A guide that shows you how to save money on groceries with grocery coupons
Well, it has certainly been an interesting first week with this challenge. It definitely didn’t get off to a good start with me heading to the emergency room (luckily the final verdict was that it wasn’t caused by my food preparations) and me getting antibiotics which have put some restrictions on when I can eat…
The sugar withdrawal hit big time and it’s not fun. It is very similar to the withdrawal I went through when I quit my soda habit a few years back. I spent the day dreaming that this next week brings a wonderful deal on Ben & Jerry’s ice cream because I happened to find a…
