Coupons (17/365)

~*~*~


“The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, love, do not require coupons.”

TIME: 11:15 AM
PLACE: Home Sweet Home
SUBJECT: Coupons

I am not ashamed to admit that I am frugal (not to be confused with cheap). If I can purchase something I need (or want) and pay less for it at a thrift store, garage sale or by using a coupon, I will. One of the things that bothered me when husband and I were together was that he refused to use coupons. If we were going to a restaurant and I had a coupon for that restaurant, he would refuse to use the coupon preferring to pay full price. He felt using coupons was something people did because they couldn't afford to pay full price. He didn't want people to think he couldn't afford the things he wanted.

I believe using coupons is smart money management. I now spend a few minutes on Sunday mornings clipping coupons and have no issue using them to save on the things I must buy anyway.
