[quote=Anonymous]I am a couponer and a clearance hunter. Cons first: 1) It takes hours and hours of my time. 2) I spend way too much gas looking for the sale items running from store to store looking for clearance items or sale items 3) I have to deal with cashiers/other people who look down on me for using coupons. 4) My house is always cluttered because my free time is spent couponing. 5) I start losing space in my house 6) I am turning into a hoarder Pros - 1) I save money on household products - Tide pods or detergent - I pay only $2 a pack, sometimes even less. Eucerin - $4 for a 13 oz bottle. Toothpaste - Free, Mouthwash - Free, Kleenex - Free. Persil - $1, Arm and Hammer - Free. Cheerios - Free. Stores pay me to take toothpaste off their hands if I play the rolling extrabucks game well. 2) Sometimes I am able to flip some of this junk and get money to buy my kids something I wouldn't have bought otherwise. 3) I get a high by doing all the math in my head. 4) Its the thrill of the chase. I have to take breaks whenever it consumes me and I find my house full of crap. I am on a break now since Halloween. I have around 10 Halloween costumes. It will occupy space until next Halloween when I can flip them for maybe double what I paid, which isn't much. So I lost use of my space. If it wasn't for the high I get I wouldn't be doing this. It is an addiction. I find myself enjoying the clearance hunting (Holiday, Valentines, Easter etc) more than the couponing. I have spent hundreds of dollars on clearance merchandise I don't really need, which is just occupying space in my house.[/quote]
