with the popularity of extreme couponing I have noticed rules
are changing on coupons.
I'll detail later.

People always ask us how we can aford to do all that we do. It's simple, we live a frugal(ok cheap) way of life. I am the queen of leftovers and can stretch a dollar more than you can imagine. I'll share my tips and recipes with you and I'd love you to do the same.

coupon run
Yesterday we did a coupon run at a grocery store we dont usually shop in but I saw an ad that said they would double 10 coupons. It is any day of the week, with their coupon, but 10 coupons is 10 coupons if you plan it right.
So with about 30 coupons in hand, in case they didnt have items in stock, we set off to the store.
We bought 32 items and saved $64.. Hmmm ! Do people still think coupons dont work?
Quite the haul. And we saved so much money. I feel my vacation fund growing again.
By the way we just got back from a 2 week cruise to Hawaii with the savings my couponing has brought us.
I'd love to hear your stories. The only to get better at couponing is to hear from the other
couponers outthere.

to be noticed
Sunday we did a huge shop. Mostly because we have been on vacvation for 17 days and were out of
everything.
I got a little worried as the total kept going up and I was freaking out by how much the register
total was growing.
They asked if we had coupons. My favotire slogan by the way..haha ! And out came the
stack.
The cashier started waving them over the scanner and dollars began to drop. Ca ching !
We ended up saving over $64.00.. As my husband collected the reciept the couple behind
him in line said good job and gave him a thumbs up.
Ok, you know youve done well when other shoppers notice and honestly it was even better
because it was the guy said something. We impressed him.
I am lovingmy couponing..
Anybody have any stories to share. Thats how we all learn.
