Hello Neighbor!

My family pokes fun at me because I won’t go shopping without searching for coupons. I make a point of telling them just how much I save each time I employ said coupons. And yet they still poke fun. I’m obsessed with never paying full price for clothing or shoes or pretty much anything but groceries. I don’t clip grocery coupons, that’s way too tedious.

Here’s the thing. I’m not cheap I’m frugal. There’s a difference. I’ll spend money on quality items but I do my research and if I can find a coupon I’ll use it. I won’t even enter a Bed, Bath & Beyond without multiple coupons. When I moved my daughter into her first apartment we drove about twenty minutes to the BB&B. As we were getting out of the car I looked for my coveted “20% off Total Purchase” coupon I had been saving for this specific shopping event. I couldn’t find it and started freaking out. I made us drive all the way back to her apartment to find it. She thought I was crazy – and maybe I am just a little – but I saved about $120 on that particular haul.

You may not be the type to clip coupons or search for coupon codes while shopping online and I get it, you’re busy. But who doesn’t like to save a few bucks? And now with technology, it’s a no-brainer! There are two super easy tools to help you save money from the comfort of your home computer, in your PJs, with a glass of wine. Sounds fun right? WikiBuy and Honey are must haves! These money saving extensions are available for many web browsers. If that’s gibberish to you, just click the links and follow the instructions. You can easily install them (basically a few clicks) and they work in the background while you’re shopping online. They find the best coupons and apply the discount codes to your cart. Easy peasy!

If I calculate all of the money I’ve saved my family over the past 21 years I could probably take us all to Hawaii for a few weeks, first class!
