Today Chris was giving me a hard time because I have a stash of food in a Rubbermaid container in the basement. (His actual words were, "I saw your bin of food in the basement, Bert!")
He was referring to my Grandma Bert, the original couponer and bargain shopper. Her "back bedroom" is literally filled with goods she's purchased on sale, for free, etc. over the last who-knows-how-many years. At one time (I'm not sure what the current status is), you really couldn't walk more than a couple of feet into that room. Chris has made it clear that if my bargain shopping goods ever begin to take over a room, he will take away my coupons and newspapers.
Anyway, he made the comment about the bin, and I explained to him that all the food in there was stuff I got for FREE, and why-oh-why would I leave it in the store if it was FREE?!? Rory overheard this conversation and pointed out,
"Mom, you always want to buy stuff that's free. You won't even buy anything if its not ON FREE!!"
You are correct, my child.
