 Posted: 02/06/06 - 14:19 Post subject: coupons
you know those coupons that print out at the checkout based on what you buy? I just got one for $1 off 10 packages of hot pockets.  If ever there is a day when I buy 10 packages of hot pockets, I'm going to need more help than a $1 off coupon....I just thought it was fubby....

My wife the cupon nazi will find a use for any and all cupons. Using her cupons, a great sale and the store card I managed to get eight bottles of Hot sauce for $ ZERO. (OK I gave some out to the kids)

two nights ago at the grocery store a young man was checking me out (as in ringing up my groceries ). After he handed me my receipt, he looks at the register...."oh, wait your free coupon is printing". I look at it and toss it into my purse. He's looking at me funny and has this look of  "did that really say you won a phone". Me "yah". He's like jumping up and down "you won a phone!!!!"
poor kid.

I never cut coupons. My gf cuts them out for me and I feel obliged to try and use them since she made the effort. I manage to use about 1 every trip to the grocery store.
