There are definitely always new things to learn and new things to try in order to keep that balance.

No I am not shocked! 🙂 As I have stepped way back from it too. I won’t say I have quit all together as I can still find coupons for some things – hair products (haven’t gone the homemade route – don’t know if that will work), makeup, and some food. Coupons themselves have really scaled back – they just aren’t as many/high value/stores don’t take as many, etc. And couple that with the fact that we are starting to eat/cook a little different. I shop sales (stock up on BOGO) at Publix more than I use coupons anymore. I am trying to use up my stockpile on some items – laundry detergent, dish detergent – then I will go homemade and not go back 🙂

Looking forward to reading more about what you are doing. And if you have other sites you can recommend reading, would love to know those too.

Christina, you will be shocked to hear that I quit using coupons! The grocery budget has gone up, but now I don’t have to resist the temptation to pick up that free-with-coupon chemical-laden Hamburger Helper/canned soup/boxed potatoes “for a busy night”. I certainly haven’t perfected our eating habits, but like you said, you have to take small steps.

And thank you so much for linking up with Healthy 2day Wednesdays as always! Hope you have a blessed week and hope you’ll be linking up this week! I also wanted to let you know we are looking for another person to co-host H2W’s with us if you are interested! (just email me!)

I think you are doing a great job! Thanks for linking up with the Thrive @ Home community. 🙂

And thank you for stopping by and commenting. We only get one shot at life, let’s do what we can within the bounds of this sin-cursed earth to keep ourselves around as long as possible!
