The Dallas Morning News did a piece on a lady who is using coupons to buy her entire Thanksgiving spread for sixteen dollars and change. Of course, I don’t feel like it’s “complete” because she didn’t buy stuff for pies, green bean casserole, etc. But being a coupon shopper, she probably already has those items stockpiled… And whether that is the case or not, her total started out over $60, so it’s a heck of an accomplishment!
I, of course, am not allowed to spend money on stupid things like newspapers with coupons in them. Obviously I could if I had my own money, but I don’t. It doesn’t really matter, because I also am not able to grocery shop properly. What good is a coupon if you can’t use it? Who needs free stuff when you have beans in the pantry?

I still haven’t done the Walgreen’s thing -mainly because I have been sick. Although, my husband and I just did all of our Thanksgiving shopping at Fred Meyer’s (don’t think you have those in Texas) and used coupons – we saved over $16 by using coupons and got a free turkey. The turkey was almost $20 – so it was a score. What is weird is that my husband is the one who saw the coupons and thing about a free turkey – usually he doesn’t care about the coupon thing.
Also – I will be sending out your thing here shortly. I will email when I do – so you know to watch for it!!
