1. pull out the coupon inserts
2. collate the inserts
3. staple the coupons
4. cut the coupons
5. seperate the coupons into stacks
6. put the coupons away in my binder
i've done coupons for almost 4 years. i cannot imagine life without. it's become a game. a rush. am i addicted? maybe. most of what you see was free, or almost free. who benefits...my family, my kids school classes, my neighbors, my ward members, my parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents.....and the list goes on.
safeway is currently having an amazing deal. "buy 25 participating items, get $20 off your next order." my first order i paid $16, and got a $20 off my next order coupon. my next order was $17, grab a magazine to make it over $20, and end up paying $1. this has been done again and again and again. out of pocket i've paid $33, and have saved over $600. friday night from 7:30pm-12:30am was spent at safeway (the result shown in the above 2 pics, minus freezer items), 12:45am-2:30am was spent organizing my purchaseS for a morning suprise ;) for the fam. so you tell me...isn't doing coupons WAY worth it!?!?! ps. you haven't even seen my freezerS (i have 3).
