I rarely use coupons for food products, the exception being Paul Newman
stuff, where you can save a buck or so if you buy two items - which I did
today, the store had a sale on his stuff..

I also saved a buck off of a bottle of Lime - Away and a buck off of a two -
pack of large Ziploc food containers...

I aim to clip enough coupons every week in order to amortize the coupla bux
cost of the Sunday newspaper from which I clip the coupons...

I won't fiddle with lame and piddly l'il coupons, e.g. coupons where you can
"save" a WHOLE 50 CENTS off of a minimum purchase of six cans 'o soup or six
containers of yogurt...
