Alright folks, at the risk of sounding snooty, I have a huge confession to make. I HATE coupons. I will on occasion use one coupon and one coupon only. Anymore than that and I drive myself crazy.
It's not that I don't think they will help. In fact, I know they will. It's not even that I am too busy to clip them, I would love to sit down and plan out my shopping trip according to the coupons that I so diligently searched out. The real reason? I'm just to prideful. I am scared to death what the people behind me are thinking. I am also afraid of making them angry as I take forever to check out because of my coupons.
Now, this does not mean I think anything bad about those of you that use coupons. Well, I kinda do, I am super jealous of you all. I want so badly to take my scissors to the paper and save me some money. I just can't pull myself to do it.
Why on earth do I care so much about what others think? Who cares if they think I am poor? I mean I kind of am. Ha! And who cares if they think it is annoying that I take an hour to check out? There are other lines they can get in. So friends, that there is a true confession of a shopaholic. Pray for me. Help me to get over myself! I want to use some coupons!!!!!
I sat down the other day and went through some online coupon sites. Do you know what I discovered? I could have saved $21.50 on my groceries by simple checking a few coupons and hitting print and I still didn't do it. Horrible right? I'm not sure how much cheaper my groceries would have been because I did purchase store brand items and not the ones I saw on the site but still!
So that is my ultimate confession. I am a coupon hating, people fearing wimp. Judge me all you want!
Just have them ready to go when your at the register. Literally takes 20 seconds for the cashier to scan. I'm a professional "couponer" and love getting stuff for free or on the cheap!
