Triple Coupon Week has really spoiled me. At Harris Teeter today, I spent $37.44 and saved $54.51, a savings of 59 percent. Intellectually I know this is pretty good, especially considering I bought a lot of stuff we needed, but I’ve gotten so used to 70 percent off my total bill that I’m like “I [...] They came! They came! They came! These might be the coolest thing we’ve gotten with credit-card rewards yet. From my selfish perspective, at least. A couple of years ago, my husband and I lived in an apartment with a lot of noise — the neighbors were loud, the walls were thin, the whole place was poorly [...] A co-worker sent me a link to this New York Times story this morning, adding, “in case you haven’t already seen it.” I had not, in fact, already seen it, and was delighted, not only because someone out there is monitoring coupon-related media to send to me, but because I am apparently cool now.

They wanted me to take the tin foil out of their store for no money whatsoever. What could I do? I had to. I’ve been spending the weekend teaching myself HTML and CSS out of a book, and if all goes well I might [...] “You should get some more of that Cookie Crisp,” Mr. Jones said. “The vanilla with the sprinkles?” I said. “Yes,” he said. “I want to crush it up and put it on ice cream. So then it will be, like, meta-sprinkles.” “But I don’t have a coupon,” I said. He looked at me. “Not everything we buy has to [...] Harris Teeter’s Triple Coupon Week continues to provide me with abundance and joy. They had stocked up on some stuff by the time I got there tonight — frozen veggies and pizza rolls in particular looked like they’d recently been attended to. The checkout lady was super-nice to me, congratulating me on how much [...] When I came home from Harris Teeter tonight, I triumphantly declared to my husband (henceforth to be referred to as “Mr. Jones,” because why not?) that I might actually have edged out Gandhi and Bruce Springsteen to become the greatest person in history.
