Couponing

Couponing...that's right, it's a verb now. After a seminar at church, a bunch of my friends and I have started "couponing". It may sound silly, but it is quite complicated and involved. There are charts, fliers, binders filled with baseball card holders, and hours of clipping, analyzing, planning, and finally shopping. We aren't sure yet if this is going to pay off, but at first report I saved $55 and paid $120...not too bad my first time out. And although the night of clipping coupons with the girls wasn't all for fun, it was nice to have a night to sit and chat while we scoured the newpapers. I wonder if someday I will look back at this time in my life and laugh that I got so excited to find a coupon for a free loaf of bread? But for now that was pretty exciting. So that you can get a full picture of how involved this is, I will show you my binder of coupons...as nerdy as it is!!
