Why I choose to coupon

I choose to use coupons.   I am by no means an extreme couponer as seen on TV, but I do spend quite a bit of my time looking at coupon blogs and going to stores to get their deals.  I have managed to save my family a whole lot of money.  Before we moved, we lived off of our stock pile (with the exception of fresh veggies and fruit of course) for about 3 months.  We were able to save that grocery money and apply it to the down payment needed for our new home.  What a blessing!  It does take time and discipline but I believe it is well worth it!  Yesterday I went to CVS and spent $3.84.  What did I get for that?  4 bottles of shampoo, 1 bottle of hair spray, 1 tube of Bengay (I use it to help with tension headaches), 3 toothbrushes-1 battery powered and 2 bottles of Dawn dishwashing detergent!  Well worth it I would say.
