I may need intervention...

Oh my goodness!! Can I just tell you that I am using what I learned at the coupon class and I think I have a problem. I mean, I know I have always loved a deal, but this...mmmmmm. This is sweet. I mean suuweeeat. Since the class I have been to Publix twice and each time I have saved 50%. Fifty per cent!! I haven't even been able to throw my last receipt away yet. It's sick. My total was $20 and after my deals and coupons, I payed half that!!! Woooo!

So we took some books back to the liberry (a little something for you-know-who-you-are) and I decided to give Rite-Aid a try since it was right there close by. Because, you know, the first rule of Mommydom - no doubling back and there has to be more than one reason/stop or you're wasting a trip. I don't care if you have one kid or ten. It applies. And the first rule can be actually two rules combined because we're moms and we reserve the right to do pretty much anything we want. You know, because we're moms.
*Pause for ADD meds*
Okay, so anyhoo...I went in, bought the stuff on my list - things that I actually use, and as soon as I enter my receipt at their website they are going to send me a check for 30.46. I ONLY SPENT !(>@)!! Oh sorry, forgot to let off the shift key - 19.20!!! They are paying me 11.26 to buy things that I use!! Whaaaaat!! I know!

So I was stuck in a lot of traffic, I mean a LOT of traffic because of "the game" ( I live halfway between downtown B'ham, Hoover, and Tuscaloosa - there's only one game) and nothing could get me down. I was on a coupon high.

Girl~you've got the fever! I used to do the ECB at CVS and I would be on a coupon high! We went to the library this morning too.

Oh my gosh! I was just telling some girls tonight about how I feel like I'm on a high when I get a good deal!
