[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 411579"] Well, it takes less time to write the list and attach the coupons than it does to actually run to the store, so you could get some time there. When Dad wrote out grocery lists, if he had a coupon for something he would put a C in a circle next to it, like the copyright symbol, so he would check the coupon to get the right brand and remember to use the coupon. Of course, Dad did all the caretaking and everything anyway. Now I'm on the flip side, being raised like that I know more about being a Dad, but I have to be both Mom and Dad and I'm basically just winging it here. Working only part-time hoovers for the paycheck, but it also allows me a little breathing time between when I get off work and when she gets out of school more often than not. Not enough time for a good workout or bubble bath, but enough most days that I can make a fast store run without dragging her along or just have some quiet reading time for a bit. [/QUOTE]
