I know that in theory they are a money saving tool, and if I were talking about coupons for items I regularly purchase I would agree with their money saving super powers.
BUT in my life coupons only cause me to buy things that I didn't really need....as in "oh I had a coupon for it so I had to get it"....LAME.
So this month when I opened my August issue of Parents magazine and found a Gymboree coupon I was both excited and nervous. Excited because having a coupon meant that I just had to go there to use it, but nervous about how much I'd spend under the guise of saving money. So off to Gymboree I went because not only did I have a coupon but I also had gymbucks! So I spent an ass load of money and Natalie has an entire summer wardrobe for next year...as long as she doesn't all of a sudden have a huge growth spurt.
Then yesterday, my awesome coworker brought me another Gymboree coupon that she plucked from her Family Circle magazine.
It is currently sitting on my desk taunting me....I have checked the gymboree website like 3 times today adding things to my bag, taking things out...back and forth.
I just have to use the coupon, it would be sacrilegious for me to let it go to waste. Oh have I mentioned that I also have 2 coupon codes waiting for me on my email....CRAP.
I'm going to go broke saving money.
