A WAHumorous World

My wife's hinting about Valentine's stuff. I'm worrying about the cost of Valentine's stuff. I am cheap , after all.

I've bought probably 80% of the family gifts online in the past couple of years. I'm online anyway - when my mind draws a blank or I'm just plain bushed, I'll do some casual online shopping. Even at the last minute, it still beats being in a mall full of equally crazed people scrambling for something to give from the last few pickings. Otherwise, when it's not that busy, I just plain hate shopping. I'm a guy with a guy's philosophy about it: go in, grab it, pay and go.

It never occured to me to use online coupons. Instead, I would go to the site that sold what I wanted to get and pay whatever they asked. Done, but not done cheap. This could not go on.

A while ago, I was thumbing through a Readers' Digest and found an ad for a 10% discount at one of my favorite online stores that was already cheap. But was it cheap enough? This time, I looked up a one of those sites and there was a page chock full of Overstock deals waiting patiently for me. Better yet, these included offers Overstock didn't offer.

Valentine's Day tends to hurt a bit more for me because it not only follows Christmas and Nwe Years' Day, but also our wedding anniversary, Yeah, ouch. Those old corroded pennies on the sidewalk start looking mighty good by then.
