Couponing...my newest addiction

You should have seen the look on Ben's face last month when I told him we would now be getting not 1 but 5 Sunday papers. I think he thought I was crazy. I have always used coupons, but never realized that there was such a system to it! Now, a little over a month later, he thinks it is pure genius as he has watched the grocery budget drop $200 in a month and has seen my stockpile arsenal in all the closets. I think it is fun to basically be paid to use a product! Now, I won't "buy" shampoo, razors, toothpaste, or other tolietries unless I get them for free. Saturday is triple coupon day in Roy and you had better believe I will be there at 6 am ready for a deal! Today I picked up 7 packages of free organic sausage with my coupons. What took me so long!

Sweet! I took a quick, unexpected trip to Vernal yesterday, and while I was out there I was telling my brother and sister-in-law all about the art of couponing. Seriously - they had no clue how to use a coupon. They asked if the store scanned it or just typed it in or what. They were clueless. How silly. Hmmm... wanna make a "girls day" out of going to Roy on Saturday?

Since, you didn't respond to Cheryl's tag, I tagged you too... Are you too busy coupon clipping to keep us updated on what else is happening??
