what better than to be paid to shop!!=)

i have always loved shopping, but now that i can get paid to shop i love it even more. I was all geared to shop at walgreens today, so that i could use my handy dandy $10 off 40 coupon. Little did i know, that it would work out so great! i sat down for 1 hour and gathered all the info i need from other blogs and websites. I took all my coupons and organized them. I knew what i wanted and had a back up plan in place. I hadnt taken advantage of any of the FARS yet and im glad i hadnt. I ended up doing 2 transactions, because we needed some more free stuff when i got home! =)
