This was definitely a successful trip! I have learned A LOT about couponing since I began the challenge, and I continue to haul in free and deeply discounted stuff each week. I’ve co-taught 3 couponing classes at a local library and at our homeschooling group, and my latest project is writing step by step tutorials for my friends who want to learn how to do this too. I’ll be posting them here first, but I’m also turning them into a free e-book download for those who want it all in one place.
If couponing isn’t your thing, hang in there. I’ll still be blogging about other topics too. For example, my new 2012 challenge. Sadly, I didn’t complete my 2011 de-cluttering challenge. I was off to a strong start, but some personal things happened in November and I didn’t blog for a couple of months. (Which is why I’m posting the conclusion to the November challenge in February.) I did enjoy de-cluttering, and I was able to purge several thousand pounds of stuff from our house. It was awesome. And so what if I didn’t finish? I’m learning to start again where I left off, and you can too. I’m offering myself (and you) grace.
To receive the couponing tutorials (and all my other stuff) by email, click on the Feedblitz button up there underneath my picture. Updates will also be posted to Twitter and Facebook. How easy is that? 🙂
Good for you.
