Welcome to Connect and Save! This group was started by two moms, Julie and myself, Angela. We both are passionate about being good stewards of our families finances and we've discovered how shopping effectively with coupons can not only be super fun but, can also be so rewarding! We are so excited about this group and we hope that you all will find this to be a place where you can share deals that you are finding, learn how to use coupons effectively, swap couponing ideas with each other and help each other become better stewards of money. 

Our group has monthly meetings on the first Friday of every month. We will be discussing everything from how to organize your coupons, to menu planning with sale items, to slashing the cost of the items that your family uses the most often. We also hope to have plenty of discussion time to be able to answer questions and simply hangout together and enjoying each others company. Last but not least, our monthly meetings will have our white elephant or should I call it, "Free Elephant" gift exchange. A fun gift exchange where the item being exchanged must be something that you scored for free!  For more information on the meetings, you can visit our Facebook page. 

Be prepared to see lots of posts in this group talking about various awesome deals, couponing tips and basically anything related to friends connecting and friends saving. 
Thank you for joining us on our frugal journey!
Angela and Julie

Welcome!

Hi Ladies! This site will be under construction for awhile but, I just wanted to take a moment to say "hello". I want to tell you all how excited I am that you are joining us on our frugal journey. Whether you are looking to simply shave a few dollars off your grocery bill or maybe you are on your way to becoming the next Extreme Couponer, I'm glad you're part of this group!

Julie and I hope to make this blog a place where you'll find useful information. Hopefully it'll become a great resource for you on your money saving adventure! Check back soon and hopefully you'll see this page transforming into something more than "under construction".

:) Angela
