Reader Sarah left a really good question on Facebook in the MyLitter Best Deals Group (If you want to join that group just ask HERE and I will get you approved). I thought it was really smart to plan ahead like she is and have the forethought to have a get started plan.
From Sarah: “I want to take a break from couponing. (Maybe 3 months) I have a stock pile already. My question is do I continue to buy the paper? So when I do decide to start again I will have coupons. Any thoughts?”
Personally, I have taken breaks from “couponing” for different reasons in the past few years. Mostly it was when I have had a new baby and I knew that some things were going to just have to wait. Also, most of you have heard me talk about the Christmas where all 7 kids had the chicken pox. That wasn’t a planned break, but I took one!!
What I would do is stop the paper and then about 4 weeks before you want to start again, just go back to getting at least one a week. That way you have some coupons to get started. I would also just go to printing coupons during the break.
What do you think?? Any advice?!
