Bad sickness
I have discovered a new addiction that is slowly taking over me. It consumes my thoughts, and when I see it or something relevant to it I get all shakey and excited. I am now addicted to coupon shopping :) My mom has always been an avid coupon shopper. For ten plus years she has been doing it, going to the store and spending less than half on her original order. She is one of those people you would see on Extreme Couponing, but before it was cool and popular! LOL! Rory and I would go make the shopping trips for her when I lived with her, and we DREADED it. I could never understand why she needed 300 packs of toilet paper and 1,000 bottles of laundry soap. To me, it was silly. Now that we live on our own and know the expenses of buying toilet paper once a week I totally get it, and I am totally hopping on the train! A few days ago we found coupons for $2.00 off any 12 pack of Charmin Toilet Paper. So than, we sat on those coupons for a few days waiting for an amazing sale. A 12 pack of Charmin is usually $10.00 and up. Well, once we seen them hit $5.99, we jumped on it! We went and got 40 packs. I bought seven, because in my tiny apartment there is not a lot of room! I spent thirty bucks on 7 12 packs (that is 84 individual rolls!) and a six pack of Bounty Paper Towels which we also got $2.00 of $6.00. Now, thirty bucks is usually what I would spend on two packs of toilet paper and maybe 2 individual rolls of paper towels. I am so excited! My mom and I are going to go atleast once a month and stock up on everything I will need while living in a house. Speaking of house, we applied for our home loan. So excited! My credit came back at about 690 and Rorys is at 615 ( which is great! Considering he started at 430 before my mom helped us clean it all up!) So now we wait! Well, off to the store, we are making toasted Turkey Ranch and Swiss sandwhiches before Rory has to leave for work. Adios!
