My Name is Becky & I'm a coupon addict....

I'll write more about my blogging hiatus later.
For now it's sufficient to say that couponing has become a major distraction in my life.

You know if you're a coupon addict if you experience the following:
1. You have more coupon blogs on your reader than you do blogs by friends/relatives (this goes the same for if you "like" more companies than you have "friends" on facebook).
2. Your toddler says to you "I want that coupon" and yells at you if he finds one of his coupons in the trash.
3. You have a coupon binder or mini-accordian file that is more than 1 inch thick.
4. You experience a type of high when you grab your Sunday paper
5. You don't even read your Sunday paper 50% of the time - you just grab the coupon inserts & add them to your pile
6. You've contemplated or you have more than one subscription to the paper- just for those coupons
7. You learn to recognize cashiers & know some of their names
8. You have more tubes of toothpaste (or multipacks of toothbrushes or packs of disposable razors) in your stockpile than you do members of your family.
9. You feel sad any time you have to pay full price for an item - and rethink that purchase at least twice before buying.
10. Your printer always has a coupon printed out every time you pick up something else from it.
11. You've started to look past the glares you receive in check out lines and realize they are just jealous.
12. You're jealous of the Extreme Couponing chicks you see on TLC or read about on the internet.

Remember - acceptance is the first step to recovery.
I have a problem with at least half of these (yes Buddy likes coupons for anything to do with Cars).
