I can't shop unless I make the math first before buying anything and knowing I am getting the best deals. When going grocery shopping I take the coupons and my groceries list before anything I can spend 3 hours looking up prices quantity. I hate wasting money. A lot of my friends tell me that my ways if saving money are to extreme and they called me crazy. But If someone doesn't want furniture or clothing they tell me their donating it to goodwill I tell them hey I will take it. I can proudly say at my age 30 now I have no debt. I don't used credit cards my worst enemies. When going shopping I take my most important tool calculator , note , book, coupons and wallet. I know a lot of people on here will called me crazy lol
I don’t think you’re crazy. I do the same thing but I use the calculator on my phone and note pad on my phone.
The fact you are 30 and debt free speaks for itself. I’d be willing to bet all your friends that call you crazy have mountains of debt as do most Americans. Meanwhile they don’t make much of an attempt to save money and wonder why they’re always broke.

My Irish granny was a thrifty shopper too and always had a fridge full of good stuff for cheap. The question is how much time and energy are you spending on all this, and is the money you save worth all the effort and time to search for all the deals, drive to different stores, etc. It's kind of like people who never get to enjoy life because they are always working, but different.
I can understand not wasting money, but your time also has a monetary value. Are you saving more money than you earn in 3 hours?

You're only crazy for not doing it on your phone! :)
Not a bad idea, but you probably already have a calculator on your phone. Just use that.
No, you are not crazy! I am like that too. You seem smart and are quite cute too. :)

It is only crazy if you become obsessed with frugality and it takes over your life.
Yes I will call you crazy. Crazy froogle and crazy smart. Keep doing what you are doing. Develop formulas and habits of doing mental math instead. And or don't care of what others think.
I use coupons too. But im not an extreme couponer.
