My latest big obssession has become couponing. I made one half-hearted couponing trip to Harris Teeter during Triple Coupons week, and walked out with $50 worth of much-needed groceries for $20. That was a big thrill.
Then I started watching a couple of episodes of "Extreme Couponing" and saw the much more impressive discounts self-taught housewives were receiving. And I thought, "I can do that!" I worked as an accounting tech for six years. I managed a retail store for three. Now I work in finance for a state government division. If anyone can take obssessive organizing and use it to maximize cost-effectiveness, it's a numbers nerd like me.
