Hi. My name is Sarah, and I am addicted to coupons.

So I have decided that since I no longer have a job with an income (notice I didn't say I no longer work ;)) I would contribute however possible to us saving money. An easy way for that in my opinion is to shop using coupons. I actually made this my New Year's resolution two years ago and I have done really good keeping up with it. Much better than the typical lose weight, stop drinking soda, etc. resolutions I have made before lol! Anyway, to make a long story short I have become friends with a girl who has become my coupon hero. She very often makes trips to the store where she stocks up on stuff and rarely spends more than a couple of dollars. I know of at least one time they had to pay her. No kidding. She is amazing! If you would like to check out her blog, go to dealdetectingdiva. I HIGHLY recommend it. The main way she saves so much is by shopping stores adds and matching coupons up to them. I decided to give this a try this weekend and here is how I did :)
