- Clothes are rarely purchased before they reach the clearance rack
- Even then, an additional discount is often used
- Gifts are purchased months in advance to take advantage of sales
- We drove to a neighboring state to buy our car because the price was better
It should come as no surprise that I use coupons. Extreme couponer, I am not. But they are a part of most shopping trips. In fact, they are a bit of a family affair. Scissor skills are practiced while cutting out coupons. Lessons on saving are taught in the store. We even manage to have a little fun in the process.
When time allows, we have a scavenger hunt of sorts with the coupons. On a recent trip to Target, Daddy was with us. I don't think he will be volunteering to come again anytime soon.
It went something like this:
Me: "Okay, take your coupon and see if you can find something that looks like the picture on it"
Diva: "Mine has bandaids. I get bandaids!"
Little Man: "Mine is pink. I get pink!"
*each kid was helped in selecting the correct item, which they were excited to show off*
Diva: "Look Daddy, I found bandaids!"
Little Man: "And I found pinks!" *practically screaming, proudly holding a package of pantyliners*
Daddy: "You just had to give him that one?!?!"
Well ...
