I don't want to ever look cheap, but I'll admit, I do feel embaressed sometimes about using coupons, like at restraunts, or today, when I went to Kroger and got 10 tubes of toothpaste to make sure of my BOGO coupons before they expired, lol. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because people usually sigh and complain about how much longer it takes for my stuff to be rung up. That $35 less for the groceries after coupons though makes up for any discomfort I might ever have. I also don't ever, ever want to look cheap when giving a gift. I remember one Christmas we had just married, and had zero extra money, I mean, grocery budget was $20 a week for two of us, for 21 meals! And I managed to scrape together a little something for coworkers at my new job, an upscale gift shop, and they all looked at me like I was an insect, with my little gift. I was so humiliated, but I tried not to act like it. Ever since though, I get a little paranoid over gift giving.
