I'm with you, I hate buying expensive clothing and the like, even if I can afford to pay for them. I use the power of google to find coupon codes for most online stores that I shop on, they even have printable ones for places like Old Navy, CVS and Target. Just google the search term, like "babiesrus coupon code" and it will come up with a bunch. I always google whatever I'm shopping for, even if it's a mom and pop website. We ended up saving $250 on our laptop since I found an awesome coupon code for it.

Good luck!

Aw, don't be so hard on yourself! We all stumble sometimes, and it sounds like, all in all, you have a good plan and a good system.

Funny thing is, I had a similar problem Saturday. Forgot my list and couldn't run home to get it -- I had a tiny guy-free shopping window. So I wound up with too much stuff I already had and not enough of things I really needed. ((Sigh))

I gave up on coupons years ago. The expirations are so short these days I always wound up throwing more away than I used -- so clipping became a not efficient use of my time.

My biggest hurdle these days: Going to the store hungry. Which is why there's an evil pack of Oreos in my kitchen right now as the result of Saturday's list-less trip!
