I really hate to say this, but I'm spending more money since I started Couponding, because I take advantage of deals on items I never bought before. I guess its an addiction I have not wanting to pass up a good deal.. I will admit every cabinet, 2 freezer, 3 Refridgerators, and pantry are full. I'm ready for Hurricane Season..LOL

AND...that's why we're all blessed because we are good stewards over what we have! I'm looking forward to my deals at WAGS today with my expiring Qs for Pringles!

I'm also looking forward to seeing my CVS buds with some other expiring Qs. I just MAY get to use my $10 off $50! I've never had that big a total! But if I work it out properly before I get there, I will end up paying a little of nothing OOP!

I agree -- I find myself doing that also -- I've decided to budget better what we need/what we use, how often we purchase so that the 'stock piles' are more realistic.

it is addicting which is why I never shop without a game plan anymore........I know how much I anticipate spending and how much I'll save and if I see a great deal I can decide if I really want it and can I keep it in my budget.....

Yeah, I know you guys non-couponers just do not get it at all!!! My mom (Hail the Coupon Queen - my source of inspiration! ) and I talk about this all the time about how relatives and friends says its too much work. We enjoy it - I can remember being a little girl and helping my mom cut, sort, and organize coupons for the sale ads for the week.

I don't have many hobbies...i'm not crafty LOL
My eyes light up when I get an envelope in the mail. I sort and plan then send on to someone else that might can use what I can't.
I enjoy getting the Sunday paper and hunting for good deals.
I only use for what we need and it's saved us. If we don't need it or use it then I send the coupon on.

Some people know how to make $$ & others know how to (not)spend it.

It's a rare breed who know how to do both effectively.

I had the pleasure of going shopping with Lucy and she made my head spin. She is definitely of the rare breed type.
