Getting Started

So, a couple days ago, my husband showed me a video about a woman who feeds her family on $4 a week for food.

Well, I decided that I wanted to try this for myself. This blog is the record of those attempts. Hopefully I will eventually be able to match what she does. I will also post good deals that I find.
So, my first experience in this actually worked out really well. I was reading a blog "Couponing to Disney" (link at the right) and I found a list of free/almost free products, when coupons were applied properly. As soon as my husband got home, I sent him out to see if we could get it to work for us. Well, it did. We got 2 10 oz. boxes of Wheat Thins and a 10 pack of Schick dispoasable razors for free! Well, we did have to pay the tax. Unfortunately I don't have the receipt, so I cannot give you the exact amount that it started and ended at, but I thought it was really cool. Things like this will really be helpful in building up my stockpile so that I can eventually get the weeks groceries for very cheap, if not free.
