Ok, today I was going to a friend's house for dinner and she asked me to bring some salad dressing, knowing of my stockpile. I must have 10 bottles or more. I realized about 3 minutes from her house that I FORGOT THE DRESSING. In my irrational-must-not-actually-pay-for-dressing moment, I pulled into the grocery store parking lot, merely to turn around. (I was willing to drive 15 minutes to get the dressing from home versus actually pay for salad dressing WITHOUT a coupon). My husband looked at me like I was crazy and said to just go in and buy it.
I really thought I was going to have a melt down. So sad. Over $2--I'd probably spend 1/2 that in gas (not really cause I'm actually calculating this in my head) not to mention we were already 30 min late!! This is serious. Knowing I had 10+ bottles of dressing I had paid nothing for made $2.87 seem extravagant. After staring at the shelves in disbelief I finally settled for a store brand for about $1.50.
The story has a happy ending however. They didn't really need the dressing after all and I will return it as soon as I get back to a Lowe's. Close call....Only a couponer can really understand the ridiculousness of this situation!
I had to laugh--I'm officially obsessed with coupons!
