Not exactly a coupon-clipper but...

I realized today that I've become one of those annoying people that constantly brags about how little they paid for something. The following conversation is based on real events, but not verbatim

I'm guilty of it too but does it bother people? I don't really think of it as bragging but pride in the hunt of a bargain. shit is so over priced nowadays, we should feel good about scoring great deals!

[oldfrenchho]

Maybe it doesn't bother people, but I'm reminding myself of my grandma. And that's not good.

this is the first step of many leading to you being a pack rat old woman. When you start saving empty mayo jars you are close to rock bottom.

Ha, don't get me wrong, I don't collect shit. One of my favorite things to do is throw things away/clean/reorganize. I don't have a box of old, useless keys or save pieces of used wrapping paper, oh no.

I'm just one frugal motherfucker and, apparently, so proud of it that conversations like the one above happen daily.

i do that. like all.the.time. but mostly to let people know where i scored a good deal. gotta let a sista know, y'know?

[oldfrenchho]

From one cheap sista to anotha, I appreciate that.

[shadymonkichi]

i do that constantly.

the current favorite are the true religion jeans i picked up at buffalo exchange in houston for $40 - i just saw them in metropark in austin yesterday for $239. IN YOUR FACE, OVERPRICED DENIM!

[oldfrenchho]

See, now you're talkin. Buffalo Exchange, you're my one true love.

(Good to know that fancy lawyers still bargain shop. I thought once you entered that world the cool thing to do was brag about HOW MUCH you paid for something.)
