Thanks Wiley, I'm pretty sure
it's a woman thingy. I never did it when I was young and used to make fun of "The coupon cutters". I infered that they must've had too much time on their hands.

fwmystic, your friend sounds like
shopping has gotten obsessive rather than fun.

It's good advice not to shop with the kids.
Kids want everything they see advertised on TV.

The only thing they have good coupons for it cat litter.
The little card does mean savings, as long as they reack my buying...however, they put the wrong name on it! Machs nix.

My partner, J, does it to me all the time. He whines and pisses and moans about saving money, but then actually does nothing to follow through. Now I just say screw it all, and buy what I need.

My neighbor regularly
saves 70 - 80 percent off her grocery bill. But she clips thousands of coupons, knows what days to shop, where to shop, and makes about 12 trips.

Must be a woman thingy luv, Joyce used to do it and I don't have the patience. Besides I wish they'd stop all that discount crap and simply lower prices. Great post though and I admire your tenacity luv.

Thanks Gypsyred, sometimes
I just have to lighten-up and deal with what I usually deal with, the small stuff.

Good tips!
Also helps not to go shopping while hungry! I don't have a shaw's card but my cvs card gets completely worn out and you get extra coupons by using it as well. Thanks for the advice. You did a good job with something that isn't your "bag".
