Just a Little Tip

Just as said I was coming back the internet goes out. There's Murphy for you.

I hope you snagged some great deals with the Dillon's Mega Event the past two weeks. I did the deal 5 or 6 times over. I been waiting for this deal for so long! I wish my internet was up to help you out with this one. Here's a tip for next time just in case. Dillons flier barely scratches the surface for these big events. Hit the store before your shopping spree to grab a print out located by the fliers or around the store. It lists dozen more products and by category so that they are easy to find in your coupon stash. Also, I found a second, but smaller, list at Dillons Marketplace that had a couple more items on it then the big list.

My favorite item from this deal...the Ziplock containers. I love containers! I wish I'd bought more. Regret.

Do You Even Post Here Any More??

Fine timing I have. I chose to start a blog about couponing just as Walgreens chooses to stop their most profitable program (well for us at least), the economy takes dive causing stores to promote steady low pricing instead of regular loss leaders, and my own personal need for a break from the whole couponing world. Ugh! True confession time...I haven't used more than a handfull of coupons all summer. I'm incredibly competitive by nature and extremely lacking in self-control when doing things just because you should. Couponing has always been a great game. Beating the system, walking in the door weighed down by tons of grocery bags for $10, walking in the door with more money than you walked out with! These were the great motivators that just don't seem to be had anymore. But can I just say...every time I've gone through the Dillons self-check out and it asks "Do you have any coupons?" and I have to press no...yeah, that's just a sad way to end a shopping trip.

Well, I think I'm ready to turn the corner and get back to business (it sure does help to get those weeks and weeks of coupons finally cut). Sometimes a rest can do you good. So does this mean you can plan to see regular posting here again...that is if there is anyone left reading this to begin with? Ummm...let's just take it as it comes. I have a few things already lined up, but this blogging business sure is a lot of work. And! we're starting kindergarten in this house on Monday!! I really need to make sure that my priorities stay in order and this blog falls fairly low on the list. But, I do enjoy it and hope to keep up with semi-regularly. So I'll guess we'll just see what's to come.
