While many many people Sleep in on Sunday mornings until 11 am, I don't; I head to the stores!
I then head home, and cut coupons that I definitely want, and throw away the rest & file the coupons in a coupon binder that I have. (I will have that in another post if anyone shows interest in that)
Then I turn my attention to the sale fliers.
I circle, with a sharpie, everything in all the ads that I am interested in getting... regardless if two ads or more have the same item circled... then I go thru my coupons and see what coupons will go along with the items that I will buy anyway, and write them in pen on the ad.. and then I type or write out a final list of the Item and new price I will be paying after coupons and sale prices... for example:
Kraft Salad dressing- on sale $2.00 <-$50cent coupon>= $1.50 final price
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now some people may thing this is a waste of time, but time is money to me... and If I am spending money on stuff I need anyway not spend as least amount of my hard earned cash as possible?? so, to me I am a business major and I would any day rather use a couple hours or more matching up ads, sales and coupons any day!!! Plus it is fun, its like a mind game and I want to search to find the cheapest price anywhere i can and will!!! I love to do this and I usually after matching it all up then make a list for where to go when, like if im at school Monday Wednesday and Friday til 5pm, I make it so that I am on that side of town anyway so to save a trip I will go to those stores on those days instead of driving every which way and wasting gas.
There is so much more I can go on and on and on about to do with stores, couponing and deals but I will save that for many more separate posts to explain it in detail if anyone is interested just ask!!!:)
To wrap this up..this is the best way I can see to spend part of my Sunday and hope everyone else has just as great of a Sunday!!!!!!
