'So We Have Eighty-Seven Transactions'

  • When you get a really hot deal, you just feel...a high.
  • I never want to forget my shopping trips, and all the savings that happened, so every week, when I do my grocery run, I'm so excited to get home, because then I can take a picture of it.
  • Do y'all want to look through the album of Mommy's favourite shopping trips?
  • When she came home with over 300 dog collars, I thought to myself, 'She's gone a little crazy.' Because we didn't have a dog.
  • Barbecue sauce. How many are on the list?
    Three hundred and forty-eight.
    These are going to be awesome party favours.
  • I needed the cases. They all looked symmetrical.
  • Are we only getting this because it'll look good in your stockpile?
    Yes.
    ...Really?
  • As it goes in our house: 'Know your role; shut your hole.' So when she says something, you better do it.
  • So we have eighty-seven transactions.
  • Every week, I spend over fifty hours couponing.
  • So Ma, you're going to have to help me [do the grocery shopping]. It's not going to be long. Maybe...six hours.
  • My goal is to get it under a hundred [dollars]. If it's $99.99, I'll be okay, but if it's a hundred dollars and one penny, I'm going to freak out.  I'm going to freak out. [It ends up being just over $118. And she does freak out.]
