How I did my binder,thoughts on budgets, stores and bloggers.....

After trial and error with my binder to do either the inserts or the cut out of coupons in the baseball cards, I manage to decide to do the cut out coupons in baseball cards. I had started out with this and was thinking there would be a easier way to get this. However, I had 2 binders with me when I walked in the stores. One binder was coupons that was already cut and in baseball sleeves and the other was just inserts in slides. After that, I had no clue what coupons I had in one binder when it came to matching up against the stores. There are times, that I use other bloggers to make my list, however, I do use the grocery stores sale ads to make my list. I have notice that some (not all) bloggers only post items that they believe are to be good to them and miss what might be important to another individual. Granted that I am one that does not like shopping and I only go out once a week to shop, I do not go to all the stores in the area because either I am short on funds or gas or they are about an 30 minute drive for me each week. Most of the time, I will look at the other stores and then base on what my shopping is going to be on Wednesday when the sale ad comes out for Farm Fresh and Food Lion, then I decide if I should go to what store. I am on a strict budget and I have to work within that budget. I have to think what is good for my family and my budget.
