Every Saturday, Jose and Cleo went grocery shopping together\u2014a tradition built on love, routine, and Cleo\u2019s towering stack of coupons.<\/p>\n

This week, Jose pushed the cart with the enthusiasm of a man heading to jury duty. Cleo, meanwhile, strutted down the aisles with her coupon binder like it was a weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cJose,\u201d she said, shoving a coupon at him, \u201cthis one saves us 50 cents on soup. Grab six cans.\u201d<\/p>\n

He grumbled but obeyed. Five aisles later, she stopped. \u201cWait\u2014this brand is two cents cheaper. Put the soup back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jose\u2019s eye twitched. \u201cCleo, we\u2019ve been here for an hour, and the only thing in the cart is your purse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, at checkout, the cashier rang up the total: $48.72. Cleo beamed and handed<\/p>\n

over the coupons\u2026 all of which had expired last year.<\/p>\n

Jose stared at her. \u201cSo\u2026 we wasted two hours, bought nothing we actually needed, and saved zero dollars?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cleo patted his arm. \u201cNo, Jose. We saved our marriage\u2014because this way, you didn\u2019t spend that time in the garage ignoring me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
