I'm not a crazy coupon lady, but I try to save us money in any way I can. In our last year of marriage (and with the help of a dear friend who loves to coupon) I have learned that there are certain things I'll never pay full price for. I usually collect my ads by stealing them from Nick's grandma's newspaper on Sunday and then I've found a senior-type apartment complex near my house that has the Tuesday ads of which I have permission to take.
