Dang near fell over

I was standing in line at the store today and one of the people behind me told the cashier that she diden't want the card and that nothing was on sale that she had.  So I let the cashier run my card for the gal behind me and she saved 5 dollars on her bill today.  And I got the points from her purchase also.  Well that is what some folks get when they have way to much money and way to much time on thier hands around here.  Some folks think that they are better than others here in the Niagara Falls area anyway like I care what some folks think of me anyway around here.  With the unenployment still riseing around here I watch what I do and when I do it all.  That and I streach out the money very hard for the place where I am at.  Between shopping the sales, coupons, and the discount cards to help save money around here I also turn alot of things off also while I am at it during the day around here.  There are so many things that I do around here to streach out the dollars it is not even funny at all anymore.  My Hubby was shocked when I came home and he asked in how much I really spent while I was out.  I was like 250 dollars and I am done with part of the month around here also.  Well shopping for 2 kitchens is not easy let me tell you.  So I get it all done for the most part one day at a time around here.  With the trip to Kmart today and with the one gal thinking she was all that when she wasen't.  So I got alot of things done while I was out of the can for 2 hrs and now to start thinking of what I have forgot about for the truck also.  It will be done cheaply around here of course for the rest of the month in what else I have to get.  My Husband laughs at some of the things I do untill he realizes that I have done streached the dollar out once again around here.  I can laugh about it now.  There were and still are times where we just plain out duke it out still around here about what was done and what happened also.  This is what happends when you streach out the dollars as hard as we have over the years.  I remember one time that I was over at the one store and was grabbing the bread that was going to be thrown out.  Well the manager of the grocery store at the time asked if I could wait there for about a half an hour.  The man loaded up the Honda at the time and the Battle was on when I got home.  We were so broke at the time and knowing that my sister in law was on her way up at the time I needed milk also.  Well I brought back the 20 dollars that I had with me and after Sarge broke out and I shut him up and told of what happaned he felt the guilt.  We are laughing about it now around here after his sister got into it also with me and I put her back in her place.  There is to many stories to tell about being cheap around here.  I also passed on what the manager at the time did for me also.  So here I am going as cheap as I can go around here without getting hollared at again.  This is why I do not mind being home alone during the week also around here I can do things without my Husband knowing about what I do around here to save money in more ways than one.  Between the paper plates that are not here and I do not miss them one bit also to cutting down on the cleaning supplies also while I am at it all I do not get bothered to much from the household.  Now when folks come in and start asking where is this and that and myself saying that we don't have that nor do I want it they get mad about it.
