Couponing
« on: February 02, 2010, 12:03:38 PM »
Wasn't sure where to post this...  Maybe we need to start a new thread?

Are any of you ladies who use coupons interested in trading?  I would love to do this locally, rather than online, as much as possible.  I get a couple Sunday papers each week, some coupon books, and anything else I can find.  So I always have lots of extras that I don't use.  I'd rather give these to someone than let them expire, but trades would be great!!

And if you have any tips or deals, please share!

I am a coupon clipper, but I am not sure that I am quite organized enough to swap them...
I am sarcastic and have a smart ass attitude.  It's a natural defense against drama, bullshit, and stupidity...

i find the best coupon ever is to flirt your way into a discount.

like me for example.... with my heat activated hair, 780 fico score, and colgate smile....

i've saved tons of $$$$ that way :D

and if youre a chick..... just show a little more b*****s and thighs so you can save on those couple lbs of chicken breasts, and thighs!

Just to show how much couponing works, here's my numbers for the 2010 year so far:

Spent $1531.81
Value $3589.58
Saved $2057.77 (57%)

This is including everything I've purchased this year (food, toiletries, clothes, newspapers, beer, household, DVDs - EVERYTHING)
