I love shopping. But, I love getting a good deal EVEN more! I get so excited when I see a sale rack, or if I know that there is a sale going on before I get there. I seriously get a high from saving money! Better than drugs, much cheaper...well maybe. I also get a nervous stomach...I know isn't that crazy? My body reacts to the excitement in that way!
I go to all the clearance aisles first like a hound dog sniffing out their prey! I am like a rabid beast foaming at the mouth snarling at anyone who is near me(maybe that is why people back away)grabbing at whatever I can find.
I used to like grocery shopping because our store let their customers use expired coupons. Two months ago they put up a sign saying that they were NOT going to accept expired coupons. I was devastated. I'm not kidding, I was so upset. I had to throw out so many coupons! I was used to saving up to $20.00 with all my coupons. I have to start over and now watch all the expiration dates...that is a chore in itself.
They expire so soon...I have pressure now to spend more to use the coupon before it expires! I am spending more money using coupons! What a concept!
Now I am very into Freecycle (freecycle.org)! Everything is free! I love this site, I can get rid of stuff and buy MORE stuff!! Hubby can't complain...cuz it's FREE baby!!
Our local store takes expired coupons too!! I love it. I'm going to have to check out that website you listed. Sounds interesting:) Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get it together enough to use coupons. : )
ReplyDeleteKristin- It is sooo easy and you save so much money!
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is books-- can't pass a remainder table in a bookstore or a yard sale without buying something-- I know I should use coupons more but.... oh well:-)

ReplyDeletei dont know where you live...but if youre talking about jewel, and you live in the same city i do, you should know that food 4 less takes expired coupons up to 6 months! and dominicks takes them up to a year expired...sometimes even longer, they dont really check or care.
