Simple & Easy way to save

Post by Rich-Ando »

don't give your wife a credit card.

tell her that a 2 for 1 offer isn't saving money, it's cheaper not to buy them at all.

Better to let her go shopping with the card, then phone up and say it has been stolen and cancel it :lol:

She will be too embarrassed to ever use it again :thumbright:

Any wife worth her salt knows that she goes shopping on her own, then she proudly shows hubby the sale/money off price (all good wives have their own red marker pen)
