i have been going through this alot too and i wrestle with myself like im going to be upset if i dont do it and sometimes i blow it off altogether and sometimes i just go and do it...like you said six months ago this wouldnt of even crossed my mind to skip free and cheap deals, but as with anything after you get used to getting things so cheap all the time its not as thrilling as the first couple months...even now i dont chase every cvs deal i go there once every couple weeks now when before i was there a couple times a week at least...i think it goes in waves...after you have been couponing for a while you see the coupons that regularly come out and the sales your grocery store usually has so it seems if i skip it there will be the same exact thing going on in a month or two anyways....but the big fear is....what if this is the last sale!!!????? i just run out of time also to really chase the deals but then every couple weeks ill take a sunday and go browse coupon shopping at all the different stores and i think that revives me(and cleans out alot of coupons!) if i were you i would just go and get them since you already have the coupons pulled for it...just to have to put them all back is annoying to me so i would go use them up lol and i think everyone gets in the rut eventually till that one sale or weird coupon comes out then it sparks up the thrill of it all again
