Friday, April 25, 2008 | $1000s in Savings You Don't Want to Miss | 
$1000 worth of online coupons right in your email. Don't want to miss out on that!
I remember taking a trip to the grocery store with my mom when I was young. It would take us hours to get everything we needed. While I was a squirmy mess she had to yell at every five minutes, she was routing through her little box of magical coupons.
I called them magical coupons because I once saw how much it meant to her. She placed the box of coupons on the seat of the cart. As we walked in slow motion up and down the aisles, she would pick the things we need and then shove a coupon in an envelope.
I don't think we had much brand loyalty. It was just what she had cut out of the paper every day or off the box when she would find coupons on it. If there was a Quaker Oatmeal coupon on the box, it was cut out and placed into her little coupon box. It was a shoe box that she had converted.
It was a magical coupon box because I saw it in action one day when I was finally old enough to pay attention. The grocery bill came to about $190. But then, my mother handed over all the coupons. As the cashier rang up all the coupons, I watched the grocery bill slowly drop little by little to about $125. I couldn't believe it.
It took awhile for the cashier to ring them all in and people behind us were actually leaving the line. But, mom was determined. She didn't care what people thought of her because this is the way she felt, "I had to wait on others when I was waiting in line. Now they can wait on me."
Now, in today's world, coupons can really come in handy. A savings of $65 means just as much now as it did back then. That's a tank of gas, and a tank of gas is worth something these days.
Couldn't you use $1000 in coupon savings?
