Coupons: Addictions and self control

Honestly I have to say that the price of something DOES heavily influence whether I will buy it or not. That still doesnt' make it a good thing though. I have bought things I should not have and regretted it the moment I got home because I thought that it was a good deal, and I was sooo craving it as well.

Well, sometimes these coupons and discount cards do make us greedy at times. However, sometimes we do exert caution and restraint. We should try to buy things when needed, with occasional spurts here and there.

I always use the coupons I get, because it is not expensive to buy those things. I know it is a bad thing, but it is irresisteble! I never tear a coupon up because I always have a buddy who need those so I can give them to him :D

I love coupons (and freebies) but you don't get many where i'm from :( Money plays a big part on if I buy it or not. If I really really want it I might just get it anyway but most of the time if it's to much I talk myself out of it.

I do have the self control to throw coupons away because of all of the things I have read and watched on television about sugar. I have really cut down on the sugar and now use Stevia. Research sugar and why it is bad for you online and you will be surprised how bad it really is for your body. There is a good article called "25 reasons why sugar is bad for you". It scared me straight. My addiction is processed food like frozen taquitos or chicken wings. My self control is not going down that aisle in the grocery store. There are not many coupons for healthy things though. When have you seen a coupon for fruit or vegetables? Money absolutely pays a price in what I buy, especially the snacks. But not having snacks in the house helps. I live in a rural area and it is not a "quick trip to the grocery store....so that helps!
