A little off coupon topic:
This is really going to be a budget trip for us. I told DH we are not buying ANY souvies.

I know that is not realistic because we will get there and a pin will call his name and I will feel like a big meanie if he can't get it or I will see something so cute that I must have it. Usually we go with $x allocated for mad money, we always go over. So if we go with intentions of not spending anything maybe we will keep it under control. Because of buyers guilt
Disclaimer (I know this sound like the last thing we should be doing but I was tired of having the can we/can't we discussion with DH.)
We were never wealthy but where getting to a point where we had paid enough down and were making enough to have a little room for the occasional splurges here and there. (A splurge for us was dinner at Applebee's and a movie)Now getting used to all the cut backs lately has been hard. I didn't feel like we should do this but he insists that we can make it work. Here's hoping my CC does not end up smoking by the end with debt we just don't need. (My goal is not to use the CC at all.) We shall see.
