Takes More Time, but less money

So for the last few months I have been on a mission to try and not spend much money. When we decided it would be best for our family that I quit my job 2 years ago in May we knew that we would have to cut way down on the spending. Since then I have struggled with spending more than I ever have before! It seems like Satan has used it as a breeding ground for temptation. Something that I have really been learning is that the things in life that are lasting and the things that are often best for us take more time to do (like couponing), and you have to do them more than once (shop at 2 or 3 different stores to get the best deal). This is extremely difficut for me to do, because I have grown up in a "fast food" culture. Everything is quick, fast, and "easy". That word "easy" is often misused because it might be easier on the front end of things, but much harder at the end! I think I might have even blogged about this before, but I cannot remember. Obviously I didn't learn much from it because I'm taking the "test" again, and again!
