I hear you.. I never was a "coupon" person. But I have in the last year
become one. I actually get a sense of satisfaction when I do well at the
grocery now. Last time I did the bulk shopping, I saved $65 and net cost
was $111.

My latest life motto is "A dollar saved is just as good any dollar made".
