SundayPaperExpenseAt $3.25 a month it has been decided that the Sunday paper is no longer worth the money. I’m canceling the Sunday paper for a few reasons:

1. I don’t need extra paper laying around, I don’t have animals that need the paper to poop on.

2. It’s one less paper that has to be printed since I can read the paper online.

3. Most importantly, I don’t always get my money back every month in coupons.

Instead, I now print out the available coupons as I need them on scratch paper. And if I need more than one or two coupons on the same item, there are enough sites that allow me to print out 1-2 for each site. That is more than enough to stock or give away to others who may want them.

This though means I need to have a regular schedule of checking the site for coupons I would need before the expiration date, but with time and discipline I’m sure I will build a habit.

I have to say that it is nice not having the clutter of the paper around the house, not having the added weight in the trash bag and now having the 3.25 a month left in my account. It’s not a big impact but who said all the changes have to be big, even little things can be a big relief.
