To Coupon or Not to Coupon

I already regret not taking a photo today. It’s what all good coupon ladies do when they save a bundle. I always feel slightly embarrassed for them when I see their whole load of groceries laying out there for everyone to see. It sort of makes me feel like a nosy grocery clerk. You know, the one that comments on everything on the conveyor belt? My blood’s already boiling just thinking of it. So with that in mind, I chose not to photograph my big load today. But now that I’ve tallied up the earnings, I really wish I had a picture to prove it. It’s like a rite of passage for a brand-new couponer to have a photo to show the goods. You’ll just have to take my word for what I bought.

If someone asks me if I sew, I can’t really answer “yes”. But I do, on occasion, do a random sewing project. The latest project to have taken over my kitchen is a bunch of travel crayon pouches.

People often ask me how I do everything I do. Usually, I answer with something silly, like, “I don’t sleep much,” “I never watch TV,” or “My house doesn’t stay very clean.” But really, I get plenty of sleep, and while I don’t watch much TV at all, my house is relatively clean and neat most of the time. While I was talking with a friend this week, I realized how indeed I do fit everything in.
