Coupon Fiction
Okay I started using coupons this Sunday. Huge huge mistake. I went and only bought stuff I didn't use. Like what you say? Well I bought 2 haagen-daz and 2 drumstick packs for $6. Sure great deal, but my DH was pissed. Why?
Because I bought ice cream. I also bought M&Ms for $2.49 for 2 huge bags, but it's candy. What else? I bought a can of oust air freshner for 79 cents. Great deal from $3.79 but I don't need it and I've never bought it before.
I also bought daisy razors 10 pack for $2.99 but I didn't need it. I also bought fructise shampoo for $1.99 but I didn't need it. I bought a colgate toothpaste, listerine for "free" although I had to pay for it to CVS bonus bucks next month. Same with vaseline hand lotion I paid $2.99 for a huge bottle
Yep so I spent way more than I would have without coupons. I have this horrible mentality of I'm spending more money to save money. Along with this I pissed off DH because I bought junk and crap.
I thought I was going to save a ton of money. Like all these people who feed a family of 5 for $250. Yet where's my savings? Instead I bought more stuff.
