I like being able to afford several things in the pantry or bathroom closet so I don't have to run out and buy something every time a bottle runs out. I never felt like I could afford to have several items lined up when I did not coupon.

I also have more money for myself I have noticed. I usually spend it on the kids, but I recently went on a big shopping spree for myself (I think it was $125 or something, so probably not BIG to most people) and got 5 shirts and 3 pair of jeans. Now all th emoms at preschool are asking me hwo I lost so much weight. It's really just 15 lbs, so I just told them I finally bought clothes that fit. That is all thanks to COUPONS.
