[quote=harvey]I once saw a TV show about one of those coupon shopper fanatics. Some lady managed to buy $1000 worth of groceries and pay only $10 or so (I don’t remember the exact numbers but they were extreme.)
It took many hours of prep time and many hours in the store.
One issue was what she actually got; I recall that she had two cartfuls of cake frosting mix. She did get a helluva bargain.[/quote]
Well, there’s a point of diminishing returns on excessive coupon clipping.. I mean, it doesn’t exactly make sense to save $2 extra on something that ends up costing you $4/gallon to get there unless you were going to be there to begin with…
I consider myself to be an opportunistic coupon clipper… But I almost never buy food things that are full price. I’d rather change my eating selection for that week or two and buy the stuff that’s on sale.
