smart mom coupons…

I personally agree with your comments, but there will always be some people who may not feel the same….

Dawn – I like the 10 second rule idea.

Frugalchick – I think tipping is still important as long as your service is good.

Debt Blogger – Yeah, shopping helps when you are depressed or stressed. I tend to eat out more in times of high stress. Just makes me feel better.

It would be impulse buying! Whew. Just recently I bought a hand held clothes steamer because it’s cheap. Turns out, it’s not as effective. GAAH! I should have just bought the more expensive kind or just not buy anything at all.
I also tend to buy a lot more stuff (even if I don’t really need them) when I’m sad or depressed.
Hard habit to break. =(

One of my worst financial habits would be being overly generous to friends and family on their birthdays! I’m also a very generous tipper but good thing I don’t eat out as much anymore. I’m hoping to scale down a bit but not to the point of being stingy…just reasonable.
