On coupons

Coupons are only valuable if you use them on items you were going to purchase anyway. If you let a coupon (or a sale, for that matter) convince you to buy items you weren't otherwise going to buy, then you haven't saved money, you've spent extra money.

Oh, but can you resist the coupon? This is why there are always coupons attached to pizza boxes. I can't judge: sales and coupons are always swaying me. We need to put up conscious resistance.

In other news, the Little Caesar's a few blocks from my house opens tomorrow. All my concern for frugality and health must be pushed aside as I celebrate this fortuitous event.
