My husband thinks I have problems!! Tells me I need a CVS and WAGS support group. I'll I do is calculate when my next deal is going to be, get my coupons and shop til I drop. I try to get him to come with me but it's not working. Don't you ever want that support when you go deal shopping??? Someone to hold your hand while you go through the "coupon embarasment" at the register??? Someone to block the looks of other shoppers when you look through you HUGE coupon binder standing by the clearance section??? Someone who understands that you actually NEED 20 Venus razors??

Anyone out there in NE Ohio????

I feel for you. No one in my family coupons. When I try to explain about the thrill of a great deal. They look at me like I need a straight jacket. My husband says I dont need drugs, alcohol etc. that I get a high from my coupons. He justs looks at me and laughs when I sit surrounded by the ads and my coupons looking for the best deals.

I love this post. I'll be your friend, but I can't block the stares as I live in Texas. Totally get what you are saying though.

My husband comes with me once a week to CVS, Rite Aid, Kroger and Publix. I LOVE it! He is this big ol' guy so nobody gives him any problems when he pulls out a stack of coupons. If I go by myself I get hassled.

[lifeworthliving]

I'll be your Q friend from afar!! .

[Coldstarrynite]

Thanks for all the love!! Don't get me wrong, he LOVES all the deals I get. He even watches our two kids whenever I want to go shopping or get a deal on the fly. It just would be great to have someone who actually understands the high you get by going to 5 WAGs in a morning!!

[Deb1953]

I hear you sister. Just remember the thrill of saving far out weighs some jealous glances from others. (Tee-Hee)

I just got back from doing the circle (rite-aid walmart &walgreens) and my DH said 1 store where did you go well i was only going to do rite aid but alone time was so nice and some of my coupons expire the 31st so i thought I'd use them up. and I was only gone a little over an hour. he wouldn't have cared at all except a friend's hot water burst and he needed to go help and bring the pipe wrench.(My DD has my car till sometime tonight babysitting) I'm not sure if he knows how to use it since I fix most of that stuff since he drives for work and it takes forever for him to get time.

[LACECOUPONS]

no i want him to stay home,and let me bring in the goodies, but i will be your friend.

[mrsbrehmer]

I can support you from NW Ohio. I always tell my DH about the hassles I get with coupons and how I respond (which is usually polite but firm!) and all he says is that I better not do that when he's with me. JERK!

[mikeswife]

I'll be your friend Too My Dh used to go with me all the time but not so much anymore & that did hurt my feelings I now take one of my kids. Dh slows me down anyway now that I think about it I'm mad that he doesn't go & I'm gonna tell him he slows me down next time he wants to go .
I'm sorry I didn't mean to hijack your post & make it about me but hey that what friends are for . I'm adding u to my buddy-list right now

[Coldstarrynite]

[savndough]

[Coldstarrynite]

They would be going mad with all of us using coupons one after another. Could you see us calling out hey Deb do you have a coupon for blah blah I will trade you blah blah for it.

[SophiesMommy]

I bow to you: Three stores and home in 1 hour = wow!

I average 30-60 min per store, depending on my list and the clearance section!

I live near Youngstown, OH.

[Daytime Daddy]

I'm the reverse. I have a DW who doesn't understand. She thinks I've lost it. I'm a stay-at-home dad of 6 and 2 year old. She thinks I should just get a job, put the 2 year old in daycare, and we'd come out on top.

[staviles]

DH always comes with me to do the deals and he totally gets it....we will hit up about 5 WAGS in one Sunday morning and he stands his ground about the Qs....Daytime Daddy..maybe you should try and take her with you or include her in the clipping or finding of the deals....I think you are doing a very admirable thing by trying to stay at home with your kids and saving your family money at the same time!

[sshrtcksb]

I live in SE Ohio, so I feel your pain here. I have no one to go to do deals with me and I have even taken my Grandma with me just so someone else can see how well I have done! I also have been known to call my dad, cause he is a bargain shopper too! That is where I learned it from! Maybe I should give him a stack of coupons for Father's Day! LOL!

[Coldstarrynite]

I just took another lonely trip to Giant Eagle to get my 10 packages of .15 lunch meat. If only I had someone to laugh with as the cashier said..... " You like sandwiches"
My husband is eating a sandwich right now!

[BeckyKay76]

You all are too funny! I was explaining the couponing thing and AFC to my parents the other day. (My mom used to coupon, so she gets it. sort of.) Anyway, I was telling Dad how I trade coupons with others. He said, "So, it's kind of like collecting baseball cards."

I said, "Yeah, but I don't have to wait 20 years for my coupons to be worth something."

"I'd still rather have a Mickey Mantle rookie card," he said.

[antiqueforest]

I will be your coupon addiction friend too from NE Indiana. Although I prefer going alone for the deals. Just left my coupon exchange meeting with my friend tonight and walked away with 176 coupons . I got here addicted to coupons and the thrill of the deal. She always tells me how well she did . I am glad I helped someone see the light and find a fun addiction. Now I am figuring out what to use for future sales. Wish WAGS listed their ads early like CVS.
