Saving Money with Coupons

Last weekend, I was given a coupon for a local craft store that was for today, only between 4-8 pm. It was for 25% off anything and everything in the store. Now while that is not much, I would have bought some of the items anyway, so it was a good deal. I saved $15! Whoo hoo! Of course, they also offered a 40% off one item coupon and I was planning to use both. This one cashier (who is never very nice) said "One coupon per day per customer... and they are very strict on that rule." So my hubby became another customer and bought that item for me... a savings of $7.

There are always ways around it, right!?

Hilary Swank was on Opera or something one time and was asked why she uses coupons (she self reported that she cuts coupons weekly)--- she said something like it was like looking money in the face and flushing it down the toilet.

I need to be better at looking at coupons each week!
