50 Shades of Grey and a bit of extreme couponing



I couldn't take it any more.  Everyone is talking about "50 Shades of Grey".  I bought the first book.  Oh my is it ever naughty.  I finished the first one and found myself totally obsessed with finding out what happens next.  Yep- I too found myself unable to leave the store without book number 2 "50 Shades Darker".  I was sort of...no, I was very embarassed to be buying the second one.  Just tucked it under the fruit snacks at the bottom of my cart.  Is it legal for this to be sold at Walmart?   I have a million things to do and yet I need to know what will happen with Anastasia and Christian. 

The coupon binder is nearly complete.  I purchased a 3 ring binder that has a zipper so all of my goodies don't fall out.  I purchased tab pages to keep the coupons in order by isle at the grocery store.  I purchased baseball card organizer pages and have placed most of the coupons in their places.  I have store flyers tucked away for price matches at Walmart.  I have a pocket for my scissors and pen.  I even put my notebook in there so that my shopping list would be sure to make it to the store with me.-  I have cut coupons from  6 Sunday papers and the Target website.  I would have had more from the Red Plum and Smart Source websites however I ran out of ink in my printer.  I have one concern- how much money did I just spend to save money more efficiently?  I spent $34.08.  We shall see what I save.

You need to teach me the couponing strategy. The whole thing overwhelms me.
