I said I had an addictive personality...

And I was not joking when I said I have an addictive personality...
So several months ago, I started TRYING to coupon. And I did a couple of CVS and Wal-Green trips in one day and that about did me in. It was my first big "haul" as a couponer and although I did good, I was disappointed in myself. And I guess because I was disappointed in myself, I lost most of the interest after that. I was still couponing some, but I was not as pumped about it as I was or needed to be. I am today though. I have been slowly getting back into it. And my addictive behavior kicks in sometimes. I could potentially see myself having one of those "crazy" extreme couponing rooms. I currently have a whole Vera Bradley box full of something I purchased this last weekend.  In my defense, however, it is something I use quite often. And I am directing it all at our move to Memphis in June. I am trying to stockpile so that it is less stuff we have to buy during the 2 years that we will be on a limited income while Jeremy is in school. On another note, I also have a huge addiction to dish detergent. I currently have 12 bottles of it in my closet. And that's nothing compared to those people on Extreme Couponing, but I am nonetheless proud of it.


Today is Wednesday and that means CVS and Wal-Greens ads came out. Can we say EXCITEMENT? That made me feel pathetic and old. But I was ecstatic because I just purchased some $3 off coupons from ebay in hopes that they would run a good sale on it somewhere soon. And they are!!!! YAY for me, actually, YAY for Jeremy because it's something he uses.



And like I said in my about me blog, I am unorganized. So that makes couponing a little more difficult. Some of you very organized people would faint at the site of where my coupons are currently being stored or how they are being stored. In an attempt to change this, I purchased  a set of clear plastic coupon organizers from ebay. I CANNOT wait to try this out. I hope I stick with it. I am ADD when it comes to things and I really need to learn to keep it all together if I am going to be a preacher's wife.

Next, I am slowly becoming terribly addicted to Pinterest. And I say this in a couponing blog because I ran across a good blog where a lady is talking about her VERY organized coupon binder. I am going to give it a try. It looks awesome!

I guess that is all for my rant on couponing...I am sure I will talk more about it later!
