Re: I don't get

  • I like coupons, I like matching them up with a sale to get a good deal, but I'm not hardcore into it like some people are. I get those $5 formula checks in the mail and will offer them to girls on my local and occasionally give coupons to people at work for stuff I know they buy (and they do the same for me). A lot of SAHM's do this kind of coupon swapping or order them online etc.

  • Haha, my mom and her friend used to buy, like, 4 or 5 Sunday papers and clip all the coupons so they'd have multiples, then they'd mail the rest to me at college. It was pretty awesome because hey, free coupons I didn't have to cut out. I did clip them, too, sometimes, and it got kind of addicting, but then I lose patience/interest.

  • Nevermind clipping the coupons, just typing all of that out blows my mind.

  • I like saving as much as the next person but the people in the stores with the huge binders kill me. I wish I had that kind of time to sit and clip coupons. Well, maybe I would if I didn't spend so much time nesting...

    exactly.

  • If it took me an hour to clip coupons and I saved less than I make in an hour at my job then it doesn't seem worth it to me.  (If that makes sense?)

    Although I was home sick once and saw the "Coupon Queen" on some talk show and she went to a grocery store and got $100 worth of stuff for maybe $4.  It took an insane amount of coupon clipping and ad scouring but it was a crazy good deal.  I'd do it if I could save that kind of money.

  • i imagine the coupon queen to have feathered hair and a fondness for the bedazzler

    If I could do that, I'd be all for it. I just don't have the patience or brain power to do things like that. It's like the CVS game. I just don't get it at all. This is the only thing I use my blondness as an excuse for.

  • Holy jeebus.  Forget clipping, then typing...then she's going to take the time and mail that shiiit to other people?  NUTSO.

    I see things like the Coupon Queen and I'm like, that's great you got $100 worth of stuff for $4.  Too bad is $100 worth of JUNK, either processed food that's not good for you, or stuff you gotta find somewhere in your house to stockpile.  And stockpilers aren't that far away from hoarders, IMO.
