One of the habits I have that my husband finds most annoying is my fascination with shopping bargains. If he loses me at a store, he knows that he will be able to find me rifling through a clearance bin or walking up and down the discount aisle.

I don’t know what it is, but I have always loved getting a bargain. I would never buy anything at regular price if I didn’t have to. I guess this started a long time ago, when we were young and were struggling financially. The only way I could get things for myself is if I found them on clearance.

Old habits must be hard to break, because although we are financially secure now, I still seek out the sales. When my husband decided to get a new television for the family room, I went on a hunt for LCD TV bargains, telling him we certainly could not buy at full price.

I guess I can see why he might be annoyed with me.
