Do you ever get in line behind someone that has so many coupons that people glare and it holds up the line. Sorry, that's me! I once had a checker tell me not to get in line behind people that use the WIC vouchers because they take a lot of time, hey my coupons hold up the line too - whatever!
I am actually very proud of my coupon skills. For Christmas this past year Dave bought me a really cool coupon organizer that allows me to separate my coupons by category. (I know OCD) But, hey proud to say that I save somewhere between $25.00 and $50.00 dollars a month using my coupons, maybe more. Last week alone, I saved $12.30 at the grocery store, $12.45 at Walmart, $10.00 at JC Penny, $6.00 at Costco, and only $.75 at Target. That's $41.60. Holy cow that is a lot of money. This doesn't even count what I saved from items that were on sale!
We get the newspaper for Merced and Modesto so on the weekends I go through the coupon ads and clip only coupons for products that I would buy on a regular basis. I file them away in my cute little organizer and go through them when I make my shopping lists. I get so mad when I let one expire without using it! I do try to shop when the store is not going to be very busy so I don't hold up lines too bad. I always have so many coupons at the grocery store that they have to call a manager to approve my transaction!
Glare at me all you want people behind me - I'm saving money!
