First Attempt

So, I'm attempting this whole Penny Pinching thing and I have
learned some great things from "The Obsessive Shopper"...and I finally was able to go out and give it a try. So, here is my win from my first attempt at pinching my pennies. You pro's out there won't think this is a huge success.....but for my first try, I'll take it!
Out of pocket: $110
Saved: $68

Way to go! That is awesome. Isn't it the best feeling ever to know you saved a ton of money on just the normal stuff you would typically buy?

$68 is awesome savings!

Here is what I want to know..
Where did you do your shopping at? Were their coupons involved? give me the details lady!( I would really love to hear what you did from beginning to end!)

Wtg! soon you will become a pro and smell a deal a mile away!

Congrats! Isn't it the best feeling? And what are you talking about on everyone not feeling you did great? No one saves hundreds of dollars their first time out, in fact I think my first savings was around $10. But you know what? Whatever you save is that much more you now have! Awesome!

AMES! Great job! I haven't gone yet cause i didn't think any of my coupon dates matched the web site yet. Maybe I didnt look good enough?

Parker Family said...

I think you did great!! A lot better than I did my first time out shopping! Be careful, it gets totally addicting, I have to tell myself a lot of times that I don't really need to shop this week, and then spend more money, BUT at least it is all for a good deal!
