OK, So Couponing Does Pay Off!

OK, So today I had to go grocery shopping, and even though I have been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by all the couponing, I looked through the coupons I had and used what I could and I ended up saving about $100!! So yeah it does pay off, if you have PATIENCE!! And can figure out how to do a list with your coupons and store sales to where you won't have to pay much! It is so overwhelming though and I've only been doing it less than a month and am already feeling frustrated. But I did do good and saved $100 today! I even got register rewards at walgreens and got a surprise $5.00 gift card at target. Did you know that right now if you buy any 2 Physician's Formula items you will get a $5.00 gift card free? And I had coupons to buy one mineral wear powder and get one free so I got 2 mineral wear powders, then I got a mood blush and I had $1.00 off coupon on the blush and on the mineral wear powder, then got one powder free, plus the $5.00 back gift card!!! Whooooo Hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! All because I got birthday money and wanted some Physician's Formula makeup!!!!!!!! Oh and Target finally had some Nivea body wash in and I was able to get three of them all $2.00 off each!!!! And they had some other good sales as always. It can be frustrating trying to figure it all out, but I guess it does pay off in the end.

Deals For Today!

So here are the deals for today. First let me say I am EXHAUSTED!! I know that sounds crazy to some people who love to shop. I don't really love to shop, I do it because I feel like we will run out of things or starve if I don't shop with coupons. That being said my stupid diease is acting up. I just don't feel good today, I am going to lay down after this post. I feel so faint and sick to my stomach, but on a worse scale than you could imagine if that makes any sense. I feel like I'm ready for the ambulance to come and carry away to the ER. I know that's a bit drastic, but that's how bad I feel right now, this disease is just trying and annoying.
