Back in '07 when I was doing my life make-over -- changing the way we eat and live, I kind toned down the whole coupon scene. By that I mean, I was still couponing, but cautious on the things I bought.
When you begin couponing, you have the tendency to go overboard...basically you get a little greedy. At least in my case I did. I was about the numbers and how my pantry and storage looked. It didn't matter if we didn't use it. If it was FREE, I was getting it. Now don't get me wrong, even though I liked to see a mini-store, I gave away a lot of stuff too. I think that's why I still have stuff to this day even though I'm not doing it hardcore.
Here's a rundown of my storage -- we have our fridge/freezer inside, then 2 freezers outside (flat one and a standing one) and another fridge/freezer. All of these fridge/freezers were stocked! Fast forward to today -- only the flat laying freezer, top freezer of the fridge and our fridge inside is stocked.
My dry storage -- I'm beginning to see empty spots. I am still stocked with personal hygiene items, but if I don't get back into it, I will be buying those items full price.
Stay tuned...I will upload before and after pics once I find them! That will be my motivation tool to get back into action. Here's a few pics of my friends' couponing:
