I definitely have to say March was an amazing couponing month! I went big, and ended up with alot of free product--well, I had to pay the sales tax... Ended up saving almost $350 by using coupons in March, including $100 worth of absolutely free ziploc bags! It was a great month, and I want this month to be even better!

One of our local newspapers provided me with a large box of coupon inserts, and will continue to do so each time there are inserts in the newspaper. I just didn't expect there to be quite so many inserts. We're talking 300-400 inserts. So, I've got multiple pairs of scissors ready for cutting them all, and my binder ready to be filled.

And I'm sure you are all watching Extreme Couponing on TLC. I know I have been. Religiously. Envious? Yes. Wishing I was living in the states? Yes and no... I'd need a storage locker! I figure with what I am doing in Canada, I could do a heck of alot of damage down there. Check out the show though. It's addictive. Really. I'm watching right now...
So, there you have it. A few shopping updates. My thrills. My passion/obsession. My life--okay, part of it. Until next time, happy clipping! I'll get back to working on the look of the blog!

My name is Julie Ann, I just left u the comment about ziploc bags. I dont know how 2 google so i follow u by email. TY
Hey Julie Ann:
Not sure if you use facebook, but can find me on there too!
With ziploc, keep an eye on your sales fliers. Generally Wal-mart is the cheapest on them, and go for the smallest boxes possible. Also there is a printable Buy 2, Save $2 on the ziploc website. You can take those coupons, plus the one you have and stack them at London Drugs!
Hopefully will see you on facebook!

Hi, I am a huge fan of Mrs January and I saw a link to your site. I am new to couponing but have fallen for it hook, line and sinker!! I am learning new things everyday and am so excited to learn that they are building a London Drugs in my town! Woohoo!!! I do have a question about getting extra coupons from the paper. I phoned our local paper and asked what they did with the extra coupons and they told me they only order enough. Would you have any advice on what I can do to get more coupons?? I order them from online and wait patiently for them but would love more inserts. I already have everyone I know saving them for me but more is always better!! Teehee
Thank you for all you are teaching us....Happy couponing!!!
