Extreem Black Friday Blues

Wow! What Deals!!  Well guess what!!  I didn't get one :-( 
This is a few reasons why

1. Way too busy
2. Way too tired
3. way too low on extra cash

But then there is Next Year!!
Hurray!!
Like my Blog title.. Finally Frugal... So that means I am a work in progress.  So all those out there that just may stubble accross this Blog Post, and the one that didn't take advantage of the best Black Friday deals for one reason or another.  Please know, that you are not the only one.. we are in the same half sunk boat.   Now it's time for a few Chips Ahoys... Oops!! haven't come accross a coupon, so that means the item is not allowed to be purchased by this FINALLY FRUGAL Gal :-)

How to Become a Coupon Addict

It all started when one of daughters boasted about how much she saved at the Grocery store, and all the freebies she got!!
I thought to myself, why not me! 

1. Purchase multiple sunday papers
2. remove inserts and staple like pages together to form a book
3. Check weekly grocery ads
4. Make a list of sale items that have coupons that match up
5. cut out coupons
6. trip plan with my navigator to different Grocery stores
7. give myself enough time to spend at each store to accomplish my mission. (it's a good idea to get a store map, usually there will be one towards the front of store.
8. make sure not to shop on an empty stomach-Or you might be tempted to grab a sandwich at the deli, and forget to pay for it at check out!! that could ruin your whole joy of savings, once you have to post bail!! goodness sakes!
9. Bring cold storage containers , and even bring them into store, so to pack the frozen and refrig items in right away.
10. Oh, last but not least.  Make sure to know each stores coupon policys, so not to find out the hard way, like this finally frugal Gal did!!
11.  nuff said ;-) for now...  Hope this helps at least some .. $$$
