…you sit down on a Saturday night with a pen, paper, a big glass of tea, and Hot Coupon World to plan out a month’s worth of scenarios for CVS and Walgreens

…you are proud of your coupon binder and show it off to everyone

…you use your older children to go through the checkout lines so you can make multiple purchases faster

…if your 11 year old knows how to roll over ECB’s and RR to get the least out of pocket expense

..if your 11 year old tells you a better order you to pay for your stuff in to get an even LOWER OOP expense.

Aprel’s parsimonious adventures have led to $55 in RR and $70 plus dollars in ECB in her wallet. I almost lost my wallet. I was soo more concerned about loosing my ECB than my credit cards. :)

If you know what those acronyms mean, you might be parsimonious.

If you have your transactions set to where you only spend 35 cents or less OOP to maximize every cent of the ECB, you might be parsimonious.

If you google for coupons, you might be parsimonious.

If you check Money saving mom, Be Thifty or this blog more than 3 times in a day, you might be parsimonious.

If you cry when you see a coupon left in your pant during laundry as it is wasted, you might be parsimonious.

If you check the blogs to plan your Sunday sale shopping the Wednesday before the ads are out, you might be parsimonious.

OK that is more than one sentence. But I had fun with the Jeff twist.
