The Beginning

I guess I'll start out with a little background about me. I moved to Oklahoma about a year ago from Phoenix to join my (then) boyfriend as he completed his Masters at Oklahoma State. Living in a big city and at home- its easy to become spoiled with connivence and easy spending. Prior to moving to Oklahoma i worked 2 jobs and saved money in anticipation of being on my own and paying my own way.
I got a job working full time at a local car dealership and began trying to survive in the "real world"
I think at first, i was still under the delusion that i could come and go and spend how i'd liked. But soon i realized I had to pump the brakes and start being a little smarter with my money.
I've never been the type to really "save" as in not go out and spend money so i knew cutting off wasn't going to work for me. My (now) fiance Dustin and are are the types that like to go out and do things and i don't want to have to say no to something because i don't want to spend money. So i've decided the best way to do/buy what we want and save money is with coupons! I've become hooked on finding coupons for anything-food,beauty supplies, dog stuff, clothes, shoes anything. if i want to buy it i need to have a coupon!
I don't believe in depriving yourself and with coupons you don't have to. With this blog i hope to spotlight some great deals around Stillwater and the Oklahoma area.
So here we go!
