I have a confession...

Alright...it's time for me to come out of the closet. It is official, I am obsessed with coupons!

cou⋅pon⋅ing–noun

1. the practice of distributing discount coupons to consumers as a form of product promotion.
2. the activity of seeking out or saving discount coupons to save money on food or household purchases.

I started "couponing" last May. I began by reading local blogs, then went to a "couponing" seminar, then subscribed to the local Sunday & Wednesday paper. It only escalates from there. I seriously get a thrill from walking out of numerous stores with bags of free or close-to-free groceries, necessities (deodorant, toothpaste, etc.) and baby supplies (diapers, wipes, etc.). I have started a second blog to talk about my obsession and show you ideas of things I get for free and amazing deals at local stores. The idea of using coupons for me, is so I can save money on things our family needs to spend more on things our family wants. Check out: confessionsofacouponaholic.com to see what I am talking about. Watch out, you will be hooked before you know it!
