True to the promise I made to myself,
I did not clip coupons for an entire month. I had more time to sit and
vegetate, read a couple of books, magazines, etc. But what happened most
was, I missed tons of great bargains by not clipping my coupons.
I used the filing method (file uncut
inserts) that many couponers have started using to save time by not clipping,
sorting, and filing individual coupons. But, I found that if I don't see,
clip, and file each coupon, I don't know that I have it. As a result, I
can't mentally match up a sale item with the coupon. Besides that, I
really like clipping, sorting, and filing the coupons. It's like counting
money! Who doesn't like counting money?
I am planning a shopping trip for the
end of this week. Also, this Saturday, Wegman's is having a grand opening
of their new store in Gambrills, MD. Can't wait to see the bargains they
will have.
Finally, I have been teaching several
classes this fall and looking forward to the class I am doing for some parents
at a local elementary school sponsored by their PTSA.
This is an exciting time to
coupon. I love stockpiling comfort foods for those cold wintry days and
nights. Soups and stews and lots of home cooking for the holidays are
perfect for couponing!
Happy Couponing!
