When you think about why you are couponing is it just to help yourself and your family? For me that is not the only reason. I also help others with what I get. I pick up things with certain people in mind, In the past year I have blessed at least eight other people with my coupon shopping.
If I can be a blessing to someone else, why would I stop doing it. I know for sure my family has also enjoyed the items I get shopping and we were not included in my count of eight.
Even though I shop for my family and others, I still don't buy everything just because it is an awesome price. I try and be realistic. For example this week at CVS I can get a 4 ct of Advil PM for free. I have three or four coupons so I really can go a few times this week and get a few bottles. However, I don't have anyone in line to give them to. I try not to get something if I don't know where I am going to donate it to or who I can bless with it.
If you don't already, think of others as you shop. It might even motive you to dive into couponing just a little bit more. Or it could be what brings you to finally start to coupon. Think about it!!!
