Did you know that coupons are, like, free money?

Yeah. Apparently you can get them online, in newspapers, and when you hand them to the cashier at Publix they’re all “You saved $16 and bought fantastic red hair dye.”

This is almost as exciting as that time I discovered Wal-Mart.

I’ve led a very sheltered life. Don’t judge.

Seriously though, R.J and I have been prepping to take the plunge (No, not that plunge. The lets-sign-a-lease-together plunge) and trying to figure out how to afford rent and food. Coupons happen to be quite an excellent solution that dilemma.

I’ve been using www.familysave.com to get my coupons for right now. They have a big directory and then they mail them to you– Which is a good thing, because I tend to rip the barcode every time I pull them out of the Sunday section.

I’m most excited about the foundation I got the other day. The store was having a 2-for-1 special and I had two $2 off coupons. Which means that I got two bottles of foundation for the price of one, and on that price I got $4 off. INCREDIBLE. I’M WOWED—ARE YOU WOWED? Well, I’m wowed. Maybe coupons aren’t your kink, but they’re certainly my new thing.

I even bought a snazzy organizer. To be snazzy and also organized in a money-saving fashion.

Man. I’m going to be the coupon saving girl.

And when we’re all moved in, our friends will visit us at our new apartment and they’ll be all—WOW! How did you afford that giant flat screen TV and fancy, but useless four option toaster? And I’ll be all like, “Our food bill this month was like negative zero dollars.” And they’ll be all, “Gosh, that’s why you’re so thin! Let us take you out to dinner, you stylish-yet-destitute child!”

Yeah. This is going to be great. I can feel it in my $0.50 off Lactaid milk.

Apologies for this video being…dumb, and also late. Two very unflattering qualities. In other news, I just got my paycheck yesterday and its mysteriously disappeared (and reformed itself onto the shelves in my closet.)
