I have updated the setting for comment posting.  Now anyone can leave a comment without having to have a 'profile'.  Sorry for the confusion.  How much longer can I claim that I'm a n00b? xoxo

My Extreme Couponing Binder.

The key to savings is organization.  Well, lots of elbow grease and a solid understanding that you must be organized.  I have been following The Krazy Coupon Lady, learning her techniques and best practices and I have been doing fairly well for myself.  

So let me share with you my binder.  I'm super proud of it.   I bought the binder at target, It is a 1.5",  soon I will need either another or a larger replacement.  It is stuffed with baseball Trading Card Pages that I purchased at Staples.  I bought 4 packages for $2.99 per package.

5 item FREE Earth Day haul. 04/22/11

Look what I scored for FREE today, Earth Day: (2) HP printer paper, (1) Disney BYOB, (2) Origins facial cleansers and (1) Starbucks hot tea in my own mug. This is a $55 haul.

The haul that started it all.

I know - I have a fashion and beauty blog yet I discuss coupons?  Yes.  I love to shop and I hate to pay full price.  When you're on a one-person income with a 2 person + cat household, you need to make your dollar stretch farther than you thought possible.  There just isn't a reason to spend all of your hard earned money when the stores and manufacturers are providing these discounts.  It's not a scam.  It requires elbow grease and organization.

I just started last week and I plan on posting daily about my hauls.  I hope I am able to offer some inspiration and a lot of savings!  xoxo
