O.K. I'm obsessed!

So, my latest obsession--coupons! I know--what a dork! I really do have a valid explanation...

Times are hard and we are all feeling the crunch in one way or another. Well, Mark and I have taken a few blows to our income this past year. We looked at the various ways we could cut back and get out of debt. Coupons became an obvious way for us to subsidize our grocery budget. Yes, it takes time clipping and sorting. Yes, I take longer at the grocery store. (The girls always ask me why I have to stop so much.) But it has honestly become exciting for me. Who doesn't love feeling like they got a really great deal? Well, now I get great deals ALL the time. I have discovered a ton of websites that teach you how and where to use coupons. They also give good estimations for how much you're going to pay out of pocket. They tell you lots of different ways to get coupons and freebies. Ok. So that's the last you shall hear about that. I enjoy it and would recommend it to anyone regardless of financial situation.

Lake I am SO INTERESTED in what websites you have been using. I am also obsessed with the coupon cutting but I am in a rut and feel like I always just get the same things. Any advice would be much appreciated. clint.meg.price@gmail.com

Thanks Lake!
