so i haven't been much of a coupon junkie in the past, but my friend introduced me to the "grocery game" a while back and i tried it and loved it. then i kind of let it go. but here and there i'll find some of my coupons and i'll use them. one day last week i had some that i didn't have with me when i went shopping, so i took them back in to get my money back. i ended up getting $9 back. i told shayla how cool it was to shop with coupons and kyra said, "that's weird."
then yesterday i was cleaning out my car and found a ton of coupons that were ready to expire. and they were for things i needed or would need soon too. i was actually on my way to the grocery store anyway, so i used those and in addition to the $15 i saved on store sales, i saved $16 just in coupons. i was pretty proud of myself. so i guess i'm officially a "coupon nerd". oh, and i had a $10 gift card from dsw and my coupons for places for having a birthday, all of which expired yesterday, including a $5 one from dsw. and dsw is already discounted, so after their discount and my $25 off, i bought a $55 pair of shoes for $25. wow, my life needs something if coupons are getting me this excited.
