When I look at deals I try to find first the ones that are free. For a while I tried to only buy the free or as close to free as I could, but then I started thinking about it. If I am saving anything on it, I am still saving. As a rule I try to buy things that give me a 50% or more savings. This doesn't work for everything though that my family uses. I don't often have a coupon for Milk and end up going to BJ's to get our milk.
There are times I go shopping with my son and he asks for things. In the past if I had a coupon at home for it I might tell him to wait and was tempted to do the same recently. He asked for something that I had a coupon for, but I forgot my coupon binder at home. No started to come out of my mouth, but I told him yes even though we were paying full price.
I love getting things free, but have learned that not everything will I be able to get free. Whatever savings I get is better than no savings.
