The More I Learn, The More I Learn I Don’t Know

After reading an article from Get Rich Slowly about Crissy in Gainsville spending two cents for $380 worth of stuff at Target, I realized that I have so much more to learn. I have spent the morning reading through all my money blogs and I am now officially overwhelmed with information. It is a full time job to keep track of discount credit cards, coupons, sale ads, high interest checking and savings accounts, maxing out your retirement accounts, different unconventional ways to make money, etc. No wonder the average person gives up.

I did finally figure out the gas to coupon saving at many stores thing. It does make sense to me that if the stores are close together or in the same vicinity as other places you do business, you could save money going to many stores. For me it will be easy since Shop-N-Save, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General, and Schnucks are all within 5 miles of each other. I just start at the furthest point and work my way back home.

Savings money with coupons and store sales works unless your DH (Dear Husband) gets mad because he doesn’t like cereal made with whole grain (that I got for free with store sale and coupons) and you get into an argument in the grocery store and he ends up walking half way home before I took pity on him and called his mother to pick him up because he refused to get into the car with me. So now he has no cereal to eat and I have 10 free boxes, which is fine with me.
