Before you leave for vacation, you check out the area's grocery store deals and contrive ways to fit the deals into your suitcase for the trip home.

Your 16 year-old son meets his next girlfriend at school because he notices that her packed lunch consist of the same snacks that we have in our pantry. I guess this is the new pick up line… "so I see that your mom is a couponer also, we must have a lot in common". As I am taking him up to her house to meet her for the first time he explains to me that I am going to love her mom because she shops with coupons also. Just to report, her mom and I did hit it right off and I ended up giving a coupon class at their ward enrichment. What do you say!!

… a crumpled up piece of paper on the ground looks like a coupon.
… you can watch a sappy movie without emotion, but get teary-eyed at the sight of your pantry.

… you don't need to buy shampoo for the next 3 years.
… you can't send your husband to the store with a list, because he won't be able to figure it out.
Kim Hutchens

…You see a fellow shopper price-matching the same items you're grabbing, so you happily pass her an extra coupon, and she thanks you… a little surprised. =)
