Are you ready to rumble?

You know how cheap I am, right? My cheapness goes from turning the heat down during the winter (icicles form on Rob. I’m like “Wear a sweater!”) to scouring the Internet for coupons. Just today, in the mail, we got about $50 worth of coupons, for things that we actually need and use. We won’t be using them TODAY, but over our next couple of grocery shopping excursions, they’ll be used, and we’ll have saved $20 – $25 each time.
That’s the key, by the way. If you have coupons for stuff that you don’t actually need, or use, and would never otherwise purchase, and you buy it just because you have a coupon… well, you’re not exactly saving money.
For example: My brother and my husband enjoy wrestling. Not together! Rob hasn’t watched lately, but he followed wrestling for years, along with his mother and grandmother. My brother watches it on TV, and whenever any type of wrestling comes to PEI, off he goes. Lately he’s been bringing Rob with him, and they get to see people from their youth, like the Cuban Assassin. Anyway. A few of weeks ago, my brother called us with the news that the WWE would be in Moncton this September. He was planning on going, and wanted Rob to go with him. I told Rob that that would be his birthday gift from me (his birthday is in August, but whatever). Only thing was, the prices were… well. Higher than what I wanted to pay. I managed to find some World Wrestling Entertainment coupons and discounts, and passed them on to my brother (who was doing the ticket-ordering). And so, they paid upper-bowl prices for 3rd row seats.
Not too shabby.
(and I promise, I probably won’t mention rasslin’ again for another… oh… three days).
