I Wonder Sometimes How Much Time People Use Just Trying To Save Money.

Theres a point for me where too much time isn't worth saving more and more money. Examples of this would be trying to find so many coupons to use. It just takes up too much time after so long. Time is worth more than money after so long.

Yeah, time is definitely money too. I personally only do things that are simple and easy to do, and do not require a lot of effort, since I am quite busy enough as it is. And all that adds up too! So I do agree with you!

It's a bit different in the states as I know a lot of in-store savings are coupon based, but here in the UK very few of our cheapest buys come from coupon useage.
I think it depends what you enjoy - if being thrifty gets to you or isn't what you enjoy, then fair enough, but for some people - like me - seeing the money add up can be very enjoyable... Though we dont always get too much choice in being frugal - it's a must rather than a preference at some times in one's life.

I can depend on what you do with the time once you've saved it. If you were going to sit and watch some trashy TV then half an hour clipping coupons would be a better wat to spend it. It also depends how much the coupons "pay" you and how much you save on your shopping.

The time you spend saving money depends on your ways on how to save money. Like for me, I would sometimes walk than take a taxi or bus, so that's about 20 minutes for a few bucks saved.
