My favorite hobby lately has been couponing. It's been tough the last few weeks, but I'm back on my game this week!
I don't use coupons much for groceries, because we don't generally buy much in the way of packaged food, but for toiletries and pharmacy items, it's GREAT!
My first big trip to Walgreens was the best - $200 worth of toiletries and home stuff that we normally use for about $50 out of pocket!
Today, it's a small trip to CVS. $37.73 worth of diapers, diaper rash ointment, dish washing detergent and feminine supplies - after sales and coupons, I'm only going to pay $24 out of my pocket. Oh, and they're having a special on baby stuff so I'll get $5 Extra Care Bucks (like a gift certificate), so it's like actually spending $19.
It's so corny, but it makes me feel evil and diabolical - yet I'm not breaking the law!
Mwahahaha!
