Okay, so my take on the other night's show is simple. It is buy what you need. If you do not have a baby do not buy diapers. It cost money to store things. It takes up space. The most important thing that it takes is time to plan trips, cut coupons, find the items, buy the items, take the items out of the car, bring them inside, and place them on shelves.

I went to the doctors with my son this week. I realized he will soon be 1 years old. I looked at him and wonder when he got so big. What day did he go from a little preemie to this 21lb baby? I guess I think this way time is money. I believe that you can't get time back. I believe it is important to live in your budget. It is important to use coupons to help you do so. It is NOT important to plan trips to buy things you do not need. It is not important to run to the store to get the next best deal if it means missing the best deals which are those found at home.
