I know it pains me to pay full price for anything, but sometimes there are things you just need. Forum member ChantelKiss has come up with a great way around this – she budgets $10 a week for full price items (and she treated herself to snacks with them too).
Most of ChantelKiss’ shopping was done with price matching and coupons, but I think giving yourself a budget for full priced items is a great idea, especially if some in your family are not completely on board with your money saving ideas.

Do you give yourself a full price budget?
No, but It’s a good idea! Sometimes you just don’t know the prices of things you don’t buy often(ie/garbage bags)so I wouldn’t give a set budget but I definately give myself margin for that!
Great idea because sometimes you just can’t beat the system. No coupon, no sale, no luck, it happens. Not like a meteor will strike you down if you don’t use a coupon……unless 😛
