Not opposed to them, just lazy. I should use them more, after all, they are FREE MONEY right?? Have a great weekend! and p.s. the Bay Area is very expensive!

I am a fan of coupons. Like the kind that come in the Sunday paper or on a product. I used to try to get them on sites online, but I ran into this problem: the only companies that give coupons are those that provide with a life of crap!! I agree, the majority of those things are so full of sodium and so unhealthy it's outrageous.<br /><br />I have two more points. First, if you have this much room in your house, room to stuff all this stuff you bought, maybe you could save money by DOWNSIZING and getting a smaller house. Then you would have more money so you wouldn't have to coupon (I too can't believe it's now a verb). Also, I heard that one woman didn't have the multiple rooms for storage, so she had stuff stored willy nilly all over the house. Is this safe? Fire hazards? Inappropriate products in toddler's closets? <br /><br />And 2. What about the expiration dates? Will you really use them all before they go bad? Which leads me to this: doesn't having more make you consume more? I know it does in my house. If you see 20 bottles of Mountain Dew, I think you are likely to drink more because you know it's there and you can. No conserving or delayed gratification because, IT'S THERE.<br /><br />And finally, isn't this really just glorified hoarding? Like tenaciouslyyours says. Anyone who has a whole room devoted to food, whether it's organized or not, has a serious mental issue. <br /><br />I should probably just write my own post about this and not steal up all your space!!JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548653968066971599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984865389412513470.post-45583033596800330922011-04-18T21:56:41.913-05:002011-04-18T21:56:41.913-05:00I haven't coupon-ed in awhile, but that's ...I haven't coupon-ed in awhile, but that's because I can't really coupon where we shop and the things we usually buy at "The Big Grocery Store" are produce like ginger and jalapenos...go figure. They're already like $1.00/lb. And I have never seen anyone roll out with more than a quarter pound of ginger...hahahahahaha.<br /><br />I'm SUPER astonished by the Butterfingers thing though. Like, is that a two month stash? Or something to hoard?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984865389412513470.post-89395832220440761742011-04-18T19:40:36.517-05:002011-04-18T19:40:36.517-05:00I've never seen the show, but I'm with you...I've never seen the show, but I'm with you.

There is ...too bad you don't live in the south. There is a website called Southern Savers that matches up coupons to sales. We have place called Publix (maybe you've heard of it?) and they have bogo items all the time.you can use two coupons on the bogo sale, although you're technically only paying for one. It takes a lot of effort and time to coupon, though, either of which I don't have.Amanda @ It's Blogworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919340979575037179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984865389412513470.post-28126510675959257972011-04-18T08:45:46.198-05:002011-04-18T08:45:46.198-05:00OMG, I have seen the show, and I have been horrifi...OMG, I have seen the show, and I have been horrified and inspired at the same time. Did you see the woman who bought like 60 bottles of Calcium tablets, because between the coupon she had and the sale they were having, they actually ended up having to pay her $1 per bottle? Ok, making a buck per bottle, cool....but what on earth is she going to do with all those bottles of Calcium tablets? I hope she donated them somewhere. The show didn't say. And that's another thing -- if you have enough toilet paper in your house to last you 3 years, perhaps it's time to start donating some of that stuff.<br /><br />And yes, the incredibly unhealthy crap they are buying makes me ill. Produce is expensive and you can get coupons for that as well, but you couldn't buy 600 pounds of apples and store them all that well, could you? Everything they buy has to be full of preservatives or this would never work.Bonnie@TheFragileXFileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949930490509336767noreply@blogger.com
