I Do DIG Coupons!

I admit it, I am becoming a coupon freak.

Some of my friends got me into couponing and it took me a few months to actually "get it" but now I love it - even though sometimes the cashiers look at me like I'm white trash or something.

Tonight, I went shopping and got the following: 5 lotions, 10 packs of gum, 1 pack of hair elastics, 7 first aid kits, 1 diced tomatoes, 1 box of cereal and 2 super cute pair of Op shorts for Liz. Retail price for all of that is $52.

I spent $5.

I'm seriously not kidding.


I am addicted because of deals I get like these! If anyone wants to get into it...check out pinchingyourpennies.com. It is the coupon website of all websites.

Anyhow, now you know my inner coupon nerdiness!

That is awesome. I have started to use coupons too with grocerysmarts. I am not the best yet, but I am getting better. I love to have a handful of coupons.

you are inspiring me! I used to do coupons all through law school. We saved so much money!! I need to get back to the coupon business. I can't believe you got all of that stuff for $5! Wow!

You did awesome Carol! It is way addictive! Last week at the grocery store I spent 180 and then gave them 90 bucks worth of coupons which was awesome, the sad thing, if I can't save at least that much, I get so bummed! How sad is that? I get so excited every Tuesday when the Smith's ad comes out! Can't believe my life has come down to this lol.

I always hear about these people and I never believe it. Wow! I might have to give it a try. I don't know what I'd do with all those Mentos but I'm sure I could think of something.

Way to go! I am going to start doing coupons too. I love a good bargain. Your kiddos are too cute. Lizzie is hilarious. What is she going to be like in 10 years? Look out!

Carol, I have thought about doing this for years, but just haven't made the effort. Maybe you could be my tutor?
