I'm a couponer, and follow a blog that provides guidance on ways to get great deals. I have a coupon binder (which I made after a tragic incident at the grocery store; I spilled the contents of my entire accordion folder all over the floor. Wah!) I save TONS of money. However, I maintain the mindset of if its not something I will actually use, theres no sense in buying it. With this way of thinking, my "stockpile" consists of like...6 tubes of toothpaste and a couple of large packages of papergoods like toilet paper. Additionally, I stock up on canned beans because I use them almost daily. With the savings I earn from couponing, I am able to buy at lots and lots of fresh produce, something I was not able to afford when I first got out of college.

The couponing show is frustrating. They are buying things they don't need or probably even want. It makes things difficult for people like me who are honestly just trying to save a couple of bucks so I can buy apples AND lettuce this week. Cashiers seem to be put off by the process. Its only a matter of time before coupon policies change to prohibit major savings.

Amanda and Derrick,
What an amazing job! I thought there was a mistake when AT listed it as Central Falls. I live in the Bucket myself and am so impressed with how much life and sunshine you've brought into an otherwise depressing area. Props to you!

On another note, leehou doesn't have anything nice to say about anything! What a stick in the mud!

Actually Patrick, I've seen the items on the second slide on etsy. So...

Regardless, I'll be doing some shopping there today.
