another weirdness
I save coupons for things I know I can't afford, even with the coupon, such as fancy-dancy hair products that I have sampled and loved. I keep them around until the expiration date just in case I should win the lottery and be able to afford said product. As though if I won the lottery, I would remain concerned about using coupons.

release thyself from your paperwork bondage. thou keeper of receipts and sundries.
I do this same thing! Why? And why did I subscribe only to the Sunday paper for like six months, just for the coupons, which I then never used? By my estimate, coupons have actually COST me $16.
Ah coupons. The lure of saving so much money... afterall you would pick up a quarter if you saw it on the ground. It is not always a productive use of your time. If you think of your time as being worth say $10 per hour. It's a nice round number, and you spend fifteen minutes looking through the ads and clipping the coupons and deciding which store has the most things on sale that you will actually buy... uh, that;s $2.50, to make it worth your while you should save more than that. If it isn't satisfying, move on to enjoyable tasks. Life is too short.
