"We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edge of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories."-Atwood
I may not be published in the newspaper, but I'm writing my story here. Does that mean I've given up my freedom? Does the word define me or do I define the word? HHMMM......
I've been trying to make some adjustments in our family life. One of which is to coupon! I love hearing all the stories about all the money being saved and think how wonderful it would be to apply that to our family budget. I dream of walking into a store and only paying $.50 for a whole bag of groceries. I personally think that is too good to be true....
AND so Karma makes it's way into my life. If I don't believe it, it will never happen, right? I'm not applying "the secret" very well.
In the past 3 weeks, I've only received my papers once. I fail to understand what is so hard about delivering a newspaper. Other than the fact that I'm suppose to have 5 on my doorstep every Sunday. And it's not just me. There are numerous others in my neighborhood who have multiple papers on their driveways. Those red plastic bags glistening in the sun...I'm so jealous that it's not on my driveway. How am I suppose to save $100's of dollars if I don't get my paper?
Maybe I'm just not cut out to cut coupons.

don't give up!! Couponing is so fun and so worth it. I only should get the Sunday paper, but this week, I"ve got it each and every day. How odd that they miss you. what paper do you take?
I wouldn't say couponing is "fun." (When did coupon become a verb?) I would say there is a sense of satisfaction when you pay less than $1 for a gallon of milk.
Now, I forgot what I was originally going to comment; I got distracted by Heidi's comment. Hm. Well.
If you can't get your paper delivered just yet, you can always try coupons.com and see if there is anything there you can use.
