Those people that spend all those hours collecting and sorting
obviously don't have a life. I rarely use coupons because like 99% of
them are for things I not only wouldn't use but wouldn't want them if
free... they're typically for some new over priced product that has no
redeeming value. About the only coupons I actually use are those I
get in the mail for pet products and they are for no big savings but
I'll still take 50¢ off on a $12 box of cat food. The only other
coupons I use are occasionally there'll be a stack of coupons on the
deli counter for $1 off a particular cold cut if you buy a pound, I'll
use those too, only because I'm buying the product anyway and I never
buy less than a pound of anything at the deli. I can't remember the
last time I actually snipped out a coupon, has to be at least 20 years
ago... I think that's about how long ago they stopped offering coupons
to snip for useful items, at least of use to me.
