Its not that I'm cheap...

.. I just love a good deal.

The thing I can't figure out about myself, is why my couponing strategy, zeal, passion doesn't carry over to grocery shopping. Although I'm pretty good about using the bonus discount card, there is absolutely no way that I EVER remember coupons for groceries. e.g. i will forget to use coupons that are attached to the item that I'm buying. "buy item x and save $1.00 now". yeah.. my pantry is filled with boxes with those coupons on them.. eh.. what can I do?

But I do I have a practice that is quite miserly. Actually its a practice that rides the fine line between genuis and cheapness. Okay.. so my little sony radio that I wear around my arm when I go to the gym, it uses triple A batteries that wear out in about 15 to 20 trips to the gym. But me being the genius that I am, I don't throw that batteries away. NO. I save them for my television/cable remote controls which require a significantly lower amount of battery power per use in order to operate. Seriously, the alleged dead batteries from the sony radio will last at least 6 months in the remote control.. Genius or cheapness? Either way, I'm sure mom and dad would be proud to know that I clearly learned something in my circuit design courses. Now that's tuition $$ well spent!
