Couponing Has Taken Over My Life.

Here on island some of the military ladies have started a group call the Coupon Queens of Okinawa.  It is awesome.  We have a facebook page where we tell each other what deals we have found, where and what coupons to use.  We send each other coupons, (there is a list that you can put up to tell people what types of products you use).    When you are stationed over seas the military stores take coupons that expire 6 months after the actual expiration date.  Of course we dont' get too many papers to get coupons from, so most of them we get from people who have put them in a box and sent them to the family and airmen readiness centers.   (if you want to send some, please let me know, I'll take whatever you have and spread the love around.) 

Anyway, so this week I have started to stock up on items that we have been getting low on.  I have saved almost 200 bucks in coupons.  It feels great!!!  I try to be frugal, I mean I have 4 kids to feed, cloth,etc.   But  I truly love doing coupons.  So I find myself looking up sites, checking out what sales are going, etc.   So I guess in a way couponing has taken over my life. :)  Not completely though, so that is good.  Mostly at night when the kids are in bed and I get to sit and watch a movie.
