couponing
So I've become a couponer! And yes, I'm a bit of a stockpiler also. However, what I'm not, is a hoarder! I see shows like "Extreme Couponing", and I just think "why?" Just b/c you can go buy 100 bottles of mustard, does that mean you should? I think not! To me, that's an addiction. I'm all for getting a good deal! I got my husband some free deodorant the other day. I got him enough to last the next few months, but I did not bring home enough deodorant to last him the rest of his life. Why in the world would I? I think it's people like that who give couponers a bad name. (and of course those that are fraudulent/dishonest - but that's another story.) Although, I don't understand why the cashier gets so upset if I get something for free b/c the store isn't losing any money. They get reimbursed for the dollar amount on the coupon and then some. So why do they treat couponers like crooks? Just b/c we want to save some money doesn't mean we are trying to cheat anyone. But just b/c we can get 100 free bottles of mustard, doesn't mean we have to.
