One of the things that Teri and I like to do is hunt for bargains.  We consider it a challenge and an accomplishment when we can find a great deal on a product that we really want.  We don’t mind spending some extra time searching for the best price, because we really enjoy the feeling we get when we’ve saved a lot of money on a great product!  Some of our friends think we’re a little bit nuts about this, saying that it isn’t worth their time to find the bargain, but since we think it’s fun, we just ignore them.  One of the things we enjoy doing in our spare time is going to discount outlets that sell closeouts and “scratch and dents” just to bargain hunt!  Sometimes we’ll spend an entire day, or even a whole weekend, bargain hunting.  We’ll go to mile-long community lawn sales, antique stores, second hand stores, just about anywhere!

We have an eclectic taste in home furnishings - some people call that “early marriage” or “lawn sale” decorating, but we only buy things that we absolutely love, and we do a pretty good job of making it all work together.  Teri has a pretty good eye at interior decorating.

Teri has found a new website called Keepcash that offers a lot of e-coupon savings opportunities to a large variety of online stores.  She was telling me that it is updated everyday with daily specials, and that she is going to be looking at it every day to see if she can find a few of the furnishings and appliances that we’ve been talking about upgrading over the next few months.  One of our favorite online stores is Linens ‘N Things, and this website has links and coupons to them, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on that one.
