I have only been couponing for two weeks now and it has already paid WAY off. Last week at Smith's I got 26 lbs of FREE pasta - no purchase or money forked out. FREE.FREE.FREE! I never knew this was possible. I had heard of couponing like this, but I thought it was folklore. I never really thought I could actually get stuff for free without getting arrested.
Well to tell you honestly that first "extreme couponing" venture made me addicted. It was an amazing feeling to get such an unbelievable deal with so little effort. Then and there I crossed a line, a line I could never cross back over; I was hooked.
I told my husband the other day that with the amount I am saving our family a week, it's as if I am working a part time job. Seriously. At first I saved, eh? 53 percent. Which is great, but it seems that each time I do it I am getting better and better. So i guess I am writting this to tell all you out there this:
The first time is scary. I was so stressed and freaked out my first time. But each time you will get better and better. You will start figuring out what's a good deal, and what's not. And dont beat yourself up when you dont get the best deal - you are still doing better than most people out there!
