I have always been a frugal shopper and know my prices and a bargain when I see one. This whole concept intrigued me.

A month ago I clipped a few coupons, put them on the fridge with a magnet to remind me of the great deals waiting for me the next time I do my grocery shop. I made a rule to only buy things on sale or with coupons that I use regularly and not to buy something just because it was on sale.

My first attempt at 'couponing' left me standing at the checkout on several occasions with the vision of my coupons neatly in place on my fridge, I'd bought the product as I always do, but left the coupon for it at home.... DUH!!!
