Perhaps the smart thing to do should be clipping coupons and save some much needed money or watch 10 episodes of extreme cheapstakes and start filling my ketchup bottles with McDonald's free ketchup packages but if I ever do that and start pilling up on dog food, when I actually have cats, buy enough no name brand toilet paper to wrap the whole wide world around like 6 times or replacing cat food instead of tuna because I'm saving .30 cents I would be A)Broke B) Unemployed C) Divorced because Hubs must likely with the kids support will kick me to the curve, LOL...I will keep my eyes peeled for booze coupons...at least alcohol doesn't have a "better before" date!

I don't know if I could spend this much time clipping coupons and what about the brands and things that are offering it. How do I get the most out of it? I think some of the brands I buy barely have coupons or true sales - this is what happens when you try to use more natural, ecofriendly products. You end up making things at home for a cheaper price instead of using so many coupons lol.

I've had so many expire in my wallet, that I don't even bother with them anymore. I know me. I don't have the motivation, drive, or memory to bother with a single one of them.<br />Now, for the people who make it a lifestyle. I think it's a disease. Like obsessive handwashing. I mean, like you said, what's the point of having 96 of anything if you don't use it, OR EVEN IF YOU DO USE IT, you spent half your damn week to get it for free....I don't have that kind of time. There has to be better things in life going on than to spend your time couponing to get paper towels for two cents....I mean, seriously...garden or something. <br />Then there are the in-betweeners. The ones that coupon "normal". That keep a few here and there, and use them moderately and save what I still deem as a impressive amount of money. THOSE are the people I think are doing it right. They aren't giving up their lives over it, ya know?
