Dillons Friends - You know your a hardcore couponer when....

I came upon a thread like this for Food Lion and thought we might have some fun with it here. If its okay (mod?) please share your additions !

You know you're a hardcore couponer when.......


You never carry a purse anywhere, but you always bring your binder everywhere. ( where is the binder toting smilie?)

[Sculpture Widow]

If you have kids.....
The first question out of your child's mouth is "Is there a coupon for that, Mommy"?
(like when they see a toy/game/book, etc. that they want).
My 5-year old is convinced that there must be a coupon for EVERYTHING! :-)

I also agree with the OP! I have a coupon bag that has everything important in it. I have small panic attacks if I leave the house w/o it! :hectic1:

This is fun! Thanks!

Returning with you from CVS your 16 year old granddaughter announces Gram only got paid 50 cents for shopping today.

when.....

you have the power to send your child into some sort of twitching fit upon being picked up from school and seeing the ''coupon box'' anywhere in the car.....

at least twice a week you have to spend the money you've saved on fast food for dinner because every flat surface in your house has some sort of coupon-y related items spread out for sorting,clipping, etc.....

you actually think about injuring your spouse because they are not impressed you saved half off the price of having 2 cars fully serviced just by donating items you had already stockpiled in the house......

you have an indepth discussion with the cat about eating the free treats and not holding out for the same kind I got last time for free....dear cat, they will not always be the same kind, you will survive, some cats don't even get treats.......

[pyxiedust]

you've stopped shopping for things you "need" and instead you're only shopping for cheap/freebies.

[WeatherGirl]

You burst into tears and nearly have a panic attack when you realize you just left your binder in a Target shopping cart in the parking lot full of coupons and with over $30 of RRs in it. Your husband tries to calm you down as he drives you back to Target to retrieve it (I found it fully intact). Yet, you can watch your child ram his eye into the dinner table at the Cox picnic and not freak out about it (he is fine and has a black eye).

When you keep putting off buying something you are almost out of because it hasn't been on sale in a while. You know as soon as you give in and buy it full price, it will be on great sale the next week.

[WeatherGirl]

Scrapbookingmanda - Or you agonize over your full price purchase for the whole week afterward.

you have an indepth discussion with the cat about eating the free treats and not holding out for the same kind I got last time for free....dear cat, they will not always be the same kind, you will survive, some cats don't even get treats.......

Or with your dog, who is tired of the dozens of free treats you stocked up on and wants something different.

You cry because you got nothing on your birthday. You knew money was tight..... but the LEAST they could have done was hunt you down a good tearpad.
