Coupon Update.

I just wanted to let you know (because I know you're super interested) how I did with my coupons last week.  I scored!  It took me a couple of hours to peruse all the flyers for the stores in our area but I did it.  I comparison shopped and checked for good sales and made sure I had the coupons to match.
Here's my pile for this week:

I'm not going to clear the shelves or hoard inordinate amounts of stuff.  I'll just buy things I need and use.  I never used to check the ads before shopping.  Once I started I couldn't get over how much money I was wasting by just throwing things in my shopping cart without looking at the prices. Shameful, really.



Imagine my excitement when perusing the foreign food aisle I came upon these:

Tim Tams!  And they were on sale!!!  A real Australian delicacy!  Yum!
Happy shopping, mates.

Extreme Couponing, Loyalist Cottage Edition.

I've noticed lately that some of my bloggy friends are getting into couponing in a big way.  You know, clipping coupons, watching the store flyers for sales and cashing in on some great deals.  As I've told you before, I'm a follower so I decided to check this out.  It turns out that couponing could be a full time job.  I poured over web sites and downloaded coupons for what seemed like hours.

Coupons in hand I dragged invited Mr LC along for the expedition.  I was so excited as I trolled through the store looking for my bargains.  I told Mr LC he was going to have to build some shelves to hold all of the stash we were going to collect.  This would be great now that we are destitute pensioners.

I can't wait to show you my stash.  Wait for it.......

What, do I hear laughter at my one and only stash item!?  People, behave.
