Getting back that Coupon Groove ...

SnookiBear · 06-04-2009, 08:56 PM

I lost my coupon groove for a while and I'm going to get it back! With so much going on, I just put couponing aside. So I went shopping at WalMart the other day without any coupons and I was disguisted with myself. My binder is empty and if I do use coupons, its only like $30 savings when I used to save more than $80 each time.
So, Sarah is getting her groove back!

Has anyone else fallen off the bandwagon?

I have too! There just haven't been good coupons out there and/or no good sales to go with them.

It's true! At one time, groceries were kinda cheap but goodness, not lately. I love the frozen Betrocci (sp) meals and they usually about $7.xx not on sale at the local Weis Market. Last week, they were $10.xx!! That was crazy! I went to Walmart and they were $6.00 each.

I'm there too. I cancelled our paper delivery...they raised the rates 50 %!!! And, then, got busy and didn't get the Sunday paper. But, now I am determined, and ready to save money!!

When I got pregnant this time and was so sick, I totally got out of coupons. I didnt use any, get the paper, nothing. I would just run to walmart and buy whatever I wanted. I didnt care. That went on for 5 months.

But now that I am feeling better, I am back into coupons. The past few weeks I have been doing great with sales & coupons. I feel alot better about it!

Now that my son has been born and we are re-establishing some sort of schedule, I need to get my coupon stash back, update my website and begin trading again. I miss the days of sending and receiving envelopes full of coupons and saving all kinds of money at the checkout!

I've had times where I don't coupon as much. I don't totally stop, but I just don't use as many or pay as much attention clipping & sorting and finding deals. Right now I'm really doing well though. I have a binder now for all my coupons, which has helped a lot. We've been saving A TON lately. It takes a lot of time, but when I really get into it, I do really well!
