I have a friend who is the couponing queen. I actually saw one of her CVS receipts, and from that store only since the beginning of the year, she had saved over $7000! I have to admit, I am a bit jealous. I wish I had the time, patience, and skill to figure couponing out. I went to a class once, but I left so confused that I didn't really get too into it. The best deal I've gotten is a free razor because I figured out one deal and I was quite proud.
About a month back I asked her if she would be interested in swapping stuff. I would give her some of my clothes for some of her stuff. I gave her about 3 bags of summer clothes and here is what she gave me.
Quite cool, huh? I thought so. This is definitely over $100 worth of stuff that I don't have to buy for a while. Then a couple weeks later she brought me a bag of dish soap, allergy medicine, toothbrushes, gum, and some kleenex.
I thought this was a pretty good swap. I have tons of winter clothes that I don't want so I may see if she's up for another swap.
Do you coupon? Do you ever swap stuff like this with others?
It's fun.

Wow! You made out like a bandit! I like saving, but I don't think I could ever save that much. Haha.
Wow! That is a great idea!you got so much stuff.
We don't have couponing in London, but I've seen shows on it, and from what I saw (and can see from these pictures) is that you end up with loaaads of the same thing. I live in a tiny apartment and if I had anymore than 1 of everything I would have NO space to put it. I would proabbly do it with food, but... I dunno, I wouldn't 10 tubs of peanut butter just because I'd saved money on it...
I am currently hosting a blog hop over at my blog :-)

I wish in the UK they had something like couponing, although like yourself i might just find it a bit much to understand! Good haul from your friend though x
