Make us laugh: share your nicknames...

I had a really funny e-mail exchange this week with reader Michele. She said her husband, Tristan, says she practices "Cou Pon Do," like Tae Kwon Do but with coupons. According to Michele, she has a 9th degree black belt.

I thought that was just hysterical, and it reminded me of a post not so long ago when I said my husband calls me the Coupon Fairy, since I like to share the wealth at the store.

What funny nicknames have you earned with your savvy shopping ways? Please share! I have a feeling this could be a fun one!

Whenever I come home from the grocery, my husband says, "OK Sue Stock Jr., what deals did you get."

Re: Make us laugh: share your nicknames...

I have been called many things for using coupons - none of them cute! But I do have a cute (sorta) story over on my blog about me, my MIL and coupons!

My husband calls me the "Coupon Pirate"
We have a 6 yr old boy who was very much into pirates for awhile. I would go out shopping and come home with all this "loot" and "booty" from the stores. My husband jokes that I threaten checkers with "walkin' the plank" if they don't give me lots of stuff for free! :D
AAAARRRGGHH!

Re: Make us laugh: share your nicknames...

LOL! That's awesome! and I am very flattered!

Re: Make us laugh: share your nicknames...

Sue,
Your blog was the very first blog I ever read. I simultaneously was learning about blogs and coupons at the same time. Without intention, you became "The Blog Lady" in our household, LOL.

Re: Make us laugh: share your nicknames...

Ever since I helped my father save $5 off his grocery bill at the
Super Walmart by using several coupons, he now calls me "Coupon Annie".
