Extreme Couponing

My daughter has learned that couponing can teach you good Math skills. She has a three ring binder and pages that she sorts, food, paper products, bathroom, freebies, b1g1f.  For years my family called me THE COUPON QUEEN. I am now handing my tiara and coupons over to my daughter because she saved $16.00 off our grocery bill may not seem like a lot but its the hunt that's part of the planned shopping trip. Last month she won a $20 gift card, a coffee cup, a holiday Kellogg's box, which she also got about $10 worth of coupons which added free products to our order.
She has also learned abbreviations for coupon clippers:
