You pride yourself on being frugal.
Youre no stranger to a sale or a coupon pack.
You reuse everything you’ve got the option to.
When it comes to saving, youre a superstar.
Maybe your star doesnt shine quite as brightly as youd like to think.
When you spin up the numbers, it turns out youre not as frugal as you thought.
Where have you gone wrong?
Youre Shopping All the Sales But Do You Need What Youre Buying?
In fact, youre spending unnecessarily.
Ask your family if they really need or want another well, whatever it is youre thinking about buying.
it’s possible for you to also wait several days before making the purchase.
If your urge has waned or you completely forget about the item, you clearly didnt need it.
Remember, your perks should reward your everyday spending not encourage unnecessary purchases.
You might even say youre the king or queen of couponing.
Well, Your Majesty, have you considered what types of stores those coupons are for?
On the other hand, using coupons at stores with already discounted prices only compounds your savings.
And you likely follow it, doing a dutiful grocery trip every week or two and cooking in bulk.
Youve got your meals set for the week, and youve hit your budget.
Then you open your fridge and sigh.
None of the options youve carefully shopped for and prepared are calling to you right now.
But you do have that coupon for DoorDash.
Theres no harm in occasionally treating yourself, especially on days when youre just too busy to cook.
Then you forgot to cancel it, and now youre being charged.
