Oh, the Irony

I recently discovered some websites that link to all sorts of printable coupons. I actually got to print out a few of them. Then, guess what happened? My computer decided that it doesn’t like printers any more! I did everything I know to fix it, including a system restore and reinstalling my printer drivers, but nothing worked. So now I can’t print coupons or anything else, and I can’t afford to get someone to fix it. I might not even bother, because when we get our tax refund I’m going to try my best to get a new computer.

I’ve been fortunate enough to find some sites that link to places where you can get free coupons by mail, so I’ve been doing that. And there are always those nifty online coupons. You don’t have to go to the trouble of printing anything, so it doesn’t matter if your printer (or computer) is being uncooperative. And there’s no waste of paper, either.

As soon as I get some money, I’m going to try to find some good online clothing coupons. Hubby and I could both seriously use some new clothes. I can’t remember the last time I bought any for myself, and the last jeans I bought for Hubby are badly stained because he had to wear them to work before he got his uniforms. By shopping online I can get a much better selection than I can around here, and I can compare prices easily. Between that and the availability of coupon codes, I think I can do better than I would locally.

I’ve got work to do right now, but I’ll try to get around to posting links to some of those printable coupon sites soon. Just because I can’t take advantage of them doesn’t mean I’m unwilling to share!
