Top 10 Indications You Are Coupon Crazy

CEM_0119_418.jpgI blogged a while back about taking a couponing class, and now it seems I’m coupon crazy. The whole thing started out as an oddly intriguing thing. Then it quickly became a hobby, and now it’s more like a frugal frenzy.

I think I’ve gone coupon crazy. The following is a list of items that I believe apply toward my coupon craziness. Can you see yourself?

Top 10 Indications You Are Coupon Crazy

 

  1. My browser home page is now set to TotallyTarget.com, trumping Facebook.
  2. I usually check out coupon deals in the morning, prior to having a cup of coffee. Craziness, I tell you.
  3. I have been known to spontaneously scream out when finding coupon deals that lead to free stuff. I’ve startled my kids and made my friends laugh.
  4. I have emailed my husband things like: I just bought $60 worth of groceries at Target for $7; not including any other lead-in or follow-up messages.
  5. My husband has offered to come up with “The Perfect Cheer” for us, SNL-style. Now that is over the top!
  6. I’ve actually considered taking pictures of my good deals, which means photographing my groceries.
  7. We have a lifetime supply of cereal and shavers in our basement.
  8. The kids call our basement “Our Store”.
  9. I send bags of items home with family, who leave scratching their heads and carrying bags of pasta, body wash, and popcorn.
  10. A friend and I enjoyed some time off, shopping “Double, Double Daze” and skipping through the isles carrying toilet paper and gleefully pointing at things.

  1. Can’t beat a hobby that saves you money instead of costing you money! I have been trying to use more coupons and search for deals, but I am having a hard time devoting time to it…especially during the busy summer months.

    It’s good therapy…….I have found out that spending an hour each week downloading coupons from sites as well as looking in the newspapers can save you a load of cash, seriously.
