Staying under budget

Even though I've been couponing for a while now, I still haven't really cut down my budget. I still spend on average $100-$120 a week (I know that makes some of you cringe!), but I get WAY MORE for what I spend. One of my goals lately has been to really cut down on my budget. If you've been reading my blog, you know I have some challenges (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) when it comes to stockpiling - limited space and limited number of coupons. Even so, I've been able to stock up on some things. I'm going to concentrate on getting only the REALLY GOOD deals and not just the pretty good ones. I've done my lists for this coming week and it looks like I'll be able to get what we need, which isn't much, plus the deals I want, and only spend $60-$70. I know it's not the amazing $40 a week budget that I see on so many wonderful couponing blogs, but it's great progress for me!
