One lady even sells packages on the couponing website. I don't know if
anyone actually buys from her. She sells assortments of things that she got
for free. She sells them for $9.99 and up including postage. I don't get
it. If I know that you got it for free, I won't be paying you for it.

One thing that really gets me are the blood sugar meters. I don't know how
they are getting them for free because most require a prescription. But...
They get them and then try to sell them. Don't try to tell these people
that doing so is a silly notion because we can all get them for free.
