I try realllly hard to refuse to give in to it and be the smiley patron instead. To be honest, it has never made the line shorter by being the grumpy gus, and it has always returned a little joy back to the day when I choose the better option.<br /><br />And now you have me shamed about not couponing either. I have tried and failed at that so many times, I could write the book on how NOT to do it.

I do love pies and I bake a pumpkin pie from Mary's 100 lb pumpkin last year. Your oatmeal pie looks fabulous. I loved the story about the lady with the coupons. That is so amazing and so inspiring!

If we could save like that lady and get such benefits then I think it's worth it.

But it will certainly be rewarded when we stand before God! That puts a long line in perspective, doesn't it? <br /><br />You are an inspiration, friend!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057606934247237658.post-78071018573239511762014-01-29T09:12:45.370-05:002014-01-29T09:12:45.370-05:00Good for you!

One of his daughter's is an extreme couponer and took him along for one if her adventures. It is pretty amazing. I find that the coupons are for items we don't want or can't use, but I don't hesitate to use a coupon for a product that we do enjoy. I save about $10.00 a shopping trip that way. The best tip is to stay out of the store!

But that's really good! My sons clip coupons too, but they don't do that well. Maybe you got to be committed and work hard at it, lol. But it sounds like it can really be worth the effort.
