So I think I may have an addiction--to couponing. Every week, I can't wait for Sunday. I love getting the new coupon inserts in the newspaper! I buy about 3 papers every Sunday just for the coupons. I am constantly online checking my favorite deal sites: myfrugaladventures.com, moneysavingmom.com, and thekrazycouponlady.com. I am also constantly planning another trip to either CVS, target, or walmart. Did you know that walmart price matches any other ad you bring in?! Our Marsh had triple coupons 2 weekends ago, and I went crazy! It was so fun...I went to marsh 7 times in the 4 days this was taking place. And my most favorite place is CVS! This was what my trip looked like yesterday:
5 count Zyrtec 5.99 (had a $4 coupon)
1 colgate toothpaste 2.99 (had a $1 coupon)
2 crest toothpaste 2.49 each (had 2 $1 coupons)
1 colgate toothbrush 2.79 (had a .75 coupon)
Schick Hydro 5 razor 8.00 (had a $4 coupon)
Total: about $25
I used extrabucks (i already had) to pay my $12 balance after using coupons.
Paid $1.50 out of pocket
Received $16 ecb to use on my next trip!
I love CVS! Is anyone else CVSing every week?
Honestly for me couponing is so much fun--the thrill of getting things for almost free is SO exciting. Even if I don't exactly need the things I'll be getting for free-someone will. I am constantly getting colgate toothpaste for free--which i hand right over to my parents because they use colgate and we don't. Same with deoderant, while Kyle is dead set on Pure Sport Old Spice deoderant, my dad doesn't care what he uses. If I get too much of something, i can always donate it. So anyways...couponing is my thing. Everyone needs a "thing". Kyle is into hockey, and I am so into couponing. If i was working, I would probably not be so into this, but since i'm not--i have a lot of extra time on my hands!
If anyone is just throwing their coupon inserts away, feel free to send them my way :)

This post cracked me up because I am also addicted! I just started seriously couponing in May and I am so hooked. I didn't get the Zyrtec deal at CVS because they were sold out, but got a rain check. Did you know they do rain checks that include the extra care bucks?? (And my husband also refuses to use any deodorant but Old Spice!) We had to travel 45 minutes to get to our closest Marsh, but it was worth the triple coupons! Yay for free (or super cheap) stuff! :)
