So every now and then I will receive emails from you saying that your spouse (be it male or female) isn’t supportive of your couponing ventures. You tell me that your spouse rolls their eyes or that your spouse complains that you spend too much time getting your grocery list and coupons in order. So I wanted to find out, is this common? My husband is really supportive – so supportive that he went shopping for me in the fall when I was recovering from surgery and stuck in bed. But I know (from many of you) that sometimes our significant others just don’t get the concept of couponing or why we should do it.
If you watched Extreme Couponing two weeks ago, you would have seen one of the husband’s of the extreme couponer basically rolling his eyes. (Now she was extreme and she did have huge a bit of a hoarding mentality.) But still, I was surprised that he wasn’t more supportive of her saving as much money as she did.
So, I wanted to ask, do you ever feel alone in this couponing venture? Do you feel supported by your significant other? And, if you do feel supported, do you have advice for the readers that email me telling me they feel alone?
P.S. I really don’t want you all to start complaining about your spouses or using this as a bashing session. That is not my intent at all. 🙂 Instead, I would love constructive wisdom shared.
