Okay - so I have 10 mins to run into Albertsons and grab a few things before picking the kids up from school....After parking I notice the license plate on a van a few cars down from me.. SIS SAV.....so I think of Sister savings...( for those of you who don't know what I am talking about, she has her own website where she prints out all of the ad match prices of the week in a PDF. It totally saves me a ton of time and loads of money!)
I totally stalked her through the store and finally got up enough nerve to say something...so I snuck up with her in front of the pork chops and said
"I saw your license plate." ( smooth, eh?)
she looks at me kinda funny....."Oh, the Sister Savings....."
I take a step closer..."Are you really her?" ( I am such a nerd!)
I think she is scared at this point....she smiles and nods, yes.
I literally yell...Oh My Gosh! I love you! I use your website all the time...I am only here without my lists because the strawberries are better here!!!" ( ???? wth?)
The lady thinks I am nuts for sure.
So, I try to act normal and say" I really appreciate all you do on your website....I read on there that you are going to have to start charging money to use it, how much will you charge?"
She goes on to tell me that it was supposed to have happened a long time ago, and people are telling her that she will lose all of her people, and she is making a huge mistake...etc....but she has to, her husband lost income and they can't afford to maintain it anymore.... She is going to charge 5$ a month.
I say" That's perfect...I will stay..it is totally worth it ....I save 150$ a month at least using your lists!
She smiles big and reaches out and hugs me....
Me and Sister Savings embrace in Albertsons!!!
How cool is that?

You are so funny! I almost cried reading this post because I could hear you speak it...I could hear the excitement in your voice and it made me miss you!
I agree with Michele, that you can hear your voice in that blog! Very discriptive! You probably made her day! That is cool that you save that much money because of that site. I really need to check out the one they do here.
That's why I love you, you can admit when your a nerd!
