Crazy Coupon Clipper...

I have intended to write this post for quite some time now.  Today I did something (read on to find out) that inspired me to get it done.

About 3 months ago, I gave up shopping at Wal-Mart.  I talked to several people about shopping at Kroger and I just decided I would save more money and have a more pleasant shopping experience if I made the switch.  I must say, that has definitely proved to be the truth.  I have saved quite a bit of money and I feel like we are eating better and I am even cooking more.  I have been watching the weekly sale paper put out by Kroger and I have become a crazy coupon clipper.  Although I know I could be doing even more in the coupon world.  I'm building up to it.

So, what did I do today that inspired me to write this post?  I purchased my first coupon organizer.  YAY ME!  Okay, so yes, I'm a big geek.  To say I am excited about this purchase is truly an understatement.  I have been researching coupon organizers online and finally found something that made sense to me and I thought would work, not only now, but in the future as the number of coupons I clip increases.

I purchased the Deluxe Coupon Organizer from Coupons With Style.  This lady only sells on etsy right now and she makes these organizers herself.  I also sell my PbyP stuff on etsy and I love buying from others on etsy.  I know it's a lot of stay-at-home folks just trying to make ends meet or make a dollar or two from a hobby they enjoy.  Makes me feel good to know I'm helping someone out.  When I get the organizer, I'll try and remember to do another post.  I know you are going to be anxiously waiting.  (o:
