Couponing


I've never been much for couponing. . . I am a firm believer of buying things one needs and NOT things "just because they are on sale."

Inspired by my sister, I thought, "I'm going to give this a try."

Wow! This is seriously a skill! I didn't think it would take much. There is a bit more to it than I anticipated. However, I literally made $48 today in the form of a gift card and cash. On top of that, I saved $29 with coupons on items I would have already been buying. YES!

It's taking me a while to get into the swing of things, but seriously, that's more money than I would have made at work today.

Valerie told me, "It's was empowering." I thought,"Um, okay. . ."
This is empowering.

  1. My mom was a crazy couponer when I was little. She would plan grocery shopping down the the penny. I think it is a huge skill, and one that I wish I was better at. Good for you!
