That’s a stretch

The front seat of Couponman’s car is always cluttered with torn coupons, receipts, and miscellaneous debris picked up at the 99¢ Store.  I try to scooch to the front edge of the seat so that I don’t disturb his treasures.  … Continue reading →

Hot toothbrushes anyone?

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

You remember I don’t do Christmas shopping, actually any kind of shopping, right? We received a Costco coupon in the mail for $20 off Sonicare toothbrushes, and figured everyone in the family could use a little hygiene.  I sent Couponman off … Continue reading →

Jaws of life

My sister introduced me to the perfect razor just for women — the Venus.  I’ve always struggled with those cheapish disposable razors.  Then I remembered Couponman had brought me a razor as some swag from a convention he’d attended.  Through … Continue reading →

Fair play

Yesterday I was off to one of my favorite places to play — the Los Angeles County Fair.  Let’s hope it wasn’t a repeat of a couple of years ago when the GAP and the grandkids accompanied me.  It was 103° and the … Continue reading →

“There’s a $4.94 interest charge on my account,” I complained to the customer service rep at American Express.  “It shouldn’t be there; I signed up for autopay.” I heard a snicker.  I’m sure she’s heard that as many times as … Continue reading →

Couponman dropped me off early this morning at the San Diego Convention Center for my first Blogher Convention.  He was good to go with a free movie ticket in hand.  I waited by the large glass double door looking for … Continue reading →

Helping hands

I love the smell of cut wood.  I stopped by Home Depot after work.  Couponman met me there.  (He’s the one with access to the R2D2 or something like that for the 10% Veteran’s discount.)  The only thing that could have improved … Continue reading →

Minimalistic shopping

Posted on February 28, 2011 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

Lines and sky-rocketed prices are not on my list of favorite things.  Frequently, that leaves Couponman and me at opposite ends.  If he needs to run in to buy something while I’m with him, I’ll often wait in the car. … Continue reading →

I took my daughter Coco in today for minor surgery.  I guess minor now is anything where you don’t stay overnight in the hospital.  I’m thinking any cutting into me or my loved ones is pretty major.  The doctor assured me … Continue reading →

Holiday shopping

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

Shopping sneaks in right above decorating on my list of unfavorite things to do.  My fifteen-minute decorating streak should have given you an idea of where this task falls on my list of priorities.  I’m fearful that NOW, the National Organization … Continue reading →
