I practically got a standing ovation at the store today for how much I saved in coupons!!!The 2 people behind me actually stood in line just to wait and see how much I saved.(they got to talking about my coupons to the people in the line across from me also.....it got kinda funny actually)

Not to mention 2 compliments from people who saw me digging for them while shopping from my coupons pack.

It was nice to be acknowledged instead of treated like a speed-bump for once

This aspect might be a small ray of sunshine in midst of a gloomy economy

GO GIRL! I haven't had many people say great job on your savings. But when it happens it's great!

I LOVE COUPONS TOO!

Waaay to go

I embrassed my granddaughters last week, with my coupons. I had 1 for glade scented candles that I wasn't going to use (I already had used 3) and a lady asked me about the candles. I gave her my coupon for $1 off.

Then we went to get yougurt and I had 6 coupons used 5 and gave the last one to a lady who was also buying fiber one yougurt.

My granddaughters told dh that I was passing out coupons like a "bag lady"

Do you print them off the internet or do you just get them from the paper?
