Be careful when couponning.

If you are not careful you will spend your budget getting lots of 1 to 4 things and be left with odds and ends to cook with until you have amassed a larger stockpile. We now have oh, 24 boxes of cereal, a case of tuna and a case of mac n cheese, but we're getting tired of playing with these three items for meals. We're going to try a new strategy this next month where we make a list of needs and choose a few items to stockpile.
