Today’s Argument: Shopping takes longer [if you coupon].
My Opinion: For a final argument this one is possibly the weakest.
This one is simply not true – at least not for me. I usually go coupon shopping one day a week and “other” shopping (when I purchase my produce, etc.) on different day. With my list and coupons in hand (and organized before I get into the store), my coupon shopping trips are the quickest. It wasn’t that way in the beginning, but now that I am a “pro” I am pretty speedy!
The author says that spending more time in the store could lead to more impulse shopping, “thus negating the savings.” Even if my coupon shopping trip did take longer, I would not impulse shop. Thanks to Pinching Your Pennies, couponing and self control, I am no longer an impulse shopper.
I haven’t found a reason against couponing that has changed my mind, but if you think you have one – please leave it in the comments.

Walgreens: Carefree, Clean & Clear and Enfagrow!
I made a couple of quick run to Walgreens this week that worked out well!
Here is what I managed to buy without too much effort.
- 4 Clean & Clear Body Wash $2.99- BOGO sale- BOGO MQ = free
- 3 Carefree $0.99 – free MQ = free
- Enfamil Enfagrow $4.99 (75% off) – $2MQ = $2.99
I tried to use the $2 Walgreen Q from the Wags Baby Book on the Enfamil too. However the clearanced Enfamil didn’t scan at the register, so they just rang it up as general merchandise. So the Wags Q wouldn’t scan. But it was still a great deal and I couldn’t pass it up. I know the food pantry would love to have it.
I always make a habit of finding the clearance section at Walgreens, it seems to vary greatly by store but you never know what you might find!
I stopped at a few stores looking for the body wash, but the shelves seem to be cleared everywhere. I actually picked up my 4 bottles early Sunday morning. If you find the shelves empty you can always ask an employee when their next shipment comes in or just get a rain check.

Today’s Argument: You might become a slave to coupons.
My Opinion: Can you hear me snorting from where you’re sitting? Sorry, “slave to coupons.” Again the author brings up the lack of choice once you start couponing. Such a weird perspective – that we give up my free will once we start couponing.
I believe her point here is that we might have a difficult time purchasing items at full price once we become coupon savvy. Well, she is right. After I had been couponing for several months I went on a trip. I did not take any snack items with me thinking I’d just buy stuff once I got there. I went into the store to purchase some cheese & crackers and a few other snacky items and I had major sticker shock. I hadn’t paid full price for crackers in so long that I just could not believe they were $4+ a box or some outrageous thing. I rarely have made that mistake since then. I tend to take snack items with me when possible.
However, this does not mean that I never spend full price on things. For example, my (adorable) nephews were staying with me last Summer. On my way to take them home we stopped at a gas station for gas. They asked if they could buy a treat. Pringles at a gas station! Whew! But I love these children and one of the reasons that I am frugal is so that I can occasionally splurge. I buy my nephews treats, I buy nice handbags and sunglasses (although I do buy them from 6pm.com so they are still screamin’ deals!). I splurge!
I don’t let my couponing keep me from enjoying life. In fact, I feel that couponing has freed me to enjoy my life even more!
