Coupon Queen

Wow. I really need to get better at this blogging thing. I want to really excel at this whole blogging deal, but I haven't blogged in nearly a month! If you have any tips on how to be a better blogger, please let me know.

Okay, well anyway... Recently, like in the past two weeks, I have taken up the hobby of couponing and let me tell you, I am absolutely 100% hardcore hooked. I had been wanting to start couponing for a while now, but I went to the library almost two weeks ago and picked up a book called How To Shop For Free by Kathy Spencer. It has been such a HUGE help with trying to figure out how this whole coupon game works. If you want to start couponing I encourage you to go pick yourself up a copy of this book. Also, I've dedicated my entire bloglovin food to nothing but coupon blogs that post deals, tips, freebies, etc. The coupon sites are also an enormous amount of help because they post the deals that you can get free or cheap and they already match up the coupons that go along with the deal so all you have to do is locate the coupon from the Sunday newspapers or print out the coupon. It is GREAT.

I went on my first couponing adventure last week and it seriously gave me such a high. I got all this for four dollars and eighty five cents! Amazing, I know! I don't have a picture of my other two couponing trips, but I went to Target two different times this weekend to do some couponing as well. The first trip I got three pasta sauces, four boxes of pasta noodles, a three cans of cat food for like maybe 4 dollars. The second trip to Target I got two bottles of fish oil, three cans of cat food, one 3 pack of kcups, and a bottle of hyrdrogen peroxide for around 6 bucks AND I got back a 5 dollar gift card. I found four dollars in my wallet so I think this weekend I'm going to go back to Target and find a coupon deal where I can get a 5 dollar gift card back and spend under 4 dollars! Making money, baby!

If you are thinking about giving couponing a try I strongly encourage you to pick up the book I mentioned, How To Shop For Free, and dedicate one of your blog feeds to only coupon sites.
