Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

I just watched a woman get $180 of groceries for -$15. You read that right, MINUS $15 (after coupons). The cashier said "we can't owe you money, you'll have to buy more stuff" so the woman bought my 3 items for me and a few for the person behind me. Wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself!

I started chatting with the woman, asking if she does that everytime she shops and such, and her son (maybe 10 years old) tells me I should marry her. I chat with her out to the parking lot about her coupon clipping and am still in shock that she got her groceres for free. She told me she usually gets 85-90% off her bill each time. So her $800 monthly bill has gotten down to less than $100. Her son chimes in again that I should marry her.

So we near the parking lot and I headed off to my car while they did something else. As I'm getting in my Vette, they walk past me and the kid see's my Vette and with this look of awe in his face again tells me to marry her. Now I'm thinking not only does he want a dad, but a dad with a Vette would be even better!

Amazing, Adam. My wife uses coupons, but not to that extent. I feel really sorry for the kid, sounds like he's very lonesome for a dad. Sounds like a really Mystic-al story...

Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.

the only reason she can get food for free is because her ex husband is paying so much in support that she has time to clip all those coupons, nothing is ever as it appears to be.
just being stupid, that is a reallly cool story
