As I stated in my first post, my husband was not so happy when I started bringing home bag after bag of stuff that we wouldn't immediately be using. I kept doing it anyway. Anyone who knows me well isn't surprised by that fact. Eventually, I would ask him when was the last time I asked him to run by the store to pick up....toothpaste, toilet paper, juice, etc. Silence.
After several trips to the grocery store and watching our total go down quite a large sum after coupons, he learned to give me fair warning about when we might be headed to the grocery store so I would have time to gather my coupons. He now knows to make a grocery list so I can match that against all of my coupons.
In 8 weeks, we will welcome our daughter into the world. Thanks to coupons, I shouldn't have to buy too many packs of diapers along the way. I think my husband best described my diaper stockpile as the start of my own "mini Sam's" store in our enclosed garage.
So, give your family time to adjust. If you can get it free or cheap now with coupons, then get it. More than likely, that opportunity won't present itself again!
