I was so irritated at myself! My husband had to remind me it was only .75. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!

Several years ago I had a check filing box crammed full of tons of coupons (all sorted). A co-worker of my husband's walked up to my grocery cart and grabbed it and said, "what if I just dump this???".<BR/><BR/>I was so pissed that he even touched it much less said that. Here he is a grown man in his mid-fifties threatening to dump my coupons? He was serious. I looked him in the eyes and said just as seriously...<BR/><BR/>"Trust me, you'll be singing soprano while you are on your hands and knees like the dog you seem to be if you even tip the box!" <BR/><BR/>To him it was stupid. To me it was my job. I was saving in excess of $80 a week at the time and we ate like kings. <BR/><BR/>I am still terrorized in my dreams by that incident. Unless you have ever clipped, sorted and filed hundreds of coupons you can't know the torment it would be to have even the threat of a box dumped on purpose. <BR/><BR/>I saved $93 my last shop at Target (my fave store and what I blog about). The cashier screeched...YOU SAVED $93 BUCKS! Heads spun around and the woman behind me pushed on my arm and said..."shut up...you did not!" to which I waved the receipt as proof. <BR/><BR/>Both women wanted to know how. I handed them my business cards. Seeing is believing is all I can say. SUCH a good feeling to pay with coupons. <BR/><BR/>I'll see you at Target! <BR/><BR/>GingerMarciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521366928670058279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691477445682065036.post-14014685569324180792009-04-06T13:32:00.000-07:002009-04-06T13:32:00.000-07:00Too funny!

My coupon nightmares also include the cashier not taking my coupons and then my totals are all screwed up and then I spend way more out of pocket then I intended.

I just dreamed that I forgot that I had been seated and those poor people were just sitting at the table for forever.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a couponer- not that organized or at least all my organization capacity has already been spoken for.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>KimberlyKimberly @ Raising Oliveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506681324581884632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691477445682065036.post-1192298926206187342009-04-05T10:55:00.000-07:002009-04-05T10:55:00.000-07:00I am sending this link to Pam!

I used to have the same server anxiety dreams: can't see the computer through the "fog", can't find my tables, forget I had food in the window, etc. Teacher anxiety dreams too: show up an hour late to a room full of kids, not have the room ready for the first day of school, etc. It sucks!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625418471799937430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691477445682065036.post-50964837109947669712009-04-04T18:30:00.000-07:002009-04-04T18:30:00.000-07:00Oh man, I love to get $20 off my grocery bill each...Oh man, I love to get $20 off my grocery bill each week. Lately, it's been under $10. But there is something gratifying to know that you've saved enough to put somewhere else (gas, more food, etc.). And yes, even though I had the item and the coupon, I've been told that the coupon didn't scan so I couldn't use it. Holding up the line filled with angry people is not a good thing. I've had to bite a few and pay full price.bethbbkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115382493192497074noreply@blogger.com
