Okay I Admit IT....

I am CHEAP. No, not frugal, cheap. I get great joy out of getting something for free or on sale with a coupon. I used to lie to my self and tell my self that I was frugal but recently I realized that I need to embrace my cheapness and proudly proclaim it to the world.

I won't buy anything for my self unless it is on sale or I have a coupon. Last week I got really excited because Target had shirts on sale for $6.00 and I had a $3 off coupon on the same shirt. I could only print two coupons on my computer so I enlisted my girlfriend Gary, to print off two on his computer so I was able to get 4 shirts for $12.00. But I did not stop there...NOOOO. I also brought my own bag thus getting the beloved 5 cents off as well. Then I proudly waved the receipt under Agent Daddy's nose when he got home. Because frugal is happy saving money. I need recognition for my savings there for I am CHEAP. And now I am CHEAP LOUD and PROUD.

I get three newspapers every Sunday, NOT to read, but for the inserts. I prowl the internet wed sites like Coupon Clipping Daddy, Budget Savy Diva, Raining Hot Coupons and Debt Free Spending to make sure I am not missing out on any freebies. I carry my coupon binder in the car with me everywhere, "Just in case". Who ever heard of a coupon EMERGENCY? But my cheapness has led me to carry the coupon binder instead of the first aid kit in the car.

I think that if Agent Daddy wasn't frugal himself he might have staged a coupon intervention by now. I haven't reached the level of Extreme couponer yet but that just might be part of my bright future, I have braces for the Tech Monkey coming up and I have yet to find a coupon for them.
