I bring my kids to this local playgroup to meet with other moms and
kids in the area. Three weeks ago the leader decided that we would
have a contest to see who could make the biggest savings at the
supermarket (percentage savings) The rules were pretty simple you had
to purchase at least $50 worth of groceries prior to the coupon
savings. Whoever had the greatest percentage savings in the three
week period would win a motorized jeep (donated by a local toy store)
for their child(ren). I always thought of myself as a savings guru
and figured I had a great chance at winning this. In fact when I
saved 63% on one of my shopping trips, I was sure that the jeep was
ours! Last Friday we met and turned in our grocery receipts. I
couldn't believe when Lisa turned in her receipts showing a savings
of 82% I had to look at the receipt 5 times. She actually got $143.87
worth of groceries for only $25.89! She also had a pocket full of
other receipts where she saved: 79%, 73%, 68% and 67%. I asked her
the natural question how did you do this? She told me that she signed
on to a program at: http://coupons.hk.st She had saw a television
show for this and thought it was worth trying out. Well like the
other moms at the playgroup I couldn't wait to sign up!
