I defy you to find a better way to spend 88 cents.

Every week, I get a large packet of advertisements in my mailbox. When I got my own place and had to actually start watching how much money I spent on things, I saw these weekly packets of coupons as a happy little surprise.

$10 off of an oil change from Jiffy Lube.
Buy one get one free sandwiches at Sonic.
20% of off shampoo and conditioner sets at the Walgreens.

It was never a lot of savings, but it adds up. I’ve probably saved nearly $100.00 in the 10 months in which I’ve been culling savings from the glossy pages of the packet of coupons. Never before, though, did I see something so awe-inspiring as what I am about to reveal…

This week, I opened up my little glossy packet to discover that a local petstore is selling baby hamsters for 88 cents apiece. That’s right, 88 cents.

Given that I’ve surely saved about 100 dollars via other coupons…. Well, let’s just say that adds up to a nice little writhing heap o’baby hamsters.

I just wish that I could have pets at my apartment complex. I would so totally splurge on baby hamsters.
