And You Wonder Why I'm Cheap.

I'm not obsessive about coupons, but for all my favorite spots and purchases, I know how to get a better deal. There's always a coupon in the local newspaper for my favorite Indian restaurant. Whenever I shop at Bigg's I always go back into the store to take advantage of the "FREE coupon" deal they give me at the checkout. For pizza coupons, I keep the national Reach magazine (which also always has a coupon to my favorite Italian restaurant.) I'm signed up on the New York & Co. mailing list so I can print out their coupons when I shop there.

Just the other day at dinner, my dad boasted that he went online to print out a $1 coupon for the chinese buffet he took my aunt to. And the buffet costs $8.

Sigh.
