As to the announcement, I can't wait either. :) I can see the gas money part, but at $2+ savings, it’s likely that we will save that much with gas since we will just go when we are on the way to some other place.

I gotta say though, its amazing how many money matters come up each day. From buying a small lunch at a fast food joint, getting groceries, buying a chew toy for the dog, paying utilities... yikes.

One of my thoughts was the walk-away from the store. Did you actually save money when you take the gas used into account? When saving, you have to take everything into account to determine if you actually saved. Looking forward to the baby announcement news. cd :O) It sounds like you had a fun day which is probably the most important. One of my thoughts was the walk-away from the store.

And it's great you both use coupons with such enthusiasm because that way you'll know you're saving most times. I think it’s great how in-sync you guys are finance-wise.

The one warning that I would add is that just because you have a coupon doesn't mean that you should be making a purchase, or that it's a good deal. To really make frugality work, use coupons and sales to only purchase items that you would have purchased anyways in your day to day life. Coupons are yet another means that corporations get us to splurge on items that we don't really need. (ex. 50c off glade plug in, 10 years ago people would use a little lysol, or maybe bake some apples to make the house smell good) Coupons are advertisements. And Coupons make corporations big money. Why? because the profit margin is big enough to make up the difference. So use coupons, but be cautious about using them to justify unneeded spending. I’m all about saving money and using coupons.

However, it's worth the time, as it really adds up. It's not necessarily the dollar amount, but the whole mindset of not being wasteful that ends up making a big difference.

It's evident that you both are on one accord and that's why it works. Oh, and you've motivated me to start filling out those surveys on coupons. Thanks for that.
