When you use all those coupons to buy umpty-thousand items, how much does the newspaper cost to get those coupons? I mean I have seen that show and they have 50-11 coupons and buy all those bottles of hair spray or French dressing. They end up paying 25 cents for a $3.00 bottle of French Dressing, but how much does it cost them to buy the newspapers and magazines with the coupons, and no one ever mentions "One coupon per person". I use a coupon if I need the item. If I don't need the item, I don't save the coupon. Besides which, I don't have the room. Besides which, there are expiration dates on these items, and most of the stuff on sale is ready for the expiration bin. I am sorry, but it just doesn't make sense to me whatsoever......unless it is all donated.
I have often wondered why these companies don't save themselves the money for printing a billion coupons and just mark the item down so everyone can afford it. From the mouth of a 75 year old with 55 years of shopping under her belt. Greed is greed no matter how you cut the coupon! Edie
