HA HA HA… I Love this. My husband hated the joint juice. We have oodles of that 5 hour energy stuff. I wrapped up the old spice “odor eater” body washes for all of his cousins this Christmas as a joke and wrote “because you smell, and we can tell..” Probably have around 30+ tubes of toothpaste that I now organize by expiration date, more shampoo then we will ever use in our lifetime and every razor that’s come out in the last 5 years. I can hear the mail-woman coming when she’s 2 streets over. Getting the mail is like a mini-Christmas. I also have “gotten ugly” at the register with a “newbie clerk” and done my best to be a lady while educating them politely on THEIR coupon policy. Would love to read more of your comments on your wife’s rebating. Hysterical.

Your husband offers a humorous perspective. This is the third article from him I’ve read and I laugh out loud at everyone.

I’ve been “couponing” for about three months now. At first, my boyfriend was puzzled by all my deals, although he enjoyed the extra goodies he was getting. Then he became suspicious. “Where do you find all these deals?!” Now, he insists that I forward him links for any good coupons or deals. He called me the other night after he left the grocery store, proud of himself for remembering to take and use the two coupons he printed off. He saved $1.25. Baby steps, right? =)

I just stumbled upon your website for the first time! I love it.

This post is too funny. I need to figure out a way to get my boyfriend to realize what a great deal I am getting! He thinks I am crazy…until it comes time to pay the bill and it is next to nothing. Or until he runs out of cereal and I tell him to go into the hall closet or our apartment and he finds 5-10 boxes to chose from! LOL! He loves the free and cheap stuff, just doesn’t quite get the stockpiling method yet!

i started the “frugal lifestyle” this past spring. i’m guilty of all of the above, AMEN!! my whole family, my kids friends, my coworkers, the ladies in church all know about my newest endeavor. they get the “priviledge” to hear about my rebate checks, free and next to free finds, the samples i’m waiting for and the rewards or checks i’ve started getting since i started taking surveys. i may have a few frugal converts up and coming. i appreciate all that you do.

This is a great post. I often hear from my husband that we don’t need 10+ boxes of cereal. He doesn’t really understand the whole stockpile concept. It’s kind of like the stockmarket…buy at the lowest price and never at full price. Our grocery bill is getting lower every month and we could live off of our stockpile it we needed to. I think he will come around by Christmas when our bill doesn’t go up. I also like sharing with friends and family.

Omg this is hysterical! I got into couponing a few months ago and my bf is now afraid to go to the store without me AND my coupon folders (yep i have two). He actually asked me a few weeks ago if i could ” go to cvs or something and get him so free razors” because he was running low. We too have enough toothpaste stockpiled for the whole neighborhood… and shampoo too. Oh and body wash. With the latest kraft coupons we have… well quite the stock pile of kraft stuff too!

This was the post that originally brought me to your blog. It’s all your husband’s fault that I read you every day. :)

That was really fun to read! And since I’m pretty new to your blog, I appreciate your re-running it.

I’m not at your level of frugalness, but my husband is beginning to witness the mildest of these symptoms…. :-)
