My shame and my pride:

Today I broke the mythical "50% savings" barrier on my Shaw's grocery savings sickness (the prior champion...yes, we save these...is on the left...faded, yet still proud).

A little backstory: I am mildly obsessed about "savings," in a purely numerical, almost-meaningless fashion. I clip coupons, scan for deals, and purchase groceries almost purely based on store sales in combination with coupons. I validate this practice by saying things like "we tend to eat a wider variety of food by not having any silly 'brand loyalties," and I will never go so far as to purchase 65 bags of "Cheese, Bacon, and Tortured Game Hen flavored Lard Puffs" simply because they are on a special "buy 7 get 8 more free" deal...I try to purchase stuff that is healthy and environmentally- and ethically- sound.

This, of course, mostly makes Kat mad.

But really, i'm a sad, small man.

But hey, 50%...that's something to celebrate. I'm going to treat myself to some lard-puffs.

Nice to see someone else into coupons :) Of course i am one of those that buys a lot of one item. Like if its free or 10cents(with my coupons) ill probably buy/take 40 or more :)
