I made a point of getting on mailing lists for the formula and baby food I use so I get some coupons sent to me for that. I also check the ad packs each week to see where the best sales are for the items I generally buy - but that's the end of it.Mommycrathttp://mommycrat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540785584118987540.post-64645214165013015652011-01-04T22:30:27.824-06:002011-01-04T22:30:27.824-06:00That totally cracks me up!

Plus, like you, I don't need 10 boxes of anything just to get $.35 off!! I do like the occasional $1.00 off or buy one get one...but those are rare. <br /><br />Take a deep breath and know that there are others out there who are right there with you.

Seeing the "you saved$xxx" at the bottom of the receipt was thrilling and a great pat-on-the-back for all the fun, er, I mean work I put into the whole process.<br />I even managed to keep it up with the first two boys. But after #3 my interest began to wain (and, honestly, that's about when we moved to TN, so income had improved...maybe laziness and feeling that it wasn't NECESSARY then contributed). Since having #4 and feeling poor again I've wanted to start it back up, but now I feel so overwhelmed by the process. Forget the 70's and 80's, couponing has changed a ton in just the last 5 years. I can't keep up. And even when I put forth a noble effort, and spend the time hunting the deals and making lists and gathering the right coupons to score some great couponing prize, it ends up blowing up in my face - I inevitably have LAST weeks mailer (so deals are expired), or I don't have the right store card with me or someone spills their milk all over my stack of freshly-printed coupons. <br />I just don't think some free deodorant and cheap razors are worth the frustration.Melibeehttp://anotherlunch.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540785584118987540.post-63490524232870355722011-01-04T22:30:15.553-06:002011-01-04T22:30:15.553-06:00Funny post, but how true.

I also know stores use coupons as a ploy to get me to purchase things I don't need - boo. I save more $$ by buying only what we do need.tvs takenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540785584118987540.post-48477627269703172272011-01-04T22:29:33.386-06:002011-01-04T22:29:33.386-06:00I'm a huge couponer!

My hubby's grandma can save over $100 per shopping trip with her coupons...because she loves it like a hobby which is crazy to me but, props to her for saving moolah I guess. I'm with you though...I loathe the entire experience so I never shop with coupons...ever!caseyhttp://jcmfamily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
