Goddess is beat – pooped – tired – cranky (well, that’s nothing new)…she spent the entire afternoon throwing out inserts.  Hundreds and hundreds of inserts.  While getting large amounts of inserts is really, really nice, if you don’t stay on top of these things you’ll find yourself on Extreme Couponing/Hoarders Edition.

So I tossed.  And tossed.  and tossed.  Expiration dates, for the most part, are getting shorter and shorter, so I tossed anything before 7/31.  Yes, there might be a great coupon for a hot deal at Ultra, but you know what?  I don’t care.  After a while you realize that there is no point in chasing every friggin’ deal.  While couponing has gotten much tougher over the past couple of years, you can still work the deals without keeping every coupon and insert for the past six month “on the off-chance you will use a coupon.”  Get over it.  Don’t be like those newbie doofuses who equate cheap with stock-up and spend too much time and money building up a stockpile.  It might take longer, but enjoy the day, the family and a day free from scurrying around.

End of rant.
