You are a...Tonya, you are not an extreme couponer. You are a smart couponer! Thanks for all the tips--those are great. So here's a question for you: does the exposure to products via coupon combing (such as the Target printable coupons) ever tempt you to buy stuff you wouldn't otherwise buy? That's the sort of thing I worry about. Suggestion is powerful!<br /><br />Also, I was in Target recently and super disappointed about the clothing choices. Where are all the beautiful things for me to spend my money on? Maybe I was just spoiled--2013 was SUCH a good year for Target dresses.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-49046240077979225322014-02-16T15:01:20.271-06:002014-02-16T15:01:20.271-06:00Hi Rose-Anne! I know we've talked on FB about ...Hi Rose-Anne! I know we've talked on FB about why I coupon and how it's helped me. You're right, coupons for produce is very rare, but what I've found is that if you are a loyal customer to a certain grocery store (like Kroger) they sometimes reward me by giving me coupons specifically for their Organic food (save 1$ on $5 of produce, etc). Also, have you looked into printable Target coupons? I know you like their clothing, and they sometimes have coupons for their dresses, jeans, and bras! Anyway, going back to the problem of finding coupons for organic and local food, I've find that farmer's markets produce usually have better deals than grocery stores, because you are sidestepping the middle man. I also just want to comment, that I will use a coupon if I know I'll use the product. Otherwise, I give all my unused coupons to the office of my department and let other people have it. I guess if you are an extremist (couponer that is), you just don't know how to pass up a sale.Tonyanoreply@blogger.com
