More Than Monopoly Money

Lately I've been trying to change my way of thinking.
Instead of shoving coupons into the bottom of my purse
or stashing them in a drawer.
I savor them.
Treat them special.
Like it was "paper money".
Because really, if I'm smart about them,
they will make my dollar bills stretch farther, longer!

Even on Saturday I was stoked to save $42 for my 2 week grocery trip.
And then this morning my sister called with a celebration of saving over $60.
The manager was called over to her checkout
and had to override the transaction!
I love it!

So with my paper money burning wholes in my pocket
I tried again and headed out to CVS and Walgreens.

I got these 3 boxes of cereal for $2.64 (including tax).

THEN at the next store...

I got ALL of THIS!!
For this...

Technically with just purchasing the 2 shavers and
2 lg bottles of sunscreen I should have spent $40.

How could you not keep these coupons under LOCK and KEY?
