I had 2 rr expiring tonight. I ran back to the store at 930 and they close at 10. Picked my q's and rr in the car and arranged them for an easy check out in the store. Then I forgot my 5/25. Had to run back out to the car. I ended up doing 2 orders. The first one the dude forgot to scan my $5/25 so he had to take off a coupon. Then he took off too many and I was negative. Then he had to fix that. I get my rr's and I am ready for order 2. He "forgets" to give me my rr. I get it and push...

HMMMM, I am thinking about teaching classes. I have been asked by many people to teach and I am considering it.
I know I am good. WE have several great shoppers in my coupon group and I have learned bunches from them. I didn't know it all after all.
Anyway I have friends and family members that see people on tv and read these big time blogs about saving money. They tell me I am better.
Doesn't matter if I am or not. I have always liked to share what I know.
...

About my totals, here's my truth in lending statement. LOL

Coupons and mirs.
This is my big time of year for spending.
I save all year to be able to buy bunches of salty snacks, cooking oil, crackers, soup, tuna, meat, and salsa during the sales that will be out between now and Jan.

Lots of deals on food, lots of deals on rebate items.

I will be buying lots of meat because Black Friday is a great day for specials. Then as it gets closer...

Ok, You guys know I buy big. I buy and share with the family. Then I yard sale my extras.

I am finding my self at a crossroad with my personal spending budget.

I can get shampoo free right now and I have myself capped on personal spending.

The situation is - I sell the reg sized shampoos for $2 and the big size for $3.50. I am getting them for tax right now.
I have not been able to get a "quantity" of shampoos for free all year. ...

My family is in the middle of a financial crunch. I am going through the house for a big yard sale.
Paring down clothes, dust catchers, old dishes, old appliances, and my stockpile.
I know with the cold weather coming I won't be able to have another yard sale until April or May. So I am ear marking this money for later.

I have non coupon friends that are complaining about money but won't do anything to help them selves. I even offered to help them and take some stuff...
