I had a huge pantry and decided to stock up on stuff. Then I fell into the habit of buying things because I had a coupon...and then not eating/using those things and throwing them out later. I realized that this was not, in fact, saving me any money. <br /><br />So I will now sometimes use coupons, when I happen to come across one that for something that I use often or when I get the ones from the grocery store for $1 off my next order. Also...when we moved into the new house we got a ton of coupons for $ off order and take out meals, so I've been using those. <br /><br />But I'm with you...I'm not going to become an insane couponer any time soon!Shanahttp://www.fumblingtowardsnormalcy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455727290495340679.post-38465153213986227552011-04-07T09:56:08.297-07:002011-04-07T09:56:08.297-07:00I think excessive couponing is insane.

Plus my dollar per hour is worth more than the time it takes to plan, clip, shop, gas, etc. They need to do a cost benefit analysis to include their time spent to offset the savings.donatelli98https://www.blogger.com/profile/00369553422991011282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455727290495340679.post-68230293757540366872011-04-07T09:44:59.933-07:002011-04-07T09:44:59.933-07:00I have been hearing a lot about this show on the I...I have been hearing a lot about this show on the Internet today. It sounds pretty crazy. I am a half ass couponer. My co-workers are really in to it so I started trying a little bit. There are websites you can look at that tell you what is on sale for the week and what coupons to use. So some weeks I will look at it and print coupons or take ones I already have and save a lot. I got some free noodles and cheap pasta sauce, etc. And I would never do multiple transactions. But some weeks I'm just like, that is way to much work, I'm just going to the store and buy stuff the way I usually do. Plus I only store food in my kitchen and I don't even have a pantry so no crazy stocking up for me. A lot of the stuff I buy doesn't have coupons that goes with it. But from what I've heard, the people on this show are crazy.JMJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817081026899158501noreply@blogger.com
