My New Toy!

Momma got a new toy in the mail!

 Is it a new tote bag?????

Nope, it's a coupon binder!!!!!!!!  It's a sweet tote that unfolds into a binder for my coupons. It has changed my life! Using coupons in the stores is so much more easy and convenient.  No more shuffling through stacks of coupons while people knock you over in the isles.

I am very OCD about it.  Each category is carefully color coded and each coupon has its own slot.  I have sections for each store coupons and a section for my store loyalty cards and a printed copy of each stores coupon policy. (believe me, I've had to bust it out, employees are idiots. Remind me to tell you about the nasty email I sent to Walgreen's corp. office about their idiot manager.)  I have promptly ran out of sleeves for all of my coupons and can't find them anywhere in the stores. I love my binder and proudly sport in everywhere I go!

In other couponing news....I've told at least 5 people in the past month that they are crazy if they spend a dime on toothpaste.  You can always find free toothpaste.  Here is a prime example.

This coupon is like GOLD to me.  Whenever I get one of these, I hoard them like crazy.  This past week, Giant Eagle has had Colgate toothpaste on sale 2/$3.  That means $1.50 each (you don't have to buy 2 to get the deal).  Giant Eagle also doubles coupons up to 99cents.  That means this coupon is worth $1.50.  That makes TOOTHPASTE FREE!!!!!! Which explains why I now have 11 tubes of toothpaste.  Also, Giant Eagle has this deal like every other week, so you can get it all the time. 
Are you only a fan of Crest?  Well you can also get many toothpastes free at CVS and Walgreens if you use their rewards program. I've even gotten their super fancy stuff for free there.  Plus, I think any brand is good when it tastes free!
