On a scale of super cheap to cheap, I’ve just hit SUPER DUPER CHEAP.

I had to pick up milk and some cheese for the week, and as I left the grocery store I saw coupons the store prints out with certain purchases… blowing around in the parking lot.  These coupons are usually pretty good, even throwing in $2.00 off your next grocery bill sometimes, so I started chasing them around.

I now had 10 dirty (but still good) coupons worth $34.75 total in groceries that my wife and I would buy anyway.  I get home because my 20 minute scramble saved us a week’s worth of grocery money and my wife says, “you were late because of some coupons?”

I point out that my 20 minute delay is the same as me making $104.25 an hour, but she just sees dirty scraps of paper next to the cheese.

So my question today is this:  How much money would it take to make you voluntarily delay yourself for 20 minutes?
