I had a guy behind me on line at the grocery store yesterday get real pissed off at me when I used coupons. First he expressed amazement at the fact that I paid a bill of over 48 bucks with just $1.34 by using coupons. Then he asked how I did it so I told him to check out one of the couponing websites and even gave him the address. Thennn.... he went ballistic. He started screaming that I was somehow “cheating the store.” I politely told him that the grocery store is FULLY REIMBURSED by the companies issuing the coupons but that didn’t satisfy him. I finally left him muttering some nonesense about how I was cheating “honest” people like him. Um...more like “clueless” people like him. Like its my fault he is paying full price? Oh, and I seriously doubt he would ever check the website I told him about online. It just went in one ear and out the other.
Sounds like the guy has incipient dementia - the confusion and the inappropriate rage can be tell tale indicators.
As a parting quip, I would have asked him if he voted for Opossum...(chances are, he did).
OK, I’m in. Give me the website address! I am constantly amazed at your couponing prowess.
I hear these stories all the time, but I've never figured out how it's done, even when the stores have Double Your Coupon days. I've long managed to get my shaving equipment for free with the money back newspaper coupons, but otherwise it's always one coupon per purchase of each product, isn't it?
