Couponing is hard. At least for me. I am horrible at math and here I am
trying to figure out the best deals. Why didn't they teach this stuff in
school?! Okay, better question: why didn't they teach this stuff in
school in a way that was realistic to what people would use? I would
have enjoyed tutoring and math class a LOT more.
Who knew that the check-out "beep" would be so frightening? Or havng a line behind you? Or that so many people judged couponers? Or that there were so many couponers?! And that you have to be at the store FIRST thing in order to get the good deals or people clear the shelves!
I am going to attempt to have a coupoing class. I figure I will open it up to the foster parents I work with and community members. Hopefully I won't make a fool of myself trying to teach others how to do math. I do have a pretty good grasp on the concept of couponing and all the ways you can save money. I have even applied it pretty well. Now, if I can just stay on top of it.
Two things on my couponing to-do list: gather a list of places that have newspaper recycle bins (so I can get free coupons!) and a list of "needs" from a few community places that need items for their clients.
What kind of successes have you had with couponing? How do you feel about it?
Stay tuned for more couponing updates!
