| How did you get your husband (or wife) on board?
I'm a little discouraged tonight. DH said that he was going to go to the grocery store today to get some stuff for Easter (he's the cook of the family and loves making the big holiday meals). I gave him my carefully constructed list with coupons paper clipped to it.
When he came home, I asked to see the receipt. $168!!!! First, I was shocked, because I haven't paid more than $50 for groceries in months. He bought a lot of extra stuff. If he'd followed my list, it would've been no more than $20 max(no doubles here). Then in the bag I found the list...with the coupons still attached. He said he forgot. He can be kind of passive-aggressive so I am wondering....
He does make comments like "You have too many coupons." and "If you keep buying more stuff, I'm going to have build bigger cupboards." and "Don't buy anymore. We can't fit any more in the fridge." and "We're doing okay. We don't need to use coupons."
My stockpile is quite small. No more than 4 of an item...except maybe toothpaste where I've got 6-7.
So if your DH wasn't on board with your couponing at first...how did you convince him? I welcome any suggestions. |
