First of all, I thought I had edited my template for yesterday's post, but somehow it ended up duplicating Wednesday's post. Sorry about that. It's fixed now, for whatever good that does.

Yesterday, Yahoo featured this blog post, which claims that a woman cut $14,000 off her grocery bill last year by clipping coupons.

Here's my question: In order to save $14,000 off of your grocery bill in one year, you would have to buy more than $14,000 worth of groceries in a year. That equates to $270 per week. Do any of you spend $270 per week on groceries??? That's an insane amount of food and toiletries. She only has three kids... we're not talking octomom, here.
