Do you have Obsessive Couponing Disorder?

[cintinative]

Do you have obsessive couponing disorder? My husband says I have this.

Signs and symptoms include:

· Spending copious amounts of time on Hot Coupon World
· Your three year old son/daughter/grandchild asks if there are coupons for his/her favorite toy.
· Your three year old shouts, “mommy, fruit snacks are on sale!” when he/she sees them in the ad (knowing you will not buy them if they are not on sale)
· You spend way too much time at the grocery, CVS and/or Wags
· You use the terms “blinkie” and “peelie” in your everyday speech.
· You dream of using coupons or finding massive quantities of tear pads.
· You covet your neighbor’s coupon inserts.
· When your friend spends money for toothpaste, you feel pity for them.
· There are little pieces of paper all over your floor from clipping.
· You have a big binder or box of coupons that is always at capacity.
· You stare at the Catalina machine hoping for it to spit something out.
· When you cut and file your coupons it looks like the newspaper threw up on your kitchen table.
· You are disappointed when you only save 35% on your grocery bill.
· You pick up random coupons in the parking lot of your grocery, hoping for something good.
· You secretly hope the person in front of you will leave the Catalina hanging from the machine.
· You have a wall of toilet paper, body wash, pop tarts, or the like.

Oh sheesh! I have OCD anyway, I just feel like it's a double dose now that the couponing has made it's way into my life You just explained my life to a ''t''! Except, I have an 8 yr. old that stalks people in the stores then loudly announces who has coupons and who doesn't. He has also been known to win a land speed record for getting to the blinkie machine before I even ever see it!

I just thought that was normal??? You mean I have a disorder?

Nah, I don't believe it *Flipping through my coupon binder and listening to the printer spit out more IPs*

You forgot --The cashiers either run AWAY from you (those who hate coupons) or run TOWARDS you (those trying to figure out how you do it).

Actually that is where this whole joke started. I was joking that I got OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder--a real disorder, by the way) from my parents and my dh says, "Oh, you mean Obsessive Couponing Disorder?" And I was thinking, yep, pretty much!

Don't forget to add when your coupon organizer is more organized than your house. I mean you can find every single coupon you need but you can not find the flash light, or a check someone wrote you and you have lost.
