Getting Back into Couponing

After couponing strongly for a couple of years...I took a break.  Couponing does take a bit of time...and I just haven't had the time to do it...or maybe I just needed a break.  Probably a little of both.  Gardening and preserving food has become much more of an interest to me.  I am loving learning how to can, how to make my own dishwasher tabs...and so many other things.  However, that being said, I decided to coupon during the winter.  By doing so, I can stock up on our toiletries and other necessities for the year.  When gardening gets into full swing...I will stop couponing and devote that time to pulling weeds instead. 

One thing I found...couponing is like riding a bike, once you know how...you never really forget.

Here were my buys for today:

My best deal of the day did not involve any coupons or stores.

I belong to an online group called "Besties" ~ it is like a virtual

garage sale.  One of the members is an avid couponer and decided

to sell off some of her stash.  I picked up 20 packages of disposable razors.

 

Schick Razors.  Retail $7.99, I paid 75 cents each

91% Savings

 

Bic Razors.  Retail: $4.49, I paid 75 cents each

Not too shabby for my first day out in a long, long time!
