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.

Ohhh!!! I just LOVE to shop! Seriously, that day was amazing! And to think, I grabbed 4 dresses off the rack without trying them on and they all fit me like they were meant for me! There is just not anything more satisfying than that! And you spent like ELEVEN dollars!
Yeah, we pretty much rock and should shop for a living!
