Read this post today and thought id share. I get a lot of stuff for free or very cheap and once in a while it hurts to pay full price. Like when we went on vacation and xander got sick I spent $25 on medicines I knew I had at home (and cost me $0). But we needed it and I bought the ones I had at home so I would know if we liked it.
however yesterday I refused to pay $.99 (after a $3 coupon) for body wash. Because in my mind body wash should be free and I had enough at home already. I actually laughed at myself for not wanting to pay for it. but then again I didn’t need it.
As I have couponed more and more I have actually found myself LESS worried with the cost of items. I splurge on things I might not otherwise buy. And when I do have to pay full price for something I shrug and say well its been free the last 10 times I bought it; so paying full price is nothing once in a while.
Check out the post on one of my favorite blogs that inspired me. And then share your thoughts. http://hip2save.com/2011/06/extreme-couponing-never-paying-full-price.html/comment-page-4#comments
Couponing is all about finding balance otherwise coupons will rule your life. Heres to everyone finding their balance.
