So...we canceled our subscription to the newspaper which means I don't get the Sunday paper with the coupon inserts anymore. I just tried looking through ads for two stores where I don't really like to shop and it about drove me crazy. I don't really have the patience to inspect all the tiny, fuzzy pictures searching for an item that I can only hope is on sale...I just tried it and it gave me a headache! My friend recently suggested that I plan my weekly menu around what's on sale at the grocery store. So - I thought I'd try it and 1) I've got the headache as a souvenir and 2) I found it SO tedious. What a baby....I know. I think I'm a bit like my second son...he has to be pulled, prodded, and bribed into each change or new adventure.
Is this one of those things that I've got to learn to accept as a mom on a budget? Is there a way around scouring the Internet and ads for good deals? I've read and heard about people who go to the grocery store and walk out with $50 worth of groceries that they paid $5 for. Really...how do they do that? How do they do that without spending hours finding the best deals and driving to 50 different stores? Hmmm...I think I might be a bit grumpy about this whole coupon thing! Better change my attitude before my next trip to the store!!
