Today I kicked myself!

I was thinking today...uh oh right!  After spending the day shopping and getting deal after deal after deal...I stopped for a moment to think about how much money I could have saved if I had been couponing the entire time Craig and I have been married.....than I kicked myself!  We could have saved over $78,000!!!  Why in the world didn't I start this sooner!  I am crazy!  We could have been saving all along instead of putting our blinders on and paying full price for everything.  HELLO.....earth to Sara!  I am so glad that I am on the right track now.  I am so proud when I get to the check out and I hear all that bing bing bing the register makes as they are deducting my coupons from my bill.  Ahhhh the joys of couponing.  I know I know, I sound like a crazy person, but I am excited!  What can I say....I have the coupon fever!  I feel good that I am doing something meaningful for our family.  And that is what it all boils down to right....doing the right thing for your family.  Everyone has their thing, everyone has their contribution to the family unit.  For some it's paying the bills, for some it's yard work, for some it's couponing and laundry!  I do both well and I'm sticking to it!  I can get any stain out of any fabric and I can save hundreds in one day.  The funny thing is that my kids won't be caught dead with me in a store, they call me the crazy coupon lady.  If I am going to the store they say, "please mom, don't make me go!"  LOL  They will be begging me one day to teach them, and I will.
