I decided to write a light, funny post for this sunny Friday afternoon.I will give you little background about me first: I am a bargain shopper, nothing gets my adrenaline running faster than finding a good sale. Paul often says to others "just tell Robyn it's on sale and she will buy 2, whether she needs it or not" I think this is a little exaggerated. Anyway, today was my grocery shopping day for our family. I usually go once every 2 weeks and stock the cabinets and refrigerator. This week was an exceptionally good shopping week. It started yesterday when I went to Target to get ink cartridges for my printer and found that they were all on sale for my brand. I wound up saving a whopping $26 dollars on my ink.
Today on my weekly grocery shopping expedition I did something that would totally humiliate Paul. Yes, I went to Wal-Mart with not only coupons, but also with a gift card, and the sales ads from both Kroger and Albertsons. Yes that's right people I was one of those obnoxious shoppers that holds up the line by having the cashier match the prices of their competitors, and on top of that I had coupons!! I wound up getting 4 items for free. FREE!!!! and paid only 50 cents for several other items. In total I got a trunk full of groceries, a pair of shorts for Paul, a shirt for me, and special dog treats for Rowdy for the bargain price of $65.21!!!! I was so excited!!!
Paul always gives me a hard time and tells me that we are not poor, we are doing just fine, so the money I save on coupons and price matches is not a big deal. Well heck, why should I spend any money that I don't have to??? I don't know if it is just a man thing or what. Do any of your men use coupons??? If so let me know so they can have a talk with Paul.
So that's the story of my bargain shopping for the week. Admit it.....this story brought a little smile to your face!!!
Happy Friday everyone and incidentally Happy 16 month LID to us!!!

He will kill me for saying this but Bob is so much like you. He would LOVE it if I bargain shopped like you do. I'm like Paul - we are fine financially so why make the effort to save some money? I am so amazed and in awe of people like you that can do that. If I told Bob, he would make me have you teach me your tricks. Love you! (And yes, I did smile because this is so YOU!)
