My biggest mistake has been not staying consistent with couponing. As life gets crazy....I decide that I don't have time to read the boards, clip the coupons, watch the sales....I just run to the store willy nilly buying things we need that day....paying full price....no coupons............yikes then I snap back into reality and start to stockpile again. I have to drive across town to buy an out of town newspaper to get good coupons because the local paper puts out the icky edition. So I have to pay full price for each copy of the paper that I buy. Sometimes I don't make it to the newsstand before they run out.....then I am out of luck!!! I am finding that couponing is now becoming more necessary and not just a hobby. The best thing is how hanging out on these boards has affected my other shopping habits. I can't imagine paying retail full price for anything!!!!
