mother who routinely buys organic produce based on the “ Clean Fifteen ” list , but her budget only stretches so far , and she wants to provide the best she can for her children . It ’ s not that she “ can ’ t afford ” otherwise , but that she “ can provide additional ” items when she purchases the foods that are in season and therefore priced accordingly .
Are you shopping with coupons because they basically amount to free money ? Those little twenty-five cent vouchers are like tiny quarters you can easily pick up and add to your grocery budget . We stop to pick up and do happy dances for pennies , so why wouldn ’ t we rejoice when we find a dollar off voucher for the hummus dip that we were going to buy anyway ?
Are you shopping sales to purchase more meaningful experiences for your family ? There are different memories when you attend two-dollar miniature golf on Tuesday mornings versus cosmic bowling with lights and music on a Friday night with a free pizza with purchase coupon . There is a grand difference between a day trip to the dinky old local museum than a trip to a large national monument , paid for by price comparison and free admission vouchers .
The fact is that yes , in a lot of cases , maybe most cases , shopping with sale pricing and coupons comes from a place of scarcity , fear , and lack . But , I venture to say that sale shopping may also come from a point of transition . A place where we create abundance by refusing to leave money on the table , even if it comes in the form of percentage off sales and coupon off vouchers .
I dare suggest that sales shoppers may be practicing this behavior from a place of learning and growth , where we can take some scarier financial leaps and still know that we can safely provide for our families . The first coach that I ever invested in was paid for with money I saved by grocery shopping with sales and coupons . I created a reality by taking my own small actions , and it did pay off tremendously .
When we shop with sales and coupons and rain check vouchers , we must do so from the point of view of creation . Of creation of a new , more abundant reality , where we can purchase that designer jacket , AND have our organic salads . Is it really so important that the jacket was purchased at outlet pricing and the salad was paid for with the dollar you found inside the newspaper clippings ?
