Call it coupon-craving, deal-craving, freebies-craving. All I try to do is get my hands on my laptop and look for the bestest deals of the day. And once I get it, I say to myself, whoaaaa, look at the money I am saving. Of course, there are things I wouldn't go looking for consciously, but c'mmon, the perks are always good. Perks are ego-boosters. Perks are exciting. Perks are thrilling. Perks are inviting. Perks are most welcome, aren't they?
Over the past month, I have got myself a free pizza, free movie ticket, free 8x10 prints, free slippers, free cards, and have spent pennies on Anushka's dresses. Got a box of 100 paperclips for 19 cents. Who can beat that? Yes, I didn't need it, I know, but what the heck, its a deal you can't beat. And yes, I have been sharing it with friends. Sharing it around doubles the craving I have to say. Its hard to describe the sheer thrill you get out of getting things for free or just pennies.
Anyways, I have to curb my enthusiasm before I become a laughing stock of my friends and people around. This has certainly changed the way I shop now. I would NEVER EVER pay full price for anything. I won't step out till I am convinced I don't have a coupon for my target store. I will hunt the net but it will be controlled. I promise. Cross my heart. All I need is some other addiction.....hehehe. Maybe I can just come back to my dear ole bloggin. :)

But, There surely is a feeling of achievement once you crack one f dem and get sumthin at dirt rates.. Ya Njoi this phase!!
PS: Pl do lemme kno bout a scheme or 2... lol
I was personally never a coupon person. Lekin I think thats the best way to remain fiscally conservative. I am all for maintaining a tight conservative aspect on the financial side of things.
Barring few handful coupons, most coupons are time and energy absorbants and need extra effort to review and sort them and eventually to use them. Sometimes it turns out that in order to use this coupons you tend to spend/buy other trivial items.
