August is not going to be a fun month money wise. We now have a van payment, and all that goes with owning a vehicle plus hydro and other bills and to top it off we will be short a weeks pay due to company summer shut down. It is time for me to put all I have learned about couponing to the test to get us through the month.
In July I stocked up on a few supplies,I don't think I will need toothpaste, laundry soap or any cleaning products til the end of the year. I plan on having other supplies like shampoo, soap and toilet paper stocked too by the end of the month. I also have planned for how much of dry goods we eat each month, approx how much pasta, rice, soup and sauces and have coupons on the way for all of that. Have yet to find meat coupons but I am working on it.
So my challenge is to save at least $200 in August on our groceries, that is about 40% of what we would normally spend. I am going to pop on regularly to keep the post updated.
