Default Re: How did you get your DH on board?

My DH is not happy with my couponing. And I'm a majorly against buying stuff that I don't use. I do not coupon very much, I just do it to save money on stuff I buy. I do not coupon food very much because I cook from scratch a lot. I also make it a point to eat out of the pantry and freezer regularly, so our $400/month groceries last 2-3 months then I spend $200 on the next few months eating fresh veggies.

He hates it, but since I've started couponing, he has noticed that I have bought non-perishables. I also have used it for stuff like sour cream, soup, and some deals on meats. Another bonus is I've been finding deals like $4/20 or something. That I'll use. So I don't save a ton, like $5 at most a week, but it's something and he's stopped complaining so much.

It's a free coffee or lunch out for him, so he's getting better.
