Krazy Mi

I been driving my minivan around for about two weeks or so. My stepdad is sorta cute. He has the key to my car and I would go in and he would attached a mirror for me, or he would put an extra padding on the seat. It's sad to say this... but, I have finally gotten over the embarrassment of driving a minivan. I mean, yeah, people still crack jokes to me. Recently, my coworker (who is 42 years old), was outside. I was driving past her and she tells me to roll down my window. She says one comment.. "You look the same age as me!" I just laughed it off, but secretly it hurt a little. I think my best thing about me and the worst is that I am not sensitive. This is where my sarcasm starts. Neways, back to my point, the minivan is starting to grow on me. I am still not comfortable parking next to other cars. Exercise is good anyways. Who doesn't need to burn some extra calories? So what does a girl with a minivan really do?

START COUPONING!!

Yes, I have entered a world that I didn't think I would. I first got inspired with Esther Lee. She keeps referring everybody to go to thekrazycouponlady.com. Honestly, it looks jibberish and I couldn't understand why people would coupon. The other day I was at Target and this lady had a whole cart of stuff. I stood behind her, knowing that her transaction was going to take a long time, but too lazy to move. She gave a whole bunch of coupons at the end and her total went down by $40! That's so crazy. I barely bought anything and I spent $40. So this is my adventure of couponing. I bought a sunday newspaper, watched youtube videos, researched, and made a coupon binder. My first purchase...

CVS

Here's the breakdown:
5 Clorox, Sale for $2 each and if you bought over $15 you got $5 in Extra Bucks
2 Clorox clean up 2/$5, $15.00 - $5 Extra bucks = $10.00
1 Spin Brush toothbrush $6.49 - $2 coupon - $2 ExtraBucks = $2.49
1 Schick Shaver $8.79, $4 Extra Bucks + $2 coupon = $2.79
1 Lysol Hand Soap, +$12.99-$6.00 Extra bucks -$3.00 coupon = 3.99
1 Glide Floss, +3.49 - $2.50 Extra rewards bucks = $.99
1 Colgate Toothpaste, $2.99 - 2.00 Extra rewards bucks = $.99
1 Allegra, $6.99 - $6.99 extra rewards bucks - $2.00 coupon = -2.00
1 Bronzer (40% off. original $13.99) $8.49 - $3.00(Peelie coupon on the box, I asked the cashier to scan it for discount)= $5.49
TOTAL Overal: $93.65
What I really paid????? = $26.76

Before I know about couponing, I would have bought the bronzer and bleach full price, yet those two products alone is around $24. If you think about it, all the rest was free!! Pegs and I already have a plan to store all our items. Thinking ahead =)

Stay tuned for my Walgreens haul. I still haven't gotten the hang of it. Still learning the art of couponing =)
