Have you noticed that coupon clipping isn’t quite the same? I admit I don’t bother with coupons anymore, but used to do it quite frequently. Now you’ll notice that coupons say “buy 3, save 50 cents” or “buy 6 and save $1.00″. Years ago it was buy 1, save money! All of a sudden now coupons are for multiple items, have you noticed that?

And, what’s with the “DO NOT DOUBLE” on coupons issued by the manufacturer? The store pays the extra cost, not the manufacturer, so why do they care and disallow the store from paying double on a coupon???

Today I saw a coupon for bags of walnuts, the brand I use. Generally they are $6.99 at my local supermarket but if I go to Target, they are $4.75. Obviously I buy them when I am at Target. The coupon? Buy 3 bags and save $1.00. Uhm, I don’t think so … 3 lbs. of walnuts is waaaaaaaaaaay too many to buy. Plus, it’s just a buck. 33 cents a bag.
