You did not have to be embarrassed about the comments he made to me. He looked about 10 years old, but from his lack of eye contact and constant fidgeting, I figure he's either on the autism spectrum or another social communication disorder. My brother and several nephews are on the spectrum, so not only am I used to it but since I live away from most of my family I find it especially endearing and heartwarming. You felt awful when he said I sounded like a man (I have a cold). And you shushed him and pulled him away when he said I must have not showered today because my hair looked greasy (he was right). But he TOTALLY made my day when the cashier said I'd saved $145 and he cheered "Mom, she's rich!!" and then proceeded to clap for me. So, sincerely, I love him!
In other news, I've been regularly couponing for a couple months now and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Between the in-store savings, catalinas, and rebate apps, I spent $129.05 and saved $156.63. It's not the most percentage I've saved on a shopping trip, but it was a BIG haul and the first time I didn't feel completely overwhelmed by it. Yay for learning and improving, and hooray for stretching dollars!
