some of you may remember a while back, i think it's been about two years, when i was coupon happy. I mean, i was nuts. but i was determined that i wasn't going to do what most people do, and buy a whole bunch of stuff that i wouldn't normally, just because i had a coupon. so, i didn't.
i am happy to say that because i stocked up on things that we needed and I knew that we would need in the future, that we still haven't run out of most things in our house. i'm only realizing the ramifications of it now, as we are getting closer to the point where we are going to need to restock. but seriously, the weekends spent clipping and the few trips to K-Mart when they had triple coupons...all worth it.
what does this mean for me? It's meant not going to the grocery store and paying top price for shampoo when i ran out, or shaving cream, or dishwashing detergent, or aluminum foil....the list goes on. it's meant that when i'm at a store and i see something that i use on a sale, i buy it then, rather than waiting...because in the end, i'm spending that money....on gas and on the higher price. this discovery was awesome. i seriously didn't realize how profound it would be...until this time. but wow, was it worth it. i'm going to do another run of it again. you never know when stores will go out of business or stop doing triple coupons....so it's worth it.
thrifty!
