Ya, someday I need to just come and stay with you and have you teach me the whole grocery shopping coupon thing.

Myranda, I have a huge favor to ask you. This summer while I am up there would you mind if we went shopping together a few times and you showed me how this works, please? It would me a lot to me and my family and my budget!!
