So I decided to try my hand at couponing recently and I must say it has been pretty rewarding and a bit obsessive. Especially for someone like me with a "touch" of OCD and a bit of ADD, a smidgen of ADHD and a few others I'd rather not mention at the moment. Well anywhoo - I clipped like crazy and registered for so many online coupon sites I had to create another folder in my inbox to contain all of the adverts I've been getting. It definitely takes time and organization - two things I have oodles of, so I figured "what the heck". Boy was I in for a rude awakening...lol
So, "all or nothin' Nicki", has proclaimed that I shall not purchase any groceries on a major grocery trip, in abundance without coupons (do you hear the stipulations)?
Well, that's because we recently ended up with like 4 boxes of scrumptious Eggo waffles but no syrup because I had no coupon!!! Thus, I have concluded that I must modify my couponing declaration until I get a better mastery of this "craft".
My first very "unorganized" shopping trip saved me a whopping $25 and took over 2 hours - sooooo if you live by the mantra "time is money", in your eyes (and mine at that moment) I would have rather paid full price; but I couldn't quit...I was committed! Next time, I shall relinquish my envelope of coupons for the more trendy alphabetized index card box filing system....anyone gotta coupon for that?
