Hey! I'm Alex and I'm a [nearly] 21 year old senior at the University of Illinois. Guess what? College is expensive! But between school, research, and my position on the executive board of a service organization, I don't have a lot of time to work. During a typical week I work 8-10 hours in the dining hall. It's not enough to live on.
Enter coupons.
Though I've always casually used coupons, I started seriously couponing in March. Partway through April, I began to document all of my expenses and savings. During May, my first full month of documentation, I saved over $800, which is about 50% off retail price. As I build and maintain my stockpile, I expect to spend less and less, and save more and more. This blog is about that journey.
For June, my goal is to spend less than $90 on groceries. During May I spent $120.
