Super Duper Coupon Clipper!

Yup, I'm the girl with the STACK of coupons at the register.

Don't hate.

Just for you Jess- since you called me a dork for making a trip to Walgreens tonight before my coupons expired. Let me show ya'll what I got for less than 50 bucks!

• Walgreens brand spray sunscreen - buy one get one = 2 for $7.99
• Gillette Fusion Shave Cream - 2 for $5 plus a manufacturer coupon for $1 off = 2 for $4
• Walgreens Isopropyl Alcohol - Walgreens coupon for 99 cents
• Trident Gum - 2 packs on sale for 79 cents each
• The Blind Side on dvd - Walgreens coupon for $16.99 (My Grandma's bday gift - she loves Sandra Bullock!)
• Chex Mix - buy one get one, plus a manufacturer coupon for $1 off! = 2 for $1.99!!!!
• Folgers Coffee - on sale for $5.99, plus a manufacturer coupon for 55 cents off
• Kiss press on nails for my Mommy to try - Manufacturer coupon for $2.00 off = $3.79

Grand Total = 12 items for $47.03

That's like $3.92 per item!

I'm usually pretty good about keeping a steady stash of coupons, but I've decided recently that I'm going to try and be a little bit better about not letting them expire. I've started following more bargain blogs and I'm going to try and plan my shopping trips in advance so I can utilize most of my coupons. It takes a little bit of extra time, but it's worth it. Today I was on Walgreens.com and happened to browse through their weekly ad. They have a nifty button that allows you to click on the items you would buy, and add them to your "weekly shopping list". I did this, and then printed it out. Before I left, I went through my stack of coupons and grabbed all of the manufacturer coupons I had for the items on my list, and off I went. I saved $28.70 by planning ahead! Definitely worth it, don't you think???

Oh boy, I've become a hypocrite!

For years I have made fun of Uggs (or anything of the sort) but this year, I do believe I have somewhat changed my mind. *gasp* Evidence? I just purchased THESE!

So what if it doesn't really get cold down here. We still get like 2 days out of the year when it's about 30 degrees. One day I can wear my brown cowboy boots and the other day I can wear these!!! They keep catching my eye everywhere! I couldn't resist! They were only $30 on Overstock.com!!! That's my rationale. They are warm, comfy, and cheap. Sounds good, right?

I do vow to never wear them with hoochie shorts like the rest of the bimbos here in South Florida though. I promise.
