My surprise visitor is arriving in town today, so I've been cleaning my home for what seems like hours!! It's really amazing what the prospect of seeing someone you haven't seen in years will do to your motivation!! I should have people come in all the time ;).
But do you know what makes me really happy? It's not the spotless kitchen, or the will be spotless by the time I go to bed living room... Nope, it's a pile of expired coupons on the floor!! And do you know what they are doing on the floor? They are NOT being in my binder!!! WOO HOO!!!
For the first time in probably 8 weeks, my coupon binder will SHUT!! And do you see that beautiful gap at the bottom? That means there is MORE ROOM to put coupons inserts in!! WAHOOO!!
I'll admit it, I've felt like kind of a dork ever since Extreme Couponing came on the air. I get all kinds of funny looks, I even get people who are a little huffy about it, assuming I'm "ripping" off the store. I've been asked numerous times if I'm an "Extreme Couponer" I always answer with yes, a FabuLESSly Frugal Extreme Couponer, which means I coupon the ethical, moral, and legal way. However these last few weeks, with my binder spilling out everywhere, unable to even close, I have felt more and more eyes on me!!
At least now, when I go get my 32 yogurts, and my ~12 gallons of free milk, and pay only TAX, well... at least my binder will CLOSE! I will however be wearing my FabuLESSly Frugal I <3 Coupons shirt, and carrying my I <3 Coupons re-usable grocery bags :) So, if you see me, come say hi! And if you have any questions about being an Extreme Couponer, please feel free to ask!
Oh... maybe I'll take my surprise visitor shopping with me while she's in town :) She's an avid yard saler, but I think I might just blow her mind with this one!
PS-to get a binder like mine, check out Stylin Binders. You can either buy the completed thing, or if you are crafty, you can get just the pattern, and customize it yourself!
