So much for planning....

So I'm sure some of you have noticed I have been gone for a while, to which I am sorry. I have to say though that I wasn't planning on my computer breaking.... :( but I suppose its up and running again. Its not as it once was but hey its working and I'm really hopeful that it will last us a couple more months.

So I wanted to continue with the "planning" part of life. As most of us know, once there are kids in the picture nothing seems to go as planned. I know I sometimes wish I was like Elasta Girl from the Incredibles(its a Disney movie if you haven't seen it) so when I'm in line at the Grocery store, and my daughter has to go potty, I can stand there at the check out and take her to the restroom. That would be awesome!
OK sorry to get sidetracked. But when we were at the store the other day, I couldn't help but notice that people are clearing shelves of product! Really!? Clearing a whole shelf! Do we really need to clear a whole shelf of a product! This ISN'T extreme couponing! So this is what I wanted to talk about....
Would you go to someones house and take everything they had just because you could get it for cheap or even free..... NO! If you said yes you're lying, because you wouldn't go to your grandma's and steal from her.
Now I know that you are thinking well I use coupons and the store gets the money back so that's not stealing. You're right, but do you really NEED 80 boxes of pasta! No, you don't! its just that simple..... think about it like this, leave some for other people..... because not everyone coupons, some people don't need to at all, and what if it was little Sally's birthday and she really wanted mommy's pasta, but there wasn't any at the store. If that was you, you would be really upset. Or that was all some one was able to afford for dinner till tomorrows payday, we have all been there at one point or another, so please think of other people when you shop. Thank you! :)
PS
There will always be a bigger and better deal out there.
Happy Couponing Everyone! :)
