Guess WHAT?!

I sold me first items on ebay this morning! And here they are.......

I went to Fred Meyer this week because they were having a buy one get one free, and a buy two get one free, offer on some of their toys and I had a 10% off coupon and some other manufacturers coupons for the board games. So I picked up the above toys along with all the ones here.........

for 100 dollars. Then I turned around and sold these ones.......
on ebay for 50 dollars. Making all these toys.......

a grand total of 55 dollars! Making each item an average of less than 3.50 a piece! Christmas here I come!

And here is how I have decided to get serious about my coupons. I realized that I could no longer fit all my coupons in my little accordion filer in my purse. So I went out and bought this organizer box. The girls came separate.

Now I can organize my coupons by as many categories as I want and it is saving me a lot of time going through my coupons trying to find the one I need. I also have folders for the weekly ads etc. to try and stay organized with it. Then I just take out the ones I need for the store that day and put them into my accordion organizer and head to the store.

You guys need to move to Nampa and live by me because I am so confused/overwhelmed by the whole coupon shopping thing, but so intrigued by it. So you guys move here and you can be my shopping buddy, okay?
Or maybe I will have to call you and figure out how to get started.

I've caught the coupon bug too Jessica - I started last week and got some good deals, like a tube of toothpaste that was over $3 originally and I got it for 50 cents! Then at Smiths, my total went down over $35 dollars after my coupons and Fresh Values card. Couponmom.com is awesome!!
