Confessions of a Coupon Lady

I confess...I cave easily to peer pressure to try things that are trendy. For example...Facebook...I swore I would never join, that I didn't have a need for Facebook or the time to check it...I caved, I joined and now I am on Facebook daily.


Now I have been taken over by couponing...my sister started couponing before couponing was even cool. Again I claimed I didn't have the need or the time for couponing. The TLC starts showing extreme couponers and I spend more time with Jamie and learn more about it and now I must confess...I love to coupon!!


Last weekend while my family was here we decided to do a little dumpster diving to see if we could get some more coupons. Behold the results of a half an hour of driving around and maybe almost getting stopped by the police...but it was totally worth it! This week my couponing adventures scored me this great deal at Walgreens...


6 Bottles of body wash, 5 bottles of shaving cream, 4 deodorants, 4 packages of razors, 2 tubes of toothpaste, as well as some candy for fillers...all for a grand total of $30!!! That is a $90 saving from the retail price of $120.00!
So i came away with a years supply of products for Andy as well as a thrilling victory for me for getting such a great deal!! I love to shop and if i can do it for cheap and get things we need and will use...well so be it!! Thanks Jamie for getting me to cave in to the peer pressure...I definitely needed a new hobby!
*I also scored a great deal at Walmart that night...$60 worth of groceries for about $18.00*
