// "How The Coupon Empire replaced the Cupcake Empire."

My name's Scarlet, and Today I want to talk about a bit of an addiction. So here we go.

As of lately I've been wanting to post about mine and my sister's couponing experiences,

cutting, collecting, and finding price match ups takes a lot of time and effort. Sometimes I cut so many i forget why I have them to begin with, then I remember the pay off is huge.

This week lots of good coupons came in the mail, and I used a few for the sales happening at the 

Walgreens and the CVS, which are my favorite couponing places, Target is also another favorite.

We also go to Raid Aide and the juggernaut that is Wal-Mart. I love that we can price match, that makes 

me happiest. 

I know that Wal-Mart is the devil, and I'm not proud of it, but they have an amazing coupon policy.

Target has an awesome coupon system, but sometimes it fails to deliver and there's a lot of fighting with the cashier's who can't read the fine print like we do, but they do give cash back in gift cards which we can use for the next purchase whether it be a day or seconds later.

CVS and Walgreens were hit up today by me and my mom, we bought a lot of clearanced make up

over 70% off and matched it with coupons.

I had read on Hip2Save about a lot of deals going on so I made my little list and headed over there

a few days after the sale started. I BARELY got anything, and saw other savings literally there one second gone the next.

Almay cosmetics were reduced to 2.50 each, sometimes 1.50, I had a $2 coupon on ANY and scored them for 50 cents or less~~!!

I bought: 

Amethyst Mascara for Brown Eyes x2, Liquid Foundation X2, Pore Fection Foundation x1 & Trio eye shadows x2

Each of these retail for 8.99 or 13.99 and over, paid: under 5 bucks for everything.

I'm hoping that there will be some deals for Allergy medicine in the next weeks, I have severe allergies and lots of coupons I'm just waiting to use.

I will fix this blog, and post up more things, I've been realyl avoiding blogging for the past few months but I think it's time I've returned to cyber land as real land is a stranded ship.

Will Post pictures later.
