Thrify Shopping Sunday 1/3/10

So this was another thing that got away from me the second half of 2009:

My weekly Sunday couponing at Walgreens and CVS

(I'll admit it... I haven't set foot in CVS for at least 2 months...)

I got so overwhelmed with so many things, that couponing actually started to become a chore and I actually really enjoy the thrill of getting a good deal. So I did get out and go to Walgreens when I could, but it was never well planned and I'd just grab and go.

It's a new year, so I'm giving myself a do-over!

Today I went Walgreens AND CVS

and I plan to keep it a weekly routine if I can help it
