Who's the bigger cheapskate?

Are you on a tight budget?  How do you save big bucks at the grocery store? 

I recently read a nifty little book called "The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches," by Jeff Yeager.  He appeared on the Today show in a cheapskate smackdown with Stephanie Nelson of The Coupon Mom.

I don't know about you, but I tend towards Jeff's more spontaneous approach.  I've tried the coupon thing and found that I'm just a little too disorganized to make it work.   Plus, I asked my boys, and they said they'd rather shop with Jeff at the dollar store for hot dogs and sausages than get a bunch of Total cereal and asparagus with Stephanie.

I'll bet Stephanie is also into scrap-booking and has bound back issues of Martha Stewart's Living magazine in her library.    Would Jeff blow his cash on that stuff?  I think not.

Come to think of it, my makeup, hair and wardrobe are closer to Jeff's, too.
