I used to think that everyone could and should use coupons to lower their grocery bill. I now understand that was a foolish supposition.
I just didn’t realize how draining stressful life circumstances can be. I thought that I had daily stress, but now I realize that it was very manageable.
Lately it’s a different story! We have been very busy with the details of getting ready to start missions training in January. I feel like I have been sorting and cleaning for weeks in preparation for our yard sale this weekend. We are trying to sell all of our “extra” and believe me, there is plenty of extra!
With everything else going on, coupons have been the last thing on my mind. I actually just gave my coupon box to a friend because I can’t even look at coupons right now. I tried this morning to make a grocery list from the sales ads and I just gave up. My brain can’t process all the details.
So, I apologize to anyone has had trouble couponing. I feel your pain. I am now off the Walmart to buy some hot dogs and chips for dinner.
I love you girl….sometimes just living life is a big enough challenge for us all.
Thank you so much for writing this blog. I wasn’t aware that I was about to go through one of the most difficult times in my life when I read it. Life has been way too much to handle lately, and I have felt so guilty up until God reminded me of your blog. it gave me such release from not stress over couponing. I have just done the best job I could this week and God has honored me. Just wanted you to know that your testimony goes far and God will bless you for sharing!
Oh Beth, I am so glad. I thought I was just writing for my own sake. I will pray for you!
Let me clarify. I am sorry that you are going through a hard time, but glad that I could help just a little bit.
