as soon as they go on sale, you can't use the coupon anymore. the sales are never as good as the 40% or 50% off coupons. they use the coupons to get you into the store, then you give up and buy sales items because you're already there.

I buy all my El Burns books with coupons

i'm trying very hard not to buy any more books. i have too many books as it is, also too many mags. i would rather have more space for other things.
i plan to start reading the older mags and discarding them as i go. i would offer them, but the shipping is too much.

maybe i'll do freecycle. they come and take them because it's local.

i, too, try to buy the most expensive stuff with the coupons. i'm taking my coupons to pheonix and los angelos over the holidays. who knows, right?
don't leave home without them!

I learn a new and simpler technique with every El Burns book or video.
She is amazing. You never have a problem with her patterns.

I sell my old mags on ebay and can usually send first class in a manila envelope to keep the shipping cost down. I always charge a flat fee that covers the fees and the shipping. If they buy a few, use media mail shipping and the cost stays down too. Good way to make a few extra dollars!
