Hi My Name is Keisha....

...and I'm addicted to couponing... *whew* Now that I've gotten that out the way, I feel So much better!

So now that I've admitted to the truth, I can tell you a little about me. I'm a single mother who is in the middle of a career change. That means every penny counts. I don't see going back though once my circumstance change. No I will never again go into the grocery store and buy something without first looking at the sales paper as well as what coupons I have to get the best deals possible. For me, it's all about freeing up as much money as I can wherever I can so that I can spend that money for something else that would probably be out of my reach.

I have to admit, couponing for me is FUN! I absolutely enjoyed walking into Harris Teether today and walking out with $75 worth of merchandise for $14.71! (I'll try to post pics and give a summary later...)

I've heard it all about couponing and every reason not to coupon. How coupons are just for processed foods. How it takes too much time and energy. For me, I take it all in stride. I know that those stereotypes were true in the past, but as time as gone on and as our eating tastes has changed, so has the coupons manufacturers are putting out. There are even coupons now geared towards people who want to eat healthier and/or organic!

My reason for creating this blog is to share information on my couponing journey. I got the idea to name this blog, "And He Said I Couldn't Do It!" after my sweetheart and a conversation we had today. See, my sister and I are talking about hosting two Redskins /Dallas football parties this football season. I think with couponing and the event being a few weeks out, I believe I can buy all the food items needed for $30. He has his doubts. While he said it wasn't a challenge, I surely felt that way. So, "And He Said I Couldn't Do It!" was born!
