I am a novice. A newbie...a beginner! I have taken up the arduous hobby of "couponing" and I must be honest when I say that not only is it fun, and rewarding, but it also can really SUCK!
I have scored some great deals...and my freebie closet (which right now is FULL of toilet paper...we like us some toilet paper!)is pretty full, and my sundry items are well stocked. Last night the fam. and I went into town to do a little coupon shopping...it was meant as a tutorial of sorts for Teddy. He bailed. After all was said and done I got the wrong noodles, I got charged for my free eggs, and walked away easter-candyless (which was the MAIN reason to go shopping). But I did learn a valuable lesson...leave Teddy home! If anyone is interested here is what I did get right (please note these are the highlights...):
Scott TP regularly $2.15...I got it for $0.15/a package
Lysol wipes (with two lil' boys who CAN NOT seem to pee INSIDE the toilet) reg. 3.29...I got them for 2/$2.00 (plus I was supposed to get free eggs...but alas I got charged for them).
I also got some quaker rice snack-y things for free and some sour cream for nada...
Oh and Ziploc bags for $0.89/a box!
All in all I bought $67.56 worth of "stuff" for $31.89.
(another reason not to bring Tedly...stuff ended up in the cart that I didn't even know was there...Popsicle's anyone?)
While the shopping experience was less then FANTASTIC...we all had a good night! Teddy built me a trellis for some climbing plants that I don't have yet...but I WILL get them...oh yes I will!
