I'm all out of ink!

The time has come where my printer has been exhausted and I ran out of ink, both color and black. I've been couponing long enough to know that coupons for ink (especially for my already cheap Kodak ink) hardly ever come around. So it got me thinking... what are some of the few things that I LOVE and still buy, even without a coupon.

• Ink (duh!)
• the usual clothing basics: socks and underwear (unless its a free pair from VS, which I ALWAYS take advantage of. Find out more by signing up for Pink Nation! )
• my oh-so-expensive-i-love-it mineral makeup (bare escentuals)
• lettuce
• meat 

So to buy these things, I coupon for other things, and look for overages at Walmart for the meat and lettuce! And I try to score giftcard deals at Target for the ink. It's all a cycle and once you learn it and practice it... you'll get it! 

phew! I'm exhausted!

Okay, folks. I know it has been quite a while since I've blogged. I started classes last week and I'm still trying to get used to my new schedule. I've been out of school for 3 LONG years and I'm trying to remember how I sat in a classroom for so long! I had a HUGE haul at Target, the or so before school, but I had no time to post about it. I did take pictures, but now I forget how much I saved and misplace the receipt!  I know I spent a grand total of around $17 though. My cashier was in SHOCK and I even shared a few coupons with her, so she could score some of the same deals!

I was shopping mainly for back to school stuff. I got (4) 5 Star notebooks ($.50 a piece!), a TON of razors.. some were $1, some were about $.14!. Most of the pens, pencils and post-its were free or just a few pennies. Even on my clearance ( the Nicole nail polish, pasta and the taco sauce still had coupons!). I think I did pretty good! I used a coupon on EVERYTHING but the cotton rounds. I just wish I could find the receipt. Things have been nuts around here!


I have a lot of down time in between classes, and I found a Rite-Aid, just steps from campus. I'm catching up on the Rite-Aid coupon policy and will couponing there soon between classes. I don't believe I've ever couponed there, so this should be a fun and exciting experience!
