1. hey, good for you!

Makes ya feel good to provision the home on coupons, I know. It's some kind of a primal urge, especially when autumn is on the way. Stock the larders stuff.

5. Nobody here doubles.

But I've been making out like a bandit combining manufacturer and Target coupons, and this week Safeway's running a deal for $5 off $15 worth of frozen food, so I've stocked up on veggie burgers and such. I've been making a point to pick up any pet food and baby deals I find and donate them to the shelter and the food bank, respectively, since I can't use them (I do have cats, but the only food none of them are allergic to never has a coupon. Naturally.)

It's a great way to save money...

I'll spend an hour or so early on Sunday mornings clipping the ones I'll use and/or readjusting my grocery list to better accommodate very good coupon deals, and wind up saving (more often than not) between 45% and 55% on my total bill.

And if someone has to wait in line an extra five minutes or so to wait on me, I imagine they'll learn to spend only twenty minutes looking for the perfect parking spot rather than their usual twenty-five minutes. :P
