I Did It! I Got Paid to Shop!

Today was the first day I have ever walked out of a store with items in hand and made money!  I feel like dancing!!! I went to Walgreen's, and used coupons and Register Rewards, and made money! Actually, I made $8.00.  I have to go back tomorrow to get the items I missed because I ran out of time.  I am amazed that it is finally working for me.  Scott came home from work, and I had to show him my deals.  He didn't believe me. I then showed him my receipt and the Register Rewards, and he got it!!! His next question was what are we going to do with eight boxes of NyQuil?  Give to charity was my response and then I got a lecture of how much time it took me to get these free items.  In one ear and out the other.  I am hooked now.  I can't wait until the next time!  He was most impressed with the Listerine that was free. I had to explain why there are Snickers in the mix, and then he understood the filler items.  Maybe he will one day understand. He then asked for toothpaste, and I told him that he would have to settle for a different brand because the kind he wanted was not on sale.  The argument ensued that "you have a coupon for what I want!"  I guess I will break down and use the coupon on the full price item, but not without a struggle.  Just this once.  Just to get us through.  I promise I will be watching closer to when toothpaste goes on sale!!!

Until next time,

Sarah
