There are many things that I inherited from my mother: my looks, my ability to ask a million unnecessary questions, uterine fibroids, and the love of SAVING SOME MONEY. Yah-uhhh!!!
I am devoting today's post to the joy of coupon clipping. Call me an old lady, call me a cheap skate, call me what you will, but I just saved $8 at the Teet (my affectionate name for Harris Teeter) and you didn't so, HA!
The Sunday newspaper is a coupon clipper's delight. Pulling out the innards of the newspaper to find 2 (or maybe 3 on a good week) sections of coupons is like buying a lottery ticket that you know will at least be worth what you paid for it. At first my husband was surprised by my thrifty ways, but he has stepped into the light and has even been known to whip a few out to the cashier himself from time to time. Before going to by cat food or cereal, we must have our coupons in hand.
Perhaps I'll make some later posts with my tips on how to be successful at this task, but for now I just wanted to get off my chest that I love saving money even if it's $0.35 at a time. The feeling of watching your grocery total diminish by 10% or more is so rewarding and fun. The best part about our grocery store is that they will double coupons up to $0.99 which is great! Sometimes I'll have a coupon for $0.75 off of something and then at the register it really subtracts $1.50 which is a lot considering the item may only be 2 or 3 dollars to begin with. I promise if you get this rush of quickly saving money, you'll never, EVER, go back to paying full price!
