You know you're a Wisebread reader if...
What makes a Wisebread reader? Why are you guys so, well, special? I sat, I pondered, I scribbled down notes furiously. This is what I came up with. It's a small list, just 30 entries. I have a feeling you crafty folks will have more to add before the week is out. So here we go.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A WISEBREAD READER IF...
- …you haggle for a lower price at the dollar store.
- …the first part of the paper you turn to is the coupon booklet.
- …you still have t-shirts in your closet from the 80s.
- …you find more than two uses for almost everything you own.
- …your eyes go straight to the discount stickers in Target.
- …you’ll search online for three days straight to find the cheapest flights.
- …spending more than $100 makes you sweat a little.
- …you’ll ask for a doggie bag for one forkful of leftover food.
- …you can find designer clothes at WalMart prices.

- …you’ve never paid more than $50 for a 3-star hotel room.
- …store brands fill your pantry.
- …the 10-second rule is absolutely, positively something you endorse.
- …refurbished or reconditioned means just one thing – deal.
- …you check your receipts twice before you leave the store.
- …you’ve set the alarm for 2am to hit the Black Friday sales.
