backwards?

So I fear I may be moving backwards in my couponing.  Maybe not since I never really went anywhere with it so I guess maybe I am just staying the same.  I do have a ton of coupons though.  I am having a really hard time figuring out what to do with all of them.  I cut them and have them all organized (I'm kinda crazy when it comes to organizing my coupons) but I just don't really use them.  I look through the news paper each week and look at the grocery store adds but I am terrible at figuring out what to get.  I see sales on items and sometimes even things that I have a coupon for but I can't bring myself to use it or stock up if the price is not free or almost free so in the end I end up paying full price.  I know that I should just use the coupons but I always feel like a better deal will come and I need to wait.  I guess I should have thought about this before I started since this is not an uncommon problem for me.  I did it with my halloween candy as a kid, i do it with gift cards, money, even presents I get sometimes (you know the set type that comes with the supplies you need for a project.)  I simply can't bring myself to use something because I am certain a situation is coming down the road when I will need it more.  The only bonus to this is I am a great saver! I have gift cards to all kinds of places and you can always count on me to have a stash of christmas candy, as long as you don't mind the slightly old kind.  Well anyway that's it for now I'll let you know if I jump back on the couponing train.
