CVS is on sale or you get Extra Bucks AND use a coupon, then it often times if free. You do not need to do the research on this. The coupon blogs will do them for you.

PPs are right in that many coupons are for unhealthy things. But occasionally you can find healthy coupons on websites like Common Kindness.

Stock up when you find the good deals. Also pay attention when Harris Teeter has their "super double" coupon weeks where they double any coupon up to $2, making some things $4 off.

Finally, if you have time, do a spreadsheet that compares prices of things. I have found that Whole Foods often has the cheapest prices on things by comparing prices.[/quote]
