I think my problem is that I just don't eat enough packaged things. I found a thing on the Nasoya website that will send me a tofu coupon once a week, but I can't find any coupons for canned beans or tomatoes, which are really the only things I buy in cans. I know I've seen soymilk and almond milk coupons before, but none this week.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

The weird "Weren't we supposed to be doing something?" cramps I can more than cope with. Not having to deal with a mess every month is sheer joy.

I think they ought to pair up the showings of Extreme Couponing and Hoarding shows. 'Cause I suspect some of those couponers are going to end up irrationally clinging to 30yo dented/rusted mystery cans in the fullness of time.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Sing it, sistah.
I'll spare the gory details, but I am SO happy to never again have to ruin skirts, jeans, undies, sheets, blankets, mattresses and once, a fucking CHAIR.
And having to be in a Vicodin haze 3 days a month just so I could stand straight. OTOH, the Vicodin haze probably prevented me from killing myself or someone else from the batshit-insane hormonal reaction. And I'm really not joking.
Over. Done. Happy.
Sometimes when I tell people I had a hysterectomy at 35, they're all "Oh, that's tragic! You can't have children. I'm SO sorry!"
I understand for many women, it would indeed be heart-breaking, but for me...well, instead of giving life to someone else, it have me MY life back.
Heh, I went in for my annual and my gyno STILL classifies me as having the hardest, most stubborn uterine and ovarian removal she's ever done.
It had been over a year and she was all looking at my charts and was "Oh! Oh, yeah. Wow, in my 40 years of practice, that was the hardest damn removal I've ever done. So sorry we had to leave a bit of your cervix in there."
I was all "Well, obviously ALL parts of me are stubborn as hell
Best gyno evah!

Several of the couponing people were talking about how looking at their stockpiles makes them feel calm and peaceful.

Thrive to spite them
I got into couponing and stuff for awhile. For me, the best deals were at CVS. I'd combine coupons with Extra Care Bucks. Then once I started on Extra Care Bucks I'd roll them over into another purchase with Extra Care Bucks offer.
Plus after you start spending there they give you quarterly extra bucks.
Ther'es not a CVS near where I live now but the last time I went I had amassed a bunch of Extra Care Bucks so that combined with I bought about $15 worth of stuff for $1. And got $5 in extracare bucks back.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yes, I am THRILLED not to have my damn uterus and its evil minion, stage IV endometriosis, hanging around anymore. I wish I had done it earlier instead of trying to tough it out.
