My sister, who I am now knighting "Sir Coupon Queen of Texas," took me to Kroger's tonight. We wandered up and down the aisles with our coupons. "Do you have the All detergent coupon? They're only $2 then." We threw in three. "Here-if you have the Danimals coupon, these are only $.50." I threw in three of those. "Oooh these are free! You can have some of mine." I threw in a few of those.
I feel like I robbed them.
By the time I got to the register the wheels on the buggy were about to give way due to the weight of 10 years supply of laundry detergent and frozen vegetables. The lady behind me in line looked like she'd just been punched in the face by a lemon. I was actually pleased-I couldn't wait for her to see how much I was going to save... that should wipe that ugly snarl off her face.
Of course, that didn't prepare me for the panic when my total went to
$270!?!?!??!
Tiffany calmly explained to everyone in line that "it was my first time." Seeing the lemon-lady's pinched face, another cashier offered to check her out in another line while the cashier scanned my pile of coupons. However, the other lady behind her gladly stepped up behind me to question Tiffany and I about our coupons. "I'm usually the one holding up the line-are those $.35 off the Steamers?" Meanwhile, the Kroger clerk who'd been off work for 20 minutes was standing there, when asked if he needed help he said, "Oh, no. I wanna see how much these ladies are going to save."
I was breaking a sweat. Until... the total of my purchases went down to a ridiculous
$70 and some change.
That's right folks. I had
$200 in coupons. The lemon faced old bat was stunned. I turned to her and smiled, "I saved $200." In fact, the manager had to key in a few buttons to calm down the register. It was in shock over the savings I had. So, if you have a computer, a printer, and a Kroger within 50 miles you should head over to
My Litter and figure out how to save so much for yourself!

... What do you think about that, Mrs. Taylor!!!! :) Bet you wish you had your coupons!
