Feeling like a Coupin Virgin again

I use to be the person who would stand behind someone in the line at the grocery store rolling my ignorant eyes because they had all of their coupons out and ready! But I am also the kind of person that see's something and before I'm done watching it I am already on google with about 9 windows opened up. So when I saw Extreme Couponing with Joanie Demer I had to find out more. After having 2 kids I have become very frugal and hate spending money (which if you knew me a couple of years ago, money was something I use to throw around) so I really wanted to look into couponing. I mean if I'm going to be buying this stuff anyways why in the hell wouldn't I WANT to spend less money or even get it free? So I started couponing, got my binder, organized it, started getting good supplies of coupons and even "dumpster dived" a time or too.

Okay off the subject but dumpster diving is totally funny and makes it fun, plus you don't really get in. You just stand next to it and sort through it. Oh and did I mention it's not a dumpster its a newspaper recycling dumpster. I think that makes a big difference. =)

So yeah I'm a couponer. Damn proud of it! But I have to say I am a little ashamed of myself. I haven't been organizing my time lately, and my coupon binder is the one that has been suffering.

There is sits in my office lonely. I stare at it every once in a while but don't ever give it the time of day.


Well that changed last week! I am officially couponing again and I feel so lazy for not continuing in the first place. I absolutely love it. I went to the store today and am going back to two other stores tomorrow morning. I already have my lists ready to go!

So let's hope tomorrows trip is a breeze...

Just in case you were wondering, here is my receipt from today =)

Not much of a savings but i only went for a couple of things to help myself get back into the swing of things.

Don't laugh! But this is my stock pile so far. I wanted to take pictures of what it looked like from day 1 so I can hopefully take pictures at the end of the year and see where I have gotten.
