Because TP is on sale. LOL
Funny how the small things make you happy when you're pinching pennies.
7 people & a dayhome...I go through a lot of TP!
Ok, I'm also happy because:
DH is working Th-Fr-Sa-Su this week at double time, so his Feb 15th pay will have an extra 80 hrs of pay on it!
AND
I'm a BzzAgent (Have you heard of this? It's great!) and I got my latest BzzKit in the mail for DanActive, so I get some free samples of that and coupons to hand out to other people...which makes me happy because I can help other people save money too lol.
Small things keep me going & smiling!

It's a funny thing when we become frugal.

congrats!
Congrats on the good deals, and DH working all the OT!
Its funny what can make you smile. I was at Babys-R-Us on New Years day. We had a gift card for the two smaller DDs and I wanted to get some new plug in toys for her exersaucer, a hold over from the toddler and not in great condition. They were having a 30% off everything sale. I walked in and they had 7th Generation paper towels, an 8 pack for $7.57. I thought huh, that is great, even for regular paper towels any day. After doing all my shopping, got to the check out line, they rang up $5.29!! I was darn excited! I told DH about it afterwards, he kept looking at me funny shaking his head. He didn't understand at all why I was so excited... Oh well, at least one of us was excited. ;-)
I'm totally there with you all on this. I have become a fiend with coupons for stuff like dog food and cleaning supplies. My husband does the grocery shopping (goes to two stores every week to save money. He's not the problem in our household!). But I do have my small victories too. I did one of those bundle things with the telephone company which also is our internet provider. I used to pay about $64 combined to phone and internet and then anywhere from $50 to $150 on long distance for AT&T for long distance (I use a lot of long distance for my work which I could write off but that's a pain). The bundle thing gives me unlimited long distance,plus a break on phone and internet. My total bill is now $70 for all three!
Nice TP deal! Awesome over time!
I know what you mean here. My last grocery trip I only spent $114 with gas coupons, regular coupons and a gift card. I was so excited! Its usually over $200 a trip.
I was also pretty excited I won my curling game on Wednesday. Obviously it doesn't take much. BF said I was beaming!! I will take every victory right now as I feel like a failure with my finances at times.
And I will be excited for you too when you get a different dryer! LOL!
