Well Ok, I have found my new obsession. It is something very different from my normal fits of newness, it is couponing. I know right? I dont know if its the thrill or the giggle I get from saying, "yeah, I cut coupons"! It was a hobby picked up, actually months ago but after a recent TV show it has returned to the for front of my brain.
GOAL: becoming the crazy coupon lady!, no not really, I would really like to be that frugile but I know me and my level of patience only surrenders so much. So, the trip to the grocery store...its isle after isle fingering the coupons, over and over, then its checkout...the moment of truth. And what do you know..I get the sassy checkout lady and the foot tapper behind me. But thats ok because this chick saved $40. Yes, I was very happy, $40 can buy a cute top, fresh makeup, or even a vintage cake stand. No its not the $700 the lady on TV saved but come on, realistic goals is key!
After my new found love, the clipped coupon I have set a small goal, thus being to buy $100 worth of groceries but spending under $50 and donating it to the local food pantry, which happens to be across the street, score!
So, saving ever penny counts. Make it a challenge instead of chore and be proud to know that you, yes you have saved money through a simple clip or even a reusable bag (.05 per bag at my local market).
...how cute, its a coupon organizer for your shopping cart, who says you have to be a crazy cat lady to be a crazy coupon clipper?( in case you are wondering these are all seperate, no I would not like a cloth calender hanging from my cart)
