Penny Experiment

It’s always exciting for me to welcome a new couponer who has decided to participate in Penny Experiment because that means another person getting great deals for their local food bank. Leah who writes La Vida Cheapo is the latest couponer to join in this project and she did it with flair — purchasing $42.16 worth of food for $0.59 and a 99% savings off of retail price (be sure to visit her blog for other great saving money information).
