Maybe you should, too. You can probably take a tax deduction if you use the coupons and deliver the bottles yourself. regards, makingourway I’d donate them to the local food bank.

Or ask friends and family if they'd like some free soda. This way you don't let it go to waste, but still keep your Coke-free lifestyle. Get the Coke and donate them to a shelter.

It's easier to part with something like that by selling it than by tossing it into the trash. Although it seems like you've got some strong willpower on this one, which is awesome.

Seriously, though, I agree. And the problem extends beyond free stuff; it's always tempting to jump on anything that seems like a good deal, without fully thinking through whether or not you really need it. The "deal" sites on the web are terrible for this. Once in a while I see a deal on something that I really was about to buy, and save a bunch of money. But more often, something that I've seen, and thought about buying, becomes irresistable when it's available with a $40 off coupon. Even though I really didn't need it in the first place. Penny-wise pound-foolish, and all that. In the infancy of DVDs (which happened to coincide with the dot-com boom), you could get DVDs for a few dollars each on the web. We bought scores, most of which we've never watched. Sure they were cheap, but did we really save money on them if we wouldn't have bought them otherwise? Oops, I meant the second responder.
