This is probably not the best advice, but this is how I "work" coupons. I know that there are certain products we always buy, so I keep those coupons. I am pretty loyal to one certain chain, and they have one of those cards. Yes, it is a little "big brotherish" that they keep track of what I buy, but they give me coupons for those products. I use those. Also, this chain sends out special coupons that I use - unless DH throws them out before I can go. (He threw out a $40 off coupon for $200 + in groceries, once, and I still have not let him forget it. - especially b/c heaven forbid I throw out something he needs.)

This week it was actually funny the coupons I got - twice. As I was wondering out loud, not really upset, but just wondering as I posted earlier, we went to the store and got a coupon for Pampers - twice. I guess my local grocery store believes that we will have a need for those. BTW - Thank you all who shared your stories. I needed those, and they have really added this sense of calm about the whole thing. First time ever that I have made it through PMS and cycle week w/o tears and self pity. You guys have no idea how much you have helped me and my DH. ((hugs!!))
