Couponing

  So I've recently started couponing and I have to say that I actually enjoy it, well sometimes. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing but then I go to CVS and save some major money and that makes it all better. I went to CVS today and my bill was around $40 and I only spent $7, well technically I spent $17 but I got bucks back for $10 to use on my next purchase. Anyway I was pretty proud of myself, I was just telling Lamar that I almost can't buy anything now unless it's on sale or if I have a coupon. I did go to Wal-Mart the other day for some other groceries and it was the first time I ad/price matched and I almost had an adreneline high, yes I'm lame I know but hey, it's the most exciting thing I have going on right now. I was watching extreme couponing last night and I don't think I could ever do what they do, those people are crazy about couponing. One guys grocery bill was over $600 and he spent less then $50, that's crazy to me but these people also stock pile. They have mini grocery stores in there basement, how cool would it be to just go in your basement and get whatever you needed but like I said I'm not that crazy, well not yet anyway. I have quite a few friends that coupon and I love seeing/hearing all the things they got and how much they paid for it, Christy M and Amber K are rockstars at couponing. Anyway, enough of my rambling on and on about coupons, seriously I need to get out of the house and meet some people then maybe I'd have more to talk about ;)

  1. HAha That makes me laugh! I'm curious about the ad matching at wallyworld. Can you just SAY the price or do you have to show them the ad.

  2. You do have to show them the ad and I think they pretty much ad match with most grocery stores, which is great.
