coupon ping
A local welder is a semi-rich mooch. The kinda guy who brings brake pads and calipers to a softball buddy’s for-profit garage and asks to borrow the lift and tools at closing time and obviously expects softball bud to stay late and help, and “help” means actually do almost all of the work. And then when softball buddy’s steel-pipe well water line freezes, Mr. Welder is right there with lotsa long cable to set up the welder for low current heat and melt the ice in the pipe,
for $65 an hour.
Something-for-nothing people often disgust me.
I read the whole article and although it’s legal it doesn’t seem ethical. You would think these stores would get a clue instead of asking this women what loopholes can be exploited so they have enough product on hand. As with everything if too many people do this it will come to a halt, effecting the people who don’t exploit the system the most.
I do like her “stock” of toilet paper. A lot of people do not realize what a luxury (necessity) toilet paper is. You can run out of a lot of things and make do, but does anyone really want to go back to catalog pages, leaves, or using the reliable cowboy neckerchief for their daily duties?
I got into couponing last year and saved us a ton of money. It was great at first, until I realized I was feeding my family a bunch of processed junk. Wheat Chex, Pop Tarts, pierogies, frozen pizza, sugary yogurts, and noodles...corn, wheat...junk. So now I only use coupons on nuts, cheese, and frozen veggies, plus personal care items. We pay more at the store, but we’re not eating a bunch of processed, sugar-loaded foods - even if it is free, it’s not always worth it.
/my 2 cents
I never got into the drugstore deals because there’s only so many tubes of toothpaste and deodorant you can use in a lifetime. And if paying half the retail price for t.p. at the grocery store helps me keep my sanity (as opposed to paying nothing at CVS) I’ll pay half price.
Just kidding, Lord.
