WOOO!! Go Coupons!
We never did find the Nexxus a someone cleared out every pad in the city the first day they went up but they were a great coupon. We stocked up on toilet paper , multibionta and toothpaste this year as we have so much of everything else. Coupons aren’t as lucrative as they once were back in 2010 and 2011 but there are still savings to be had and we will keep on using them.
