<p style="font-weight: 400;">Couponing presents a fantastic opportunity to cut costs on your regular expenses. However, it's important to be mindful as it can easily <!--more-->turn into an addictive habit, leading you to acquire items you might not necessarily need. Personally, I don't find this to be a major concern, particularly when you're snagging items for next to nothing!</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some strategies for dealing with excess items:</p>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Donate to shelters or churches: Sharing your surplus with those in need can make a meaningful difference in their lives.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Use for housewarming or birthday gifts: Repurposing your extras as thoughtful gifts for friends and family on special occasions is a thoughtful way to spread joy without spending extra money.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Create gift baskets and sell them: Get creative and assemble themed gift baskets using your surplus items. You can then sell these baskets at local markets or online platforms.</li>
