Good day all!
I have to confess that I had fallen off the bandwagon of couponing sometime in our move. Now that I want to get back into the swing, I feel like I am learning it all over again! I have no idea where to start in this new place. Particularly since my recycle bins here are monitored, as I mentioned before.
What's a girl to do?? I am hoping that maybe some of my fellow small-towners can help. Post if you have a deep dark coupon infested secret!
So far I am going to have to resort to hitting up all of the local supermarkets. I have had limited success perusing the aisles of Safeway in particular. (Not where I come back to use them though!) But I have been fore-warned that there are not many to be had here. The only newspaper here that carries the sale circulars is a paid paper, which to me negates almost any savings that I would earn, particularly if I wanted more than one circular.... which of course I DO!
I am also confronted with the dilemma that I know a lot more people here than in my last city AND it is about 1/10th of the size. I used to boldly peruse every aisle in a number of supermarkets and leave without making a purchase while safely wrapped in the blanket of anonymity! I could let my freak flag fly and never see these people again! I was one with the homeless people and their handy trash picking sticks! I trash-picked my own trash-picking stick!
C'est la vie, and now its over.
The only benefit I have encountered thus far, is that even the homeless
people (if there are any), are too snobby to shop at Goodwill. I have no
such morals.
