Yes, if you don’t even go into those stores imagine how much you can save!

She’s spending so much time printing and clipping coupons she won’t have time to actually go shopping.

I hope she saves more than $55 with those coupons she printed out.

She’d save even more money if she didn’t buy all that stuff she doesn’t need in the first place.
Oh, I forgot. Women were born to shop. That’s the message of this whole comic strip.

I think it’s more about finding balance than anything else. Cathy and her mother are really two sides of the same OCD coin. Cathy’s obsessive-compulsive about spending money and following the impulse of the moment, and her mother is obsessive-compulsive about frugality and maintaining the status quo for eternity.
In other words, Cathy needs to learn to live more for the future than for the present, while her mother needs to learn to live in the moment once in a while. It’s a fascinating contrast.
