I want to show you am awesome shopping trip from a newer couponer! I really, really, loved her email, because I can’t tell you how often people roll their eyes at me about coupons.
It isn’t about the coupons for me anymore. It is about the confidence that it has given me, that I can take care of my family and have some left over for other things. That is what it is about!
From Dee Anne ( who drove 2 hours for a class, each way!):
Even though it was a very long 2 hour drive, each way, it was definitely worth the trip. Let me start by saying that my mom and sister laughed at and mocked me for several days about attending an “extreme couponing” class. After organizing my new binder until midnight and having extreme difficulty loading Java to several computers for internet coupon printing, I finally got everything organized and decided to go on a Target coupon adventure today, and took my sister with me. I took your Target Weekly Deals and Coupon Match Ups scenarios and headed out with coupons in hand.
My total purchase was $17.29, but after Target and manufacturer’s coupons I only paid $1.22. 3 boxes of Bounce dryer sheets, 2 boxes of Poise, 2 packages of Knorr Rice blend, and 1 Benadryl itch stick. YAY!!!
I know it’s probably a little baby purchase to the experienced couponers, but it’s a very big confidence builder for me. I’m so excited about getting ready for another shopping trip tomorrow! Thank you for sharing all your secrets.
