Today we are participating in WFMW with our good friends at www.rocksinmydryer.net . We are to blog about something that doesn’t work for us!
I know some of you are here as a result of my BFF Jenny from momminitup, pimping me out. If you have never been to her blog, it is a must read. She is a master at……all yall out there who know her know exactly what I am talking about…..COUPONING! She amazes me. She has enough free stuff at her house to start her own store. Well, I hate to burst some bubbles especially sweet Bethany who was kind enough to have a cuponing class for all of us, but I CAN’T COUPON!!! I am not kidding. It freaks me out. Pleeeeeaasse tell me there is some other freak out there. I hate standing alone. I have tried, God knows (Jenny too!) I’ve tried. If fries my brain or something. I spend hours clipping and sorting, and making a list and checking it twice. By the time I’m finished I don’t have enough time, much less energy, to get my butt to the store. When Jenny came over for Bible study and saw that my Sunday paper was still on the porch, she was concerned. I had to then confess to her that I had a whole pile of papers tucked in the bookshelves of my office. She was very disappointed. Being the BFF that she is, she quickly came up with a brilliant solution:
I use a site that will tell me exactly where the coupon is and what the best store is to use it at. It is called The Grocery Game. Jenny told me to file the ads whole (like in a fan file) until I print and highlight the items from The Grocery Game that I want to buy. Then I can get my dd Krisha to cut out the coupons on the list before I go to each store. Brilliant! She never ceases to amaze me. I know it will work. If I would just do it….the paper pile is starting to take over my office. Argh! Couponing just doesn’t work for me.
