The end of the world wasn't

Well I knew this would happen, the end didn't or more accurately rapture didn't happen. So I suppose e all continue on prepping for the next big thing 2012 I guess. I honestly do not think anything will happen then. There are a lot of odd dates this year and next in numerology but I do not think much of that system either. What we have to work and worry for are more of the same things we see everyday like the tornados and the earthquakes and hurricanes. Not some massive repeat of an ice age or god coming to force us to repent for our wrongs.

If rapture happened the only innocence taken would be unborn children. Everyone sins.

I am but a few posts away from 100 so maybe I'll get a guest poster sometime. Until then it's just me. I am not being a good prepped or mimilist right now I am in one of my moods. Tying to find my own happiness right now and failing and faulting with my self for trying. But I am still here lIke everyone else.

Extreme couponing wtf?

Well it has been awhile hasn't it? its been a bad two weeks for me really, I am typing currently with a healing broken hand, and a healing scratched cornea in my right eye. I have been kinda out of commission for the internet, Yet I still had to work. Today on my first day off in awhile and not injured too badly I made it my mission to attempt this couponing thing I have been seeing on Television. Last night after returning home from work, watched an episode of this show Extreme couponing and started looking online, my wife informed me of a website called southernsaver.com and I really had to go on help from my wife since the show its self does not show the store names, or the websites where they get the coupons or how they get so many.
found a deal on this website at CVS Pharmacy for 5 for 5 on floss, tooth brushes, tooth paste and a few other random soaps. Then they show a printable coupon for reach brand floss a dollar off, and coupons 2 dollars off two reach tooth brushes, I print off enough of these coupons to get 4 packages of floss and 6 toothbrushes, this should be two of the 5 for 5 deals, for free.

At the store, there were 4 floss packages, and no toothbrushes, so we attempt going to another store, other store there is only one package of floss. In the end we go back to the first store, get the 4 packages of floss, no toothbrushes, and a bottle of Listerine that was included in the 5 for 5 deal. my total? It should have been 1.08 by my logic, a dollar for the item I did not have a coupon for and the NC state sales tax for that item, No the total was 1.40 I paid sales tax on 5 items, 4 of which were free. I was taxed by the state for something that was free, do help me understand this?
