Fun Personality Quiz

Ashley had posted this and it looked fun! I'm amazed at how accurate it was on most things. It's funny how it can be done just using pictures. Here are my results...How do you compare?

Help! I have a deal problem!

No, seriously!!! A blog post by my sister got me thinking about the stores that get my money. As I started to think about it, the more concerned I got...

Oh, how I have a love-hate relationship with the marketing people at Gymboree. First, those blasted gymbucks and then a big back to school sale that I can also use a 30% off coupon for and then with that purchase I have more gymbucks that I will feel compelled to use in October!I have renewed my subscription for my 5 (yes, you read that right) Sunday papers to get my stockpile of coupons built up. I was saving SO MUCH money last winter while building up my stockpiles and I know there are some GOOD sales coming up!Then the dreaded W store! I curse the people who built a new one on the south end of Cache Valley. Now the 20 minutes to Walmart doesn't seem too bad and I find myself walking out with all kinds of "Deals"!Last week, my sister in law called me and asked if I had heard about the jean sale going on at GAP. Well, let's just say that since I happened to be in the car and only needed to go 10 minutes out of my way to the nearest GAP, I (well, my kids to be exact) am now the proud owner of 5 new pairs of jeans. Then to top it off, this morning I checked my email to find a 25% off coupon that I could combine with that deal and I am currently resisting the urge to hit the "place order" button that would bring 4 more pairs of jeans to my door. (I mean you can never have enough 'good deal' jeans especially, when my kids seem to kill the knees in 10 seconds flat!)Well, you get the picture. Basically, anywhere that has deal and then if I have coupons to make the deal sweeter, forget about it. I have been getting some GREAT deals for back to school and we have to eat. Right? The bottom line is I'm a sucker for a good deal. Here's the big place where my competitive nature comes out. I love to see just how good of a deal I can get and have a 'Can you top this story?'. Well, can you?

Note: Robert doesn't read my blog regularly so please don't tip him off to my problem. I take care of all the bills and in this case ignorance IS bliss. I'm scared I will have my credit card and computer privileges revoked ;) !
