Couponing Nightmare!

[coupondink]

So I had a nightmare last night. I wanted to share, but this is the only place I could think where my nightmare would be understood and I would get some sympathy!

I had a nightmare that was so bad it woke me up in a cold sweat (no seriously).

It was about coupons.

So, in this dream, I was in the store with DH (obviously a dream, because there is no way I would allow him to shop with me! LOL). He was just throwing items in the cart. We get to the cashier, and the total was $430! I was shocked! I started yelling at him "this is why I do all the shopping!". After we paid, I started going through the bags. I found a bag of rice. I gasped "I have 15 bags of rice at home, why did you grab this?". He answered "oh I didn't know!". I found a shaving cream. A shaving cream! Ah! I told him, "I have dozens of these in the closet at home!". I found gum, etc. I was marching off to customer service to return it all, when I woke up in a cold sweat!

Thank God for HCW. This nightmare is no longer my reality (it once was) and only a dream.

I am glad it was just a dream. Looking back now though it is kind of funny since it didn't really happen. It made me laugh because when I was dating my husband at 19 he went to the store with me. My Mom sent me with a BLANK check. Years ago you could do that but now it is harder to do. I had money back then and didn't think ANYTHING of spending a few hundred a pop a couple times a week! Our grocery bill back in the 80's was around $1200-1500 a MONTH and you can get alot more for that then, not including eating out a few times a week. Of course it was my MOM's money, lol Anyways we went through the store with me just tossing in whatever I wanted and he said "don't you look at the prices" I said WHAT prices, lol He was floored away. Never heard of anyone not checking prices. Well my Mom wished she would have known how to shop better because she doesn't have any money anymore, another story for another day. I don't think it is funny though about your dream because I would have thought it was a nightmare too. It is just funny in the sense that it reminded me of my teenage years as a shopper. It was fun buying whatever for whatever price but no way would I do that now if I ever became rich. I would get what I could and help others more than ever.

My husband is constantly buying things that we already have in stock. I have tried to work on this with him, but its pointless. Many things start rotting in our fridge, because he buys extra.

Funny at least it was only a dream, my husband is trying ,I have to hand him the coupons with list there was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't have been caught dead with a coupon.

my hubby did the same thing a week ago in real life, came home with spaghetti sauce and garlic toast. I said, why on earth did you buy that for full price? we have NY toast in the freezer and spaghetti sauce coming out our ears...he said he didn't know we had any...LOL he was the one who I sent to the store and stocked up on the sauce and toast with coupons when it was on sale just a few weeks before! silly hubby's,,,they sometimes do things that make you go hmmmmm....
