To double-post because I am such a rule-breaking, trolling, catfishing, sock-puppet, trouble-maker.
Am I the only one who would be more than a little curious to see Yahweh's "rule-breaking, trolling, catfishing, trouble-making..." sock puppet?! That sounds like it would deserve a thread all by him and/or herself, depending on what gender this mythical sock puppet identifies itself as...
I grew up in a circle of people for whom saving money is like an Olympic event:
"I bought this jar of pickles on sale, with a coupon."
"Oh yeah? I got this tube of toothpaste on sale, with a coupon, on a BOGO, and with a rebate!"
Years ago, a friend's little brother got a great deal on a truck and he came home and said, very proudly, "I was a GOOD German!" LOL.
I look for deals whenever I can, but am definitely not crazy or obsessive about it. I don't fist fight anyone for the last 2 bottles of $1 hand soap just because I have a 25-cent coupon, nor do I stalk grocery stores and gas stations on Sunday morning so that I can steal all the coupon flyers from all the Sunday papers (which is how many "Coupon Clubs" "get" their coupons.)
But I definitely won't pass up a chance to save money, especially when it's right on front of me.
I know this goes against the grain, but if a date took me to McDonald's and used a coupon, I wouldn't even blink. To me, it's just a sign of smart money management.
And hopefully it wouldn't throw him if I said, "Hold up! Let me check... (pulls out ever-present coupon wallet) I think I have (a coupon) even better than that one!"
Hey, I'm just trying to be helpful.
