Coupons...

I can't tell you the number of hours each week I put into clipping and organizing coupons. I often wonder if someone were paying me by the hour to do this how much I would make. What I can tell you is that for pennies on the dollar I am able to bring home quality items that my family needs and uses. I am reaching the point where my shopping trips are getting smaller because my stockpile has grown so big. It is a good feeling to have a nice supply of things on hand should something happen and I am not able to get to the store or I can't afford to go shopping. I also think I am teaching my children good lessons about budgeting and stretching a dollar.
