What is your deal-hunting origin story?

Hello, I hope you are doing well.
What is your origin story? Sure, we may not have superpowers or are superheroes or supervillains, but what many of us do here is pretty super.
Were there events in your childhood that led you to your life of deal-hunting? Did you perhaps come from certain circumstances that changed you into a person who hates retail prices? Or perhaps this is all a new development and you're just doing it for fun, or out of necessity. (Oh, you may also be a person who does deal-hunting on the side and is mainly in these forums for The Lounge.)

In comic book terminology, an origin story is an account or back-story revealing how a character or team gained their superpowers and/or the circumstances under which they became superheroes or supervillains.

Oh yeah, I wasn't given money when I was little. Kept me out of trouble I guess.
My origin story? There I was, looking at breasts on another website when an owner of an excellent pair kept telling me about this site. While I finally looked away, here I was.

I want to know more about this "owner".

Coupons and PM's fine, but if you're taking the price off one item and transferring it to another that's clearly fraud. The incidence of that is reduce nowadays due to UPC usage though.

"the ethical grey area in between"
You might think PM's and "abusing" coupon stacking is fine, there are others that define it as fraud.
Chances are if you have to ask several different CSRs or go to a particular store or wait for a particular manager to be on duty to get a deal it's pushing into what some consider unethical and/or fraud...
