Call for coupons

I have to promise my husband that I'll quit talking about coupons in this blog ("it's the boys blog!" he says), but I thought it would be the easiest way to make a request. This week's bounty was to get all of this (well, take out the twin pack of contact solution that cost me $9.99) for $1.22.



Yes! $1.22! Granted, there was a $4 store error in my favor, but still. Not bad. I made a couple other trips as well, but don't have any photographic proof of my success.

My goal is to also get better about scoring free stuff like my friend Taryn, so that I can (like her) donate it to people in need. Anyway, to do so, I need more coupons and from papers with larger circulation. I never knew that the weekly Sunday inserts that seem the same are actually quite different. For example, the inserts in The State newspaper out of Columbia, SC, offer nearly twice the coupons that I get in The Post & Courier here in Charleston. I've long wanted to see what I could get in a large-city newspaper. And unfortunately, I cannot find anywhere that I can buy any of these papers in Charleston.

So anyway, if you do not want to use your coupons and you just throw them out, I will pay you the shipping to send them to me! Maybe every two weeks or something? I never know who is reading this thing, but if any of you out there have any you want to pass along, just let me know and we'll try to work something out. I can't help it. I'm obsessed (Thanks Taryn!). :)

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled blog now.
