I happen to be married to the most wonderful man in the world. Truly. He is considerate, hard-working, brave, thrifty and everything else Boy-Scout-Like (oh, and did I mention handsome?). I'd like to focus for moment on his "thrifty" quality. On our first real date, Michael really had to hold back because a coupon for Archibald's was burning a hole in his pocket. And after many months of wedded bliss - the use up the leftovers, buy what's on sale at the grocery store and the whole coup-it-up attitude have left a mark on me...in a very positive way. Case in point, last Saturday Carly and I coerced Kyle into a little bargain shopping.
Our first stop was DSW for some serious clearance sale shoes. Kyle was extremely bored after only walking a short distance in shoe heaven, but I found some beautiful, black patent leather pumps and Carly scored with a pair of boots and sweet ballet flats. As we went to check-out, I pulled out an amazing assortment of DSW coupons - two 20 percent off; one $5 off; one $10 off and one 10 percent off. I asked the salesperson to see how far she would let me take this thing. She let me use three coupons - so...let's just put it this way, between the two of us we spent $32 and saved $174! Woo. Hoo.
Next we spent some quality time at Ross looking for fun - and we found it. My fun cost about $7 and Carly's cost $130 and Kyle's fun $70. Lastly, we hit Jamba Juice and then headed home to tell this tale.
