Confessions of a Wannabe Extreme Couponer

If you've read it once, you've read it 100 times.  I'm a wannabe runner.  I'm not sure what makes a runner, but I know I'm not one of them.  I describe my running skills as "I just keep moving and try not to pass out".  There's no real skill involved.  I just keep slowly, slowly, slowly moving.  Now it's time I take on another wannabe hobby.  EXTREMEME COUPONING!  Anyone out there watch that show?  It is amazing and one step away from hoarding and I love it.  Now that we have Netflix I am well on my way to watching every episode.  If you haven't seen it, here is a checkout in all its glory.  Watch her go!

So the ultimate goal for me has been to save the elusive 99.9% or only pay tax like they do on the show.  So far, no dice.  However, I did have a pretty good day yesterday!  I was going to take a picture of my loot, but some of it needed to get in the freezer or refrigerator so sorry.  Next time.
