[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your responses are hilarious.

I am very cheap/frugal which why DW and I have separate financial accounts.
Also, do cost/financial for a living.

For incidentals/recurring expenses like dog food, basic groceries, paper towels and l do most of the shopping.
However, when DW does need to purchase something I ask basic questions, do you have a coupon or could we wait a little bit longerto buy in larger volume when an item is on sale.

For example, last week one of our dogs "WILL" need $100 eye meds and she called the Vet they wore out and local HT pharmacy wanted $130.  [b]I said no dear that likes a 30% markup.[/b]
Just need to ask the Vet when its available.  I said with $30 you can take me out for an ice cream cone something.

I know, I am cheap dirtbag but I just see purchasing stuff without consideration for savings or understanding unit costs has a compounding effect.
Like having to work longer because I am overspending.

Yes, stupid moron, and when it's your kid who's suffering and needs meds NOW? Or yourself? Will you pick leaves from your garden to wipe yourself when you realize you've run out of every kind of paper in the house, just because the sale on TP doesn't start until next week?

You sound quite as impractical and unfeeling as my husband with Asperger's. Strangely enough, when he's responsible for the shopping, he buys all that's needed, even if the price isn't rock-bottom :-)

You men - always control issues.

Yes and furthermore PP when you talk down to her like she's a child (see bolded above), does she have to close her eyes and gather herself or does she go ahead and clock you for being an asshole? If you'd like to stay married, you might keep that attitude in check.[/quote]
