Closet Coupon Clipper

Okay, let's all admit it. These are tough times we're living in and we are all feeling the pinch regardless of where we live and our socio-economic status. So here's the deal. I have started clipping coupons and I actually look forward to my Sunday morning ritual with the newspaper, my cup of coffee and scissors. It's like going on a treasure hunt and the biggest find of all are the dollar off coupons. Wow, cha ching! But here's the problem, I can clip'em but I am embarrassed to use them. I am a closet coupon clipper. Armed with my bulging coupon organizer, I actually try to shop during off hours-you know what I mean-the times of day when my mommy friends aren't likely to be grocery shopping. As any stay at home mom knows, the school hours between 9 am and 2 pm are prime time for grocery shopping so I troll through the grocery aisles at night looking over my shoulder for fear any of my neighbors might see me coupon shopping. I need to get over myself as well this ridiculous need we all have to save face in the suburbs and believe me, I'm working on it. For the ranks of coupon clippers among us, I thought I'd offer up a few treasured websites so you don't have to wait for the Sunday newspaper coupon bonanza. Here are some great websites that I get my coupon fix from: Boodle.com, Smartsource.com, coupons.com and eversave.com Enjoy and feel free to spread the savings around by sharing your own favorite coupon resources. Cheers!
