Talk to Me Tuesday- Only Buy What You Will Use!

Today’s post is in response to a question I get a lot:

Question: “Do you buy a lot of stuff that you don’t use when you follow all these sales and coupons?”

Answer: No, I don’t but it can be hard sometimes not too:) When I first started, I will admit that I bought a few too many bottles of Pledge and toothpaste. It can be so tempting when things are free or a great deal. The thing to remember is that the whole point of all this is to SAVE MONEY!! Even if things are a good deal, it is important that you only buy what your family needs. Building up your stockpile is important to keep you from overspending, just make sure your stockpile is full of things that you and your family will eat. You will not be able to buy everything your family needs on sale. There are times where I buy things that are not on sale and I don’t have a coupon for, I know gasp. The coupon and deal game has to work for you to help you save money. Focus on buying what you need and doing what you can to keep your out of pocket expense as low as possible.
