I am still using the binder system, but am about a month behind in clipping and filing coupons! I've even gone shopping a few times without coupons (somewhat)! *gasp* So, how did I manage to do that without an anxiety attack? I've decided my time is worth $$$ and sometimes I just don't have the time to keep up. So I'm spending a bit more on groceries, but I'm spending more time on important things rather than ignoring my family, home, and work, to coupon and adding additional stress to my life.
However, I still need to save money, so I am not completely coupon free! I've been shopping mostly at Safeway (though still love Trader Joes with their great prices without coupons, and stock up on bulk items at Costco) using the Just4u program, club prices, and sales of course! On the Safeway website I can click on all I need right at one place, plus I get great personalized deals and can easily load coupons onto my Safeway club card, no clipping! Perfect for when I just don't have time to keep up, but can still feel good about saving money. I know I could be saving more if I got to work on that binder collecting dust in the corner, but I still saved quite a bit and know I've spent my time on the important stuff.
I hear the binder calling... I'll get back to it eventually I'm sure.
