Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
Rise and shine! Wooooohooo, it’s Friday. Thank goodness.
Yesterday over on Facebook I posted this photo. I’m royally ashamed to say this is the current state of my coupons. Lest you think I have it all together – I don’t. We’ve been so busy with the kids, the yard, LIFE – that I have let my coupons pile up into a HUGE plastic tub (Can you relate? Do you feel guilty, too?).
I still coupon, but not nearly as efficiently and well as I would if I actually had my coupons organized. As I like to say – “A coupon does you no good if you can’t find it.” Yes, when I’m looking for one coupon, this is not what I want to dig through. My current couponing method consists of an envelope, in my purse, with the best of the best coupons or things I know I’m going to pick up. That ain’t cutting it anymore. . . .so long story, short. I gotta get this cleaned up and sort of recover from what I think is just a case of couponing burnout. It happens to the best of us. I’ll be doing a post on couponing burnout and I would love, love, love your ideas – how do you deal with couponing burnout?

You are awesome. Thank you for pointing that out. I updated. 🙂 That is a great deal.
Sometimes when I get coupon burnout I just forget about them for a few weeks. I come back refreshed. Other times I will go shopping without them, pay the full price for things (gasp!) and then once I get home and have to add that full price receipt to my budget log, I am re-energized to get my coupons back in order.
