Savvy Saving!

Thinking of a name for this blog was fun! Rarely do I use coins since I just end up dumping my change purse into a big change pail when it gets too heavy. Recently my partner and I went to the store, each with a $20 bill in hand. Her total after coupons was 93 cents! She looked at me as if saying "now what? do I pay with a $20 knowing that you have change in your heavy bag?" I read her mind and dug into my bag for my change purse. It was then that I realized I had underestimated myself. Afterall why did we both have $20's - shouldn't I have challenged myself more and had us both carry $5 or maybe $10? It was then that I realized I can pay for food just using my change purse. I'll save my bills for trips and nice dinners out.
I have always used coupons and enjoyed the feeling of getting a great deal. Now it is pure joy to get something for free. Enjoying the preparation time is a big part of it. My passions include paper, dividers, color coded sections, compartments in binders, stickers, etc... COUPONING is right up my alley. My binder is a collection of all of my passions with coupons as an added bonus. Sitting down with a cup of coffee and going thru the circulars for the week is a relaxing time that I look forward too. Each week is different so it is as if I am opening gifts every week. The idea of what may be on sale verses what I have coupons for gets my heart beating fast. I am aware that it sounds silly to say but you will see. Try it once, save a whole bunch of money and then tell me you didn't get the same feeling. lol.
The more I look around, the more I see that younger singles, couples, families are couponing. It seems like the cool thing to do!! lol Getting started is the first step and trust me there are so many avenues in which to get coupons. Afterall there is a world to travel, passions to explore, and dreams to fulfill. Using coupons allows me to save money and fulfill those dreams!
