What happens when a extraordinary coupon shopper loses her mojo?

Yes I used to always have a coupon. Let me change that yes I always have a coupon, BUT very rarely use them any more. I once was a extraordinary coupon shopper that everyone would look at the see what I was getting for free. I remember a time when I could shop for $30 a week and that would feed my family of four. Who am I kidding that would feed us, wipe our butts, make us smell good and clean our house. All for around $30. It was amazing. My hubby was so proud of me and would tell everyone about his couponing wife. Well those days are gone. I have lost my mojo. I spend close to $200 a week to feed my family of four. That is crazy. I can not afford to spend that much. No one can afford to spend that much.
I go on facebook and see all the post from my friends about there shopping trips and what they have gotten and spent. Yes I am jealous. Then the light bulb goes on and ya I am the one that taught all of them to coupon shop. So why can they still do it and I can't. Yes I hate that saying I can't. I know I can.
OK so let's be real for a moment. I know that it is not the same coupon shopping from a year ago. That way has gone. With all the coupon sites and the show TLC Extreme Couponing I fully aware that coupon shopping has change. As much as I would like to spend just $30 a week I know that is a hard taste to have. I am sure that I can work real hard and make a budget that I can live with. If I search real hard and I try real hard I can find my couponing mojo again. I must find my mojo.
So I am out to hold my self accountable and regain my name as Yes I Have A Coupon!
I will coupon shop. I will post coupon deals on my site. I will make a budget and stick to it. I will be proud to post about my extraordinary coupon deals. I will make my hubby take about his awesome couponing wife. I will find my mojo.
This is Yes I Have A Coupon and I will use them because I want to! Stay tuned, we are about to have a bumpy ride.
