My wife and I walked into the grocery store the other day. Out of habit, we picked up the coupon book they provide right inside the door. As we walked through the store, she looked through the coupon book, and told me about the good deals. At the end of our trip, we ended up buying about $40 of stuff we had no intention of buying — because they were all great deals!

I think coupons are great, but they can be bad for impulse shoppers like us in cases like this — just because something is cheap doesn’t mean you’re saving money.. you can save more by not purchasing the item to start with!!
