i keep reading your hunts, your finds, your treasures, and even though i am a diligent coupon-cutter, sale-abider, and blatant refuser of paying retail, YOU are a new source of inspiration. Thank you for your blog, thank you for your hard work in documenting your troves, thank you for what I consider to be acts of service to so very many of us just trying to turn those dollars into elastic rubber bands during these oh so trying times. thank you, thank you, thank you…..Hurricane Rojohttp://poopinmypocket.blogspot.com
I love reading your blog. It has definately helped stretch my dollars! I'm wondering where you got your $3/2 motrin coupon. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks again for being the bargain hunter you are!
Wow guys, thank you
I really appreciate that. I'm just glad that my cheapness can help others! lol I've always been frugal and I admit that being able to share it with others is so much fun!Thank YOU for reading! 
Oh! I forgot to tell you where I found that coupon- The $3/2 came from the 11/22 SS! Not sure if all regions got the same coupon. I would assume so though!
