Hi, my name is Random and I am an addict!

I am an addict.

To coupons.

I LOVE them.. Love, love, love them. I love getting up early on Sundays (and I am a HUGE sleeper I love to sleep in.. not on Sundays) I get up and go out to buy the paper to see the new coupons.

I love getting them organized, sorted. Going through all the flyers to see the deals for the week.

Love it.

This is my overstock shelves.

Well one of them anyways... this is just the "cleaning over stock"

View on the other side.... And yeah it goes ALL the way back.. like super stuffed....
See all this stuff? Yep $8 at Kmart this week. It was double coupon week.... And I got $17 back in kmart dollars to use back in the store!


And I wend to Kmart EVERY DAY. 2 times a day, I used so many coupons this week that I think I may be couponed out a little....

And the other overstock? I have about 30 bottles of shampoo and conditioner, body wash, tooth paste, and floss sitting in a box ready to head off as a donation to a church.....

This is SO addicting.. and fun.. I would be lying if I was not walking through kmart and eyeing other peoples carts and asking them if they have a coupon for that? And if they did not I gave them one and told them about the doubles!!

My name is Random and I am addicted to coupons!

So this is what heroin feels like...

So coupons are like my crack. I think coupon clipping and redeeming is like what crack would feel like. Or heroin. Not to make light of people who have suffered or are dealing with families that suffer I am just saying is all...

Its SO LIBERATING and EXCITING and there is SUCH A RUSH!!!! And getting stuff for free knocks my socks off (well if I would wear socks which rarely happens cause I am always wearing flips)

Anyhoo I am doing GREAT with this coupon deal. I just wish I would have caught on sooner.. I mean some of these companies are giving stuff away!! And all you have to do is shop there with coupons when they have sales and BOOM!! 16 rolls of toilet paper and 8 rolls of paper towels for UNDER $1!! And that is with taxes...

See this??


2 things of FULL size secret deodorant for $0.07 cents!!

I just wish I would have started this sooner!!

***edit to add** How did I get this deal? Well Jacylann asked so how I did it was Hyvee was having a sale in Secret Deodorant for $.99. I had 2 coupons for $1 off Secret Deodorant so the total after coupons was $0.07** I am still learning and I use A LOT of sites that tell you where the deal are and where to go to get the deals!

Sunday morning


I woke up early (7am) went to the gas station and bought some YUMMY coffee, which I may add I only drink about once every 6 months (caffeine and I are not friends) and picked up 2 Sunday papers. I was SO EXCITED to get home and clip coupons (crazy I know)

Then the hubby and I set out to do our grocery shopping with my coupon book in hand. I asked him at one point "Does this embarrass you?"

He said "No, it just slows it down a little bit"

The grand savings was $20 on our purchases some of it was sale stuff and some was coupons but the hubby was so impressed he said we should have been doing this sooner!! We also got a $5 gift card to use at another time! If we do this 10 times that $200 in our pockets!

And because I had to work Sunday night I was not finished till about 11 so I thought I would stop back at the same gas station to see if they had any papers left. They still have about 5 so I smiled nicely and asked "Seeing how its 11pm could I maybe have the coupons out of some of the newspapers you have left?"

AND THEY LET ME!!! I only took 3 more in case someone did want to purchase a paper but WEEHOOO I love me some coupons!

One of my favorite sites to check every day is My Frugal Adventures she explains what coupons and what store is having the deals (takes all the work out of it) she also links the coupons you can clip and how to "do" the sale....and Coupons.com

The LOOT!


I am so getting a hang of this coupon thing!! I did not do as well as I could have because I did not have a coupon for EVERY ITEM, but I did pretty good and I know where I made my mistakes.

My total bill was $56.09 and out of pocket I only paid $8.67!! A savings of OVER $47!!

So I also purchased this


So I can duplicate the binder this lady had!! I am going to be a coupon MONSTER!! I spent a few hours yesterday scouring sites with coupons. Watching you tube on "how to do it" I am SO EXCITED about saving money on stuff we need anyways..

And I also discussed with the hubs when I can get stuff for free I am going to start a big box of stuff for one of the charities or "food banks" in our area! I can see the overflow becoming a certain problem..ha ha..

Look out retailers I am going to find you and the best deal I can get!

We have a WINNER!!

The winner of the book giveaway is



Mrs R over at Blogging away
!! You should go say "hi" She's a military wife and she plays the guitar!



I used Random.org to pick the winner.. (such a cool site!) I wish I knew how to do the cute little cut and paste thing but I can not figure it out!

Congratulations!! Email me at crazyrandommusings@yahoo.ca and I will get your FABULOUS book out right away!

I will let you know tomorrow what the next book is!! I need to get to reading!!


In other FABULOUS news. Actually in HUGE news I was at Kmart last night and I walked passed this lady with a HUGE binder of coupons. She looked approachable so I said "hi" (thats the Canadian in me) and she was SUPER nice. I totally did not get her name though however she did show me HOW TO SHOP FOR FREE!!!!

With coupons. See I can clip coupons with the best of them but I rarely use them. She had this binder set up super user friendly and she gave me a BUNCH of tips.

I think we created a MONSTER I have been up all night printing coupons for FREE STUFF, well not free really (yet) but Kmart has a double coupon week and she showed me how (I was buying shaving cream for the hubs) to do it.

Shaving cream $1.99 (on sale)
Coupon $1 off x2 (double coupon)
= FREE!!!

I am so excited to shop for free.... I am heading back to Kmart with all my coupons and I will let you know when I return how I did! I am sure I will not be able to master it like she did, her and her husband bought $193 worth of stuff for $1.89. WOW!! I am so going to learn how to do this. She says its been YEARS since she has paid full price for anything she uses on a regular basis including house cleaning supplies!
