Okay so here is why.... I love all things free and cheap. Now that is not what makes me crazy, it is the reaction to all things free and cheap. Take today for example, I had 2 coupons for these nut cluster things, they were for a $1 off and they are on sale for 2 for $5. Okay so if you just get one, and Homeland doubles the coupon you get it for $.62! Are you kidding me, thats great! Well here is where the problem lies, when I went to the first Homeland they were out. My heart sank. I this total sense of anixty wash over me.... I had to get to other Homeland before they ran out.
I rushed across town, got the kids out of the car and ran around the store like a crazy person looking for these cluster things! I found them, they were not out....I could breath again! I bought two packages, thats all the coupons I had. If I would have had more, believe me there would be more at my house.
Well, Ray will tell you that this is a theme all through my life. I will go anywhere for a free meal. If there is food involved and I don't have to pay...I'm there. That is how Ray gets me to go to sporting events, his bank always has food before games, so I'm there.
Once Target had a coupon for a free candy bar. I went to Target all the time trying to get these candy bars, by the time the sale was over I had a collected at least 40 candy bars. The thing is, there was only gross flavors, but I bought them anyway...it was free what else was I gonna do? So I gave some away, I ate some and in the end I threw a bunch away because they went bad. I don't know what else to say, I guess I should apologize for being so greedy, and wanting everything free I can get, but I'm not. Maybe I should go see a therapist....don't be crazy, that costs money
What is wrong with free? I happen to like free. I don't thinkI'm as insane as you are about it, but life is like that. I've never been as insane as you are. And that's why we love you! Love your blogs, hysterically funny! And if you really are considering therapy, might I suggest alcohol? Much cheaper and it can enable you to forget your troubles rather than 'talking' about them. Which is so boring anyway. ;) I'd say have fun, but you sound like you have been.
