[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 442986, member: 1233"] When you first learn something you are not good at it. You didn't tie your shoes the first time, or walk, or even use a debit card. Couponing and bargain hunting are SKILLS like anything else. Start easy, accept that you will make mistakes and be NICE to yourself. Tell yourself that you learned you need to keep to a list and be strict with Tony rather than to let him buy whatever. But you LEARNED that this is needed today!! You LEARNED - which is GOOD! By the way, STOP TELLING MY FRIEND SHE INHALES AND IS ROTTEN!!!! NO ONE is allowed to tell my friends things like that - ESP when they are NOT TRUE!! You are a newbie, and you made mistakes. It happens. You spent money at a store. You didn't go and spend the last pennies you had, take food out of your children's mouths or anything like that. You didn't go blow twice what you bring in each year at a casino in three hours, so what did you do that was so wrong??? Also start a price book. Write down ten items you use each week and what the price is at your fave stores. You drink Diet Coke, so the book should look like this: Diet coke 2L: Walmart: 1.25 CVS 2.19 Lowe Food .99 MIlk skim gal: 3.59 5.44 etc... You actually put the numbers in columns for the stores, with the stores up above. THen each time you go to the store you add five or ten things and if a price is different when you pick up the diet coke you change it to the right one. THen when you look at your store ads you will know if it is worth getting or not. I would owrk on the price book for a few weeks and only do one or two coupon deals or just the fliers from one store when you go to do price matching. Then work up to the couponing and making sure you get the best deals. Keep a calculator with you so that you don't get confused, and do NOT be shy about saying "Wait a minute, I am confused" [/QUOTE]
