A lil coupon humor for ya

[shopshop]

I wasn't feeling good today. Didn't even go to church. I asked hubby to pick up my usual 10 papers. He didn't do it. He said the last time he did that the check out woman was teasing him. Anyways, I waited and pouted around all day. At 1130pm I had had enough. I got on eBay (I know its way too high but I was proving a point here) and started ordering. When he asked what I was doing, I told him "well honey, I didn't get any papers so I am ordering all the qs from eBay".

His eyes got huge. He promptly put on his shoes, told me I was crazy and left at nearly midnight with a bag of quarters to buy papers.

Hahahahahaa

I bet he won't be too embarrassed to get your papers anymore!

You can still find papers that late? Every box around here is empty by noon

I thought for SURE he was wasting his time. But he came back with 10 papers. Good man!

Wouldn't work here since I'm the thrifty frugal one - DH would figure that's a much easier way to go about it, and would wonder why not order online every week?
I'm the only one who cares about every penny. He doesn't think twice of $10 here, $20 there.
Kind of like telling my kid if you don't clean your room you'll have to live in it that way...

I tried something new this week and I'll let ya know how it works out in a few days. I was told some newspapers sell their customers extra packs of coupons for less than a full paper. Unfortunately, not the only paper which is delivered around here and usually contains most of the coupons mentioned on the coupon preview list. I was bemoaning this in chat and was told of somewhere to purchase 10 coupon insert sets for $1.50 each plus $5 postage via the post. That means I got 10 of the $2/1 Tide coupons for $20. I'm hoping to use the Tide coupons on the single use Tide for $0.97 at Walmart with the overage going to needed produce. I figure since both Walmarts near me have oodles of the single packs of Tide, I should be able to recoup my investment there and all the rest of the coupons are just gravy. Here's hoping I can rustle up some really good deals with some of the rest of them to make it worthwhile.
