Wow. Sometimes savings coupons can trick people to buy stuff they don't need. Ridiculous. :rolleyes:

Personally, I never shop at discount stores or use coupons. Either I buy it if I can afford it or I don't buy it if I can't afford it.

That's why when I do cut out coupons (usually once in a blue moon) I cut out only what I will use. Which usually ends up being maybe five coupons, if even that much.

I don't have a problem with people collecting coupons and using them. They put a lot of work into what they do. If a store doesn't want to accept them, that's also okay with me. I do feel that anyone who uses a coupon, should also use the product that the coupon applies on.

I do have one problem. I don't like to be in line behind someone using a wallet full of them. It's almost as bad as being behind a person with a cart full of groceries in the 25 items or less lane.

They should stamp each item sold with a coupon ''Publix'' so when they go to sell on Ebay, it will be suspected.

Not toilet paper silly, it's 'bathroom tissue'.

What is Publix? None where I live, is it like a WalMart?

We don't have them here in Vermont either, unless it's in Burlington. They have one of EVERY kind of store in Burlington. LOL. :)

Aha, Aha, I got it!
Set up a special lane for ''5 coupons or more''.

Those with 5 or more must wait in that lane.

I've always wondered if these "extreme couponers" actually save money in the end. I used to clip coupons but I found that 99.9% of the time the store brand is less expensive than most national brands even with a coupon.
