I think it's been like 3 days since I've talked about coupons...
and in case you are wondering... YES... I am still clipping...
but you'll be happy to know that my current addiction of the month is getting better...
as in... it's becoming less time consuming... and less expensive.
I have found a way to get more coupons...
for FREE... which means... I won't be shelling out big bucks for my weekly newspaper fix any longer...
The only problem is...
every once in a while a highly valuable coupon gets clipped by the person who gave me the free coupon packet... like this one for instance... it was for $1 off any Tide product... now... I don't buy tide... it's to expensive... but when there is a $1 off coupon for ANY TIDE PRODUCT... that means 1 free package of tide from the travel section... (The travel section Tide costs .97 cents... the coupon is for $1.00 which means free tide for me)
Bummer...
She even took the $1 off coupon for any Revlon tool...
I could of picked up a free pair of tweezers or fingernail clippers with that one...
But clever as she was... she did not clip the pasta coupon...
This .75 cent coupon combined with a "doubler" = free pasta for Mavis
She took the tortilla coupon...
But not the toothpaste... Again... this coupon combined with a doubler will score me (or someone on my Christmas list) a free tube of toothpaste...
So what did Mavis buy with her coupons today?
All this...
For a whopping .58 cents
Ohhh... and I pocketed a dime...
Someone who shall remain nameless...
left it laying around...
and I found it...
and dropped it in the piggy bank.
So yep... that's my exciting post for the day...

And another thing...
Mr. H...
I will keep the free seeds safe in the frig until April Fools Day.
...next to the free cheese of course.
This has been Mavis...
reporting live...
from the coupon clipping floor.
Way to go Mavis! You have not slowed down much .. are you able to store all of your loot? You must have your own little Fred Meyer's store in your garage (LoL)
ReplyDeleteIn case I haven't told you lately...YOU ROCK!!!! You must be getting closer & closer to your Italian vaca with the free cans and spare change you're finding. Your enthuiasm energizes me. Happy clipping =)
ReplyDeleteI ADORE YOU AND YOUR BLOG! :D You just seem so organized! And I LOVE the way you write, your humor is very similar to mine and my friends'.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of your goals! And thank you for writing :)
Mrs. Mac... I'm thinking my new plan is to hoard as much free stuff as possible them when garden season hits and I'm out there working 24/7 I can take a break from couponing and just grow veggies...of course I say that now... we shall see :0
ReplyDeleteKathy... and happy clipping back at you... and FYI I found another penny on the ground today and a discard can as I was walking out the the car :)
MissGracie...Yes, I'm super organized... a symptom of my self diagnosed OCD... hey... it has it's perks! And thanks for the well wishes on my goals... everyone should have goals... and a rather large black sharpie pen to mark them off as they are achieved. Have a great day!
So tell me, are you going to put that sunchip bag in your compost pile?
ReplyDeleteI love hearing your about your coupon clipping. What store do you go to to use double coupons? I dont think I have any stores in my area that do that :(
ReplyDeleteMr. H... I am VERY AFRAID to open the french fry jars...
ReplyDeleteTiffany... Albertsons... but they don't double coupons all the time... maybe every other week or so... which makes it even more exciting :)
