grrrrr,
Just got home from Bedford Walmart, my husband and I were kid free so we did an up and down every isle shop. Had the cart loaded with items we were using coupons on and a child asked their parent why I had that stack in my hand and the mother said..."Because she's cheap" So I responded to the child and said "because I like to save money and take my child to Crystal Palace and Atlantic Playland once a month" grrrrrr,
wow - nice example she is for her child.
how rude is that!?
aside from the obnoxious lady, it's nice that you and your husband had some kid-free time and were able to go through all the aisles.
sounds fun.
did you get any deals you're especially happy about?
I love your comeback though. lol
I am sorry Halifaxgirl that that happened to you. Sometimes there are just miserable people out there that need to bring other people down with them, but it sounds like you handled yourself pretty well! :)
I would have told her "yep, cheap...which is better than being rude".
Nice one !
BAHAHA!!! I bet that child will be asking mom to take them to fun places today !!! Im sure that kid bugging the mom will make up for it!
Id rather " be cheap" than be lazy and pay full price!
I think I would have gone with the same, 'Better to be cheap than rude.' ... and then slash her tires in the parking lot. JK
I would of said, my money will be in my wallet when I leave, can't say the same for you.....
lol, thanks all! I just spit out what came to mind at the moment which is actually what I do with the money I save. I always deposit my savings into a safe spot and we use it for family fun or special things that we normally wouldn;t have bought. This summer we bought all new camping equipment with just savings since May.
Anawhatsme - nothing too much, resolve for $1, oasis jr juice for $.46, mccain pizza for $2, sundae syrup, jello mousse, i forget really, i saved $28 though so I must have gotten some good stuff.....lol
good for you!
it is hard to believe the rude Sh*t people say sometimes. ... good come back ;)
Halifaxgirl
good response to the child.
The child asked a valid question.
Don't be angry. Be sorry for the child.:smartass:
Your children get to live with you and learn from you.:top:
That poor child doesn't have a chance in life, with that mother.:sad:
well it's true... you're cheap :lol:
but cheap doesn't have to be a bad thing ;)
