thrifty living

So I've learned that if I want to be a virtuous woman like the woman in Proverbs 31, it will require that I am careful about how I spend money. So with that said, I would like to offer a thrifty living tip. Learn to use coupons! I'm a "real" person, who has more to do than cut and print coupons ALL day, and I certainly wouldn't promote anything that would take up so much of your time that you neglect what is really important. But I've figured out that just taking a little bit of time and planning my menu for the week and using what coupons that I have will save some money. I print coupons that I find online(free coupons) and I cut coupons that are in the Sunday paper. Not alot of effort, right? Now, I will admit, I'm not saving as much as I would like to and I'm still learning how, but my point is, that ANYbody can do this. So determine in your heart that you will do what you can to be a good steward of what God has given you.
