Coupon Crazy

Coupon, Is it good remedy for current inflation fight? I think it is not and coupons are highly addictive. Yesterday when i was in train on the way back home, one lady sitting next to me, cut and cut coupons from newspaper. I was watching it all, to make things worse, she put all waste into me. She carried a separate bag for coupons, the bag was filled of coupons. Okay, that was fine, she is just trying to save some 1 or 2 dollars. After finishing all coupon cutting, she opened other bag and took 3-4 lottery, the one that we have to scratch.So now she started now scratching lotteries, again all wastes into me. I just realized that what ever she saved now from coupon were gone.

One day I was standing in queue at Costco for checkout, a man who was standing in front of me had tons of ton items to checkout. I thought i might have to spent another hour or so to check out after him. He placed all items on checkout belt. As soon as, sales clerk started checking the items, he pulled a coupon from his wallet. The sales clerk refused to take any coupon as it was expired the day before and he also refused to buy any item, which are not covered by coupon. Finally, you won't believe, he ended up buying a banana bunch for $0.99. Ohh...gosh...why some one spent 1-2 hours for shopping and finally checking out $0.99, that too because of coupons?.

But my believe is, this coupons are free ticket for shopping, even though you don't want to buy anything, you will buy something, just because you have a coupon.

My SIL uses coupons very effectively. She says its free money on the table from brands that you tend to buy anyway, why not take it?
yes..if you use it for esstenial item, that make lot of sense. But esstenial items normally won't come with coupon. :)

Not correct Subba. Most brands give you coupons because they don't know that you are a customer already. So you can find coupons for brands you already buy. This is what my SIL is doing and i have tried it once or twice when i had the patience to cut the coupons.
Ok..I can also try now. Thanks for the tips
