I've skipped couponing, and now look!

I have been so busy, and despite my knowledge of what will work for my budget, I've just been shopping all the wrong way lately! Do you go through cycles too? Some weeks you do really well with finances and budgeting and saving, just to blow it with a couple of weeks of rush?




I just returned from Tops, (NOT the bargain grocery store I usually go to, but it is closer) and spent an UNGODLY amount of money on shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and laundry detergent. There were no sales. I had no coupons. It nearly infuriates me to pay $12 for some Tide, and $5.49 for a bottle of shampoo. Especially when I know that these are the items that so frequently go on sale, and be gotten for next to NOTHING when couponing.

Here is a great example from a Rite Aid scenario I posted a while back:

Transaction #4
Buy 2 John Frieda Full Repair Stylers ($5 each on sale)
Use 2 x $2/1 coupons from 6-5 paper
Use $6 reward from transaction #1
Total $FREE
Get $3 rewards to use next

Transaction #5
Buy 2 Granier Fructis Shampoo/Conditioner (2/$5 on sale)
Use 2 x $1/1 coupons from 6-5 paper
Use $3 reward from transaction #1
Total $FREE

So I am starting up again, and it all begins with filling up the ole' binder!
Here are the latest coupons to start you off too!
(OMG can you believe that New Years resolutions are coming???)
