Yesterday The Man decided it was going to be "Family Morning" at the grocery. Mind you, this is the ONLY time I have to myself each week, but what the heck -- I'm always up for a challenge, right? I just wanted to make sure HE was, because he has never really seen my whole couponing gig up close & personal. Yeah, he knows I clip & print... and he hears me talk about how I've saved $75 that week, etc... but he's just never seen it in process. As we pulled into the parking lot, I warned him that I consider shopping to be a competitive sport, and he did have the grace to look a little nervous...
Anyway, after he saw me cruising the meat section looking for markdowns to match with coupons and stocking up on the yearly cheese slice sale (the 24 pack is always conveniently $1 right before summer vacation, and the fact that the amount of children in my house multiplies exponentally during said time) and various other couponing BARGAINS (free bbq, salad dressing, $2 California Pizza Kitchen pizzas, etc...)... and then he was the one handing over the coupons and signing the bill.... he said THANK YOU!!
All that time searching out deals online... printing & clipping coupons... reading match-up blogs... and The Man "GETS IT" !! (Bet he'll never do >>THIS<< again!) WAHHOOOOOEYYYYY!! Just wanted to share that little bit of validation with everyone >wink<.
My children have decided that I need a pair of pants that says "Clearance Queen" across the rear.
I was personally relieved that Mouth didn't suggest "Cheap Ass".
(PS: I DID look for some clip art of a pair of shorts with "cheap ass" across the back but couldn't find one. Can't believe there isn't one somewhere on the internet LOL!)

OMGsh you really have me laughing out loud!!! I just love you and your humor!!!
I too am trying the couponing thing. It is SO time consuming! I follow the blogs etc. It does save lots of money though. Too many times I find myself running into Kroger to buy 2-3 items and not having my coupons with me.
Good luck!
