I am inspired...COUPONS!!!

Most of y'all know that I went on a vay-kay this July with momma and my son! well for the first week we stayed at my Aunt Kim and Uncle Pat's home in Charleston. Let me tell you my Aunt Kim is amazing she does it all, mom, wife, and homemaker, along with crazy coupon lady. She was seriously a kick in my butt, she did so much and I really learned a lot, but what she did is she bit me with the coupon bug! I did something that I never thought I would ever ever do..... drum roll please... I dumpster dove for Sunday paper coupon inserts, not once, but 3 times, and I scored on my last dumpster and got over 90 Sunday papers each with 4 inserts a piece... it was freakin fantastic... okay so my aunt Kim planted the seed and now I have just been having so much fun, I scored my first deal... I got 29 sticks of deodorant for $10!!! Crazy I saved Like 85% I would have gotten them free but I missed double coupon seriously by only 1 day... oh well. I an so excited for more.

How to coupon- What I have learned!
Step one- dumpster dive for newspapers
Step 2- bring them up 3 flights of stairs

step 3-separate inserts from all the stacks of papers


step 4- stack all inserts, step back marvel and take a picture!!




step 5- separate P&G, RP, RP #2 and SS

Step 6- find a sweet deal and cut the coupon and go get 30 of whatever it is

Step 7- this is my amazing deal with $10 spent on 29 speed sticks!!!! Yeah I'm not a coupon virgin anymore

Thanks so much for inspiring me Aunt Kim
I hope I can be as great at couponing as you!
