Most of us do everything we can to save as much money as possible. We pinch pennies here and there to be able to treat ourselves on occasion, or because we have bills to pay or retirement to save for.
This usually means just using our good sense when making purchases. Other people make saving money both a skill and hobby, like mom of two, Melissa Rowe.
Amazingly, she is able to feed her family of four on just $50 a month, an amount many of us can spend over the course of a week!
Melissa has extreme couponing down to a science and knows exactly how to maximize her savings. She spends hours cutting out coupons and organizing them. She makes about four trips to grocery stores in a week to get the best deals, and often pairs her coupons with sales already happening.
Even when she buys in bulk, in one trip she managed to pay only $19 for groceries that would cost anyone about $100 without coupons or sales. That's a lot of savings, and funds that can be used to take her family on a fun outing, for example!
