My Couponing Saga

[SamRoss]

I started off with Walgreens on accident.  They attached an Easy Saver book to one of my prescriptions.  I noticed there were "FREE" items, after rebate.  Not only that, if you have them put your rebate on a Walgreens gift card, they add 10 %.  So I could make money shopping at Walgreens?  They would PAY me to leave with stuff?  Sweet! 

And its all down hill from there.  I used to follow MSM faithfully (and I still check it daily), but I've since learned how to match the circular with the coupons.  I am addicted!  Its so much fun.  The other day CVS PAID me almost $20 to leave with $100 worth of stuff.  Unbeleivable.  I started in October with Walgreens; I added CVS at Thanksgiving (because they had a crazy free day).  Albertson's has some crazy deals - buy one package of chicken breasts, get TWO free.  Walmart does NOT have crazy deals.
