The Art of Couponing

What you dont think it should be called that? As i sit and wait for my house to become quiet.. I attempt to run the deals in my head... Insanity.. This i know.. Once you purchase something and dont have to pay for it, it becomes an addiction!! There is nothing i can do to stop it. Thursday cant come soon enough as i begin checking the mailbox at 3pm.. Sadly he doesnt come until 4:30. The ads i quickly scan before i zone in on my target products for the week. I would conpair it to someone on a treasure hunt, how i map out, what and how i am going to purchase things... Once you are in the parking lot, your heart pounds... You know what i am talking about dont you??!! Enter the store, list in hand you begin to fill your cart.. When.... No, they are out of opti 4000, the disapointment as if you were just divorsed and diserted by your husband... Funny part, you dont even wear contacts... But your cousins friend does and you really had to get them for her ( this begins to happen too!) a quick rework of your plan... As your one year old, now backwards in his seat grabs all of the glasses off that terrible spinning display.. Thats it, your done.. It is what it is... Are you mad that Kim wheres contacts? (ohh i surley am!) anyway here i come Rita.. I know you hate what i save.. Get a job some where else then... Hands sweating i put the products on the counter... Why, seriously why are they so small, and why is my cart this small too? Victory, the smirck on my face.. Yes i know its there.. I cant control it. Driving home i think, yes I am a rock star... Hauling in my 20 bags.. Of course not the reusable ones.. Because i left them at home.. (everytime!!!) I begin un packing my goods and I am greatful..

Philippians 4:11-13
For I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungry of facing either plenty of poverty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me.

When you visit me, rarley do you leave empty handed.. Those who know me know its true... I am blessed with this art.. My insanity.. My passion! Shopping and Giving and Lists.. All of my favorite things. :) I will get working on the ads as soon as the monsters are down for the night, im sorry they are late.. I had to wait to get them in the newspaper today!
