How to have $1000 in savings by Lacy Wallace

"started using grocery coupons and cut back on dining out"

How I did it: We're down to maybe a couple times per month eating out.  We use grocery coupons and make cheap meals at home. Having gotten used to the idea now, it doesn't feel like work anymore.

Lessons & tips:

Clip all the coupons you find, and subscribe to moneysavingmom.com emails.  She puts deals together (and some are user-submitted) based on coupons that are out right now.  Much of it is ideas for stacking coupons together to get an item really cheap or even free.  So you clip the coupons and she delivers the clever ways to use them, straight to your email.  No thinking required.

Great job...

on this one! I need to follow your lead on eating out less. And I’m glad your hard work with the couponing has been rewarded.
