Still shaking my head

Well I am still shaking my head around here and still come up swinging for the household.  It seems strange that I can still get things dirt cheap around here totally off the coupons.  With the other day around here I got 2 gallons of ice cream at buy one get one free and had 2 of the 75 cent coupons for them also and they were doubled at the store for the good stuff.  So I got an extra 3 dollars off that part of things here for the household and started laughing that it came out to be $3.68 for the 2 tubs of ice cream.  So after all said and done the total bill was $77.96 and after the card and coupons it was $44.59 for the day and it was including meats in the cart also.  Now trying to explain to folks this is why I use my card and coupons at some of the stores here in the area and they still do not get it in why I use both togeather here.  Pluss it is part of the budget of myself trying to get groceries and other things as cheap as possible for the household here.  There is another reason of why I use the coupons at the grocery stores and other places also here.  I want to try to rake over the store as much as possible with the sales, cards, and coupons for that place.  Also I did get over 150 points for the gas on the card at this point in time the other day.  It is every 100 points for 10 cents off on the gas for the truck here and it is a good thing also.  So I will let the points build up on the card and use the coupons to get extra points on the card also here.  And since I have to travel to the doctors next month around here it will be put to good use totally on the gas before I leave.  With the coupons they only except 10 at a time at the store here in the area for 100 points extra so I see myself splitting the coupons up around here also for the next orders that are going to come up.  So now I will be watching the sale ads closser around here and collecting more coupons for the sales in the area.  Also at this point I will be taking in the nickles also around here so I can get that much more off of the bill for the household here.  It works for me around here and it really bothers some folks that are behind me in the check out lanes.  I know that it bothers some folks untill they see my total bill after the coupons and the card here.  Since I have not cashed in the nickles as of yet here that are in the household some will really be mad at me for what I do take in to trade out for.  At this point in time here I have about 30 dollars in nickles so far that I need to take in and that is not including in what I picked up off the parking lot at the storage unit yesterday also.  The weird part about it is that I can get up to about 40 cents there and other places I can get more or less depending on how lazy some folks get around the area here.  Since I do pick up the nickles along the way here it makes it worth the trouble here to get the extra cash of course.  Now that I will get back out for my walks here during the week and it makes it easier to pick up the nickles of course.  So now at this point I know that I have to get back out there and start walking again here to feel better.  I will keep you posted on how I do with the days and weeks to come areound here on that part of things for the household here.  With that being said around here I have to start in on the picking up again here in the household.  I got farther than I thought I did yesterday all day long also.  So now to get more done before the phone call today.
