Well I understand what you all are saying....although I haven't really tried to teach anyone to use Q's. One cashier who saves me inserts seems to think it's kinda funny I use coupons etc...but I think with her its a case of not understanding the big picture (the fact that I can save tons of $$)
My gripe is my ex husband....I get so tired of hearing my kids come back from visitation with him and talk about not having any food to eat! When we were married I did all the shopping and used thrift stores and clearance and grocery stores like Aldis etc...didn't coupon back then but was still very frugal.
I have tried to tell my ex to do these things but he acts like I have two heads or something and blows me off. After a really rough spot for him last year (no electric for awhile and no hot water for 6 months!) he finally started going to Aldis to get cheaper food and said to me...."wow things really are cheaper there" uh.. how many years did it take you to figure that out?!
and when my kids told him how I coupon and how much I save and how much I can stockpile my ex and his new wife had the nerve to tell my kids "Your mom should give us things" !!! The NERVE of some people! I work my behind off to save $$ and they spend it like its water and then have no money for bills etc and want me to support THEM?!

Ok I am off my rant now...I feel better! thanks oh and one more thing...I LOVE my DH....he is awesome about couponing and stockpiling!
