I've been married for 30 years and have never been on a honeymoon with my wife because I haven't found a good enough deal yet!

No, no, no.

Thats when you're posting the latest Canon A40 deal while getting some from RossWIFE from bed on the laptop with wifi.

In accordance with the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, I actually am more Ferengi than RossMAN.

I'd open a bbq pit and be burning onions and grilling sausage across the street from a Jenny Craig 24/7.

I'm so bad, most of the deals I do I can't post in Hot Deals...

Wanted a new HP printer, plugged the model into My Simon.com for some prices, hit on a great price on Outpost.com, printed the page, went to Staples, did the pricematch 110%, gave them a $50 coupon. Got home & looked @ the page/model I printed up & PM'd to & realized it was to a cheaper model that didn't even really look like the one I got.

MSRP $699, PM'd to $399, - $50 coupon=glad I didn't get thrown out of the store price:eek:

I cannot stand buyer's remorse!

I have just as much of a hard time swallowing the thought that I paid more than could have for an item as buying a lesser item when another more expensive item is superior.

Do I investigate any purchase to the point of infuriating my spouse? Yes, but I sleep better at night. Besides, she stays out of my computer purchases except for the embarrasment shone about the UPS man coming 3 times a week. :eek:

Hey, there is nothing wrong with having UPS come 3 times a week!

That was in the wild bush country of Diamond Head on Oahu, right?

Examples of my Ferengi-ness:

1. I pay MSRP for nothing. NOTHING.

2. I wanted to subscribe to the local paper, but I waited until they sweetened the deal with a $10.00 Home Depot gift certificate to actually subscribe.

3. When making a substantial (> $100.00) purchase, my friends always consult me first. (and I always find them a better price)

I managed to get 20% off GAS once.

From WAL MART at that!

Dad finagled USA Today free with the regular paper.

I've been borderline thrown out of a Staples store before. I've been in a shouting match with a BB manager.

I made dad drive to Miami AND Orlando just to load up on PS2's at Virgin Megastore last year.

I wanted to pricematch a RIFLE. I've pricematched Pepsi before.

I buy candy 4 times a year. December 26th, February 15th, Monday after Easter, and November 1st.

I do all my christmas shopping on the 26th.

Every staples and OD manager knows me by name and can sense the oncoming PM.

My list of emergency numbers says: Police, fire, ISP, Staples, Office Depot, et al.

I use coupons for my oil changes.

I regret getting gas a day after the price drops a penny. I even turn the nozzle upside down to get the last drops in.

There was a traffic jam Wednesday and I wanted to open a roadside stand selling ice cold budweiser and hot dogs for 30 minutes.

How's that for ferengi?
