Every time I turn on the TV, I see some talk show doing a segment on couponing. I got really inspired by it once before but was too overwhelmed by all the lingo and stacking that I quit before I even started. I'm giving it another go. I haven't totally committed yet - no binder or baseball card pages yet but I have a feeling I'll make the leap this weekend. Last night I went to CVS and Walgreens to pick up a few items I needed. I spent $5.96 on what normally would have cost me $17.09 (that's a savings of $11.13!). Pretty awesome if I do say so myself. The Krazy Coupon Lady website is going to be my lifeline in all this. The only thing that I can see being a problem is that it makes me want to buy stuff that I wouldn't normally purchase so I'll have to be careful about that. The goal is to save money, not spend more!!
The other bandwagon that I have jumped on is using Pinterest and I really wish there was an Android app for this. I know there's one for iPhone already. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's basically a virtual bulletin board. Anytime you're browsing the internet and see a picture of something you want to save or remember you can "pin it" to one of your Pinterest bulletin boards instead of saving the whole page as a favorite. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't know about it the last couple years. It would have been very handy for wedding planning and finding ideas for my classroom......next time, right??
So those two things are going to be much like Fantasy Football and eat up more and more of my free time. At least they're all completely harmless!
