Last week I was bummed I “only” got 3 free Nivea body washes at Walgreens before they sold out. This week I’ve forgotten about Nivea and am interested in other freebies. That’s how it goes, there’s usually something good the next week too so no sense obsessing on one thing. I don’t like to drive in the rain, but twice now I’ve driven in the rain to Kmart for double coupon day! Couldn’t pass it up, got great deals and I gained some confidence driving in rain. So couponing can be a positive thing!

I love this post! I think you really touched on something there. I was doing the “couponing” so much, that I have not shopped for over a month (except perishables… milk, eggs, etc). I STILL have a freezer filled with food and an empty freezer in the garage. I am so thankful that I overcame that need to hit EVERY DEAL. Now I am seeing true savings (money, time and stress).

oh. my. WORD. I could have written this post myself! I will never forgive myself for the day I forgot to hand over my colgate coupons – even though they were FREE after EB anyway – I still cringe just thinking about that! What a great post!

I understand the CVSing, mostly, but not Walgreens. Do they have some type of point system or ECBs?

This is hirious and describes me to a "T"! I beat myself up so much over a couple of dollars. And I started at one point to feel that GREED coming on to...I gotta have 20! No, 30! No, ALL OF THEM!

That mindsight it exhausting & sooo not right. Now I limit myself and I don't spend a dime (no matter what it is) if I don't need it or won't be able to gift/give it away.

I'm a work in a progress...but I'm getting there!

Great post, Alyssa. I remember reading it on Coupon Cravings.

This is a great reminder on how we can take lots of our frugal ways too seriously. I am always in need of a good reminder that my focus should ultimately be on the King and not the stuff.

I’m taking a break from Walgreens(I’m almost happy on some level we dont have a CVS here in Colorado) after I had a mini mental breakdown when I didnt get a RR print out for some shaving cream b/c I used a coupon or something like that(I’m still sort of confused!) Well I started to argue with the cashier(who had always been super nice to me and all my q’s) and demanded to talk to a manager and then almosted started to cry I was so mad at myself for messing up the transaction in my car

Great Post
