So I have been couponing for 2 weeks now. Here is all the stuff I got this week. With rewards, coupons and gift card bonuses, I paid NOTHING out of pocket for any of this stuff. It retails about $35 before tax. Plus I started getting free samples in the mail (pictured: Atkins starter kit and Carefree liner sample). I have been signing up for about 5-10 samples a day. I'm excited to see a few finally come!
To find your own free samples, visit fatwallet.com (among many websites!), under the "Freebies" section. They post any freebie and sample on the web. Better yet, add them to your Twitter or Facebook to see live updates, as some of the offers go fast (like the free Swiffer duster offered last week).
I was at Walgreens the other day, getting my couponing on, when a fellow couponer complimented me on my coupon binder. I guess couponing is really starting to become popular! Everyone should be doing it, it's cheap, if not free stuff! To make your own coupon binder, visit thekrazycouponlady.com and look for her tips!

I am inspired! I am officially gonna start this week (the only coupons I use start with a C and end with OSTCO!) and hope I do as well as you!
Hi Veronica! You don't know me, but I'm Brian's friend from Pleasanton. And you seem totally fabulous! Plus I totally blog stalk you guys and I'm not afraid to admit it!
Anyway, I totally want to get in this coupon scene. I also saw that show awhile back and I want in. I have a question though...I've been just kind of looking at coupons and I swear all of them say limit one. So how do you actually get coupons that you can buy multiple and get it for free or really discounted? That's what I can't get. Can you help me?! I would love it if you emailed me (aprilanne22@gmail.com) or just commented back on this post.
Thanks!
YES! I DO THAT TOO!!! It really does work. I just started a few months ago:)

@April, sometimes yes, you can only buy 1 of something that's on sale, according to the store's ads (EX: the IcyHot in the picture was limit 1).
Other times, the store will just have a sale and the item will be reduced (the Listerine was a couple dollars off at Walgreens this week. I combined that with coupons and that's how I got them nearly free).
Usually on a coupon it will say only 1 item, but as long as you have more than one coupon, you can buy up a storm!
That's why we get two Sunday papers, for double the coupons. Plus our neighbor gives us his and sometimes we go scouting at the Starbucks down the street for the ads left behind. I usually pick up 2 copies that way too. This first week I got 4 sets, the next week I got 5 sets, and this week I got 6 sets!
Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions. I am in no way a guru tho!
