Coupons. Need I say more? Oh, I do? OK, then! We get the Sunday paper mainly for the coupons (heck, I get all my news from the internet - I'm such a techie!). I spend the morning going through said coupons, clipping them, and sorting them in my "coupon folder."
It's time consuming - coupons come in different sizes and have differing expiration dates (why do they do this, by the way? Can't these coupon companies collaborate and come up with a uniform coupon size, and unifrom expiration dates? Clearly a topic for another blog!). Is it worth it? Great question! I guess my answer is ... ummm ... maybe?
We end up saving quite a bit of money when we combine the coupons with in-store sales. I've made it kind of a game, and I get ultra-competitive with this. But, I guess there is a time investment (opportunity cost) ... I mean, would it be better for me to spend all of this time doing something different like reading books, playing video games, working out, or helping in a soup kitchen? I'd rather not answer that. I have fun with it, so coupons are dope with me.

The dopest. I love them too. BTW, shop rite has online coupons now. You can go to their site, click on whatever electronic coupons you like, then they'll take the money off when you show your shop rite card. Way dope. You don't have to clip it, file it or throw it away when it expires ... just remember to put the item on your list. OK, so I'm a coupon nerd too.
DOPE. I use coupons for things I'm going to buy anyway. But I won't go out and buy something just because I have a coupon.
Dope and don't forget online promotion codes and that sort of thing. I bought my brother-in-law a magazine subscription for 5$ using a promo code I found on a coupon site. Very cool.
Definately Dope. I am all about coupons. Hell, if I had a coupon for the Ebola virus, I'd be in the front of the line, coupon in one hand and petri dish in the other.
Dope - online coupons are becoming more popular these days. Soon there will be no newspapers Los - atleast it looks like it's heading that way.
