Coupons Are My Friends

I do not think I have ever talked about my love affair, it is a love affair with coupons. Coupons are my friend, my very best money saving, friend.







^ That is my coupon note book.^






I use baseball card plastic sheets to hold and organize my friends.






We (the hubby and I) went to Wally World after he got paid last time and the coupon book always goes with us. I managed to save a $40.00 at Wally World. That is huge at Wally, cause they do not double or triple coupons. We went to Albies where they triple up to .39 cents (Did you know there is no cent sign on my keyboard? Is that every keyboard? I guess I have failed to notice this little tid bit of information.) and double up to .50 cents. I had a coupon for blistex lip balm that was worth .35 cents so it was tripled (follow me OK.) The lip balm was $1.39 B1G1(Buy one Get one Free). With the triple couple I saved $1.05 on each tube I bought. I got 4 tubes of lip balm for .68 cents. Yes, I know 4 tubes of chap stick is a little obsessive, but for the record (if there is a record) I was only planning on buying 2, but I can not turn down a B1G1. Beside I will either lose the dangs things or I will end up putting at least one tube in the dryer. It never fails.
On Sundays, after church, the hubby and I head to Ablies to get a Sunday Paper, well I buy the double paper you get 2 papers for a discounted price. I also print coupons off the internet. I like to keep my notebook full and I try to compare prices between Wally and Albie. You have to be careful, but if you wacth for the price changes you can get some really awesome deals!

Oh gosh...when the kiddos were little, this was one of the things that I did.
How I got out of the 'habit', dunno. I can attest to the savings....sheeeshhhh.....in today's economy why wouldn't I still be doing this? *shaking head*
