I decided that I need to spruce up my blog's design. I've made some positive changes, I think. There are a few other things I need to figure out, but right now I need more coffee more than anything else.
So, I never established any rules for my couponing and after talking to a friend last night I realized I need to write them down. Here are my rules, which are different in some ways from other couponers, but I think they'll work for me:
1. Never buy anything we don't use or that I can't re-sell quickly.
We = Me, Frank (my boyfriend) and Fatty (our adorable feline)
Some couponers will buy items they can get for practically free and donate them, which is a great thing to do for your community, however, I don't think I have reached this level of couponing, yet.
2. Only buy items that I have a coupon for OR that are on sale.
This rule may get tricky when it comes to fresh produce and meats, but I've actually purchased some fresh fruit coupons with purchase of Kashi products, so here's to hoping!
3. Exercise self-control
Just because I have 20 coupons does not mean I should or have the storage space to buy 20. I can buy 5 or 10 and sell the other coupons on Ebay.
4. Have patience
Wait for the sale! I should never use a coupon on a full price item.
Ok, that's all for now. I'm sure I'll be adding and adjusting my rules as I go along on this journey.
