I have always been the kind of person that would run to the store every evening or every other evening if I needed a few things well not anymore, my husband would be like you just ran to the store the other night and i would say yeah your right but I forgot to grab this or this. But I have learned and trained my mind not to run to the store every time I need something, I will wait until I need atleast 4 or 5 things before I will run to the store. Ever since I have been pregnant, I have not wanted to go anywhere literally it seems, I get so tired around 6 or 7 each night and that's when my husband gets home and I don't feel like getting out, I use what energy I have to fix my lovely family a nice warm meal and, give my son a bath and then do supper dishes and chill out with my boys, and that's about it haha! I think it also has alot to do with this weather as well.
But anyway back to why couponing makes perfect sense. Stockpiling makes so much sense for so many reasons that it would take several lengthy blog posts to explore all of the benefits. Stock up when the prices are low for the products you need to live your daily life. I have just started doing this, I am stocking up on the things me and my family use the most, that way when the item is needed I have it on hand, and I don't have to make a trip to the store for one item! I think couponing is very fun, it is one of my most enjoyable hobbies, and i have met alot of wonderful people that love to do the exact same thing and we will chat about our deals and they will share tips about what works for them and vice versa!
My favorite things about couponing are Buy one get one free coupons, or getting FREE products using coupons, or getting stuff for under $1.00.
Couponing also takes off alot of stress of having to go grocery shopping because if you plan right and have the right coupons you will save over half of what you would normally spend in your shopping trip and trust me that is a huge relief. I have always hated going shopping because I think things are way overly priced and I've noticed lately that manufacturer's are downsizing there products boxes and quantities and keeping the same price as before. I hope my children learn the lessons I have learned with money, to me it doesn't matter what brand of shampoo, food, bodywash i use as long as it works in our budget and gets the job done, that's all that matters and I hope my children will feel the same way and value this like i do!
But anyway I really love to coupon and save money, you should give it a try, you will never know how enjoyable it is until you try it!=)
So stay tuned for some more tips and deals!
What about you do you agree with my post? What lessons have you learned through couponing?
