Extreme Couponing

Um... Where did I say that? It's amazing to me that I can post one thing
and then be accused of saying something else.

You are around me? You live in Bothell WA? I don't think so. You are on a
newsgroup. A newsgroup that is supposed to be about food.

I do not spit and scream and whine in public. I don't know where you live
but apparently spitting in public is legal. It isn't here.

I find it highly unlikely that *you* will be giving my child a job. Do you
own a dance studio and are you looking for teachers? If so then I
apologize. However it would still be unlikely even if you do, that she
would be working for you. Hopefully I have at least taught her enough to
know about people's character. Yours does not impress me.

You're kidding -- that's neat. At first when you said tri-color, I
was thinking different colors for different pieces. I'd buy them just
for fun.

Fact is, fresh mustard is MUCH stronger than aged. Try making it for
yourself sometime; you'll see what I mean. Tourists in France are often
shocked at how strong the Dijon mustard is there because it's so much
younger than what they get at home.

Why thank you, ladies. I have plenty of popcorn for all of us, courtesy
of today's trip to Sam's, and some really comfy pillows. And yes, it
definitely beats reality t.v. It got me to come out of the lurkerville
closet :-)

$325 is about half of what we spend for food, cleaning supplies,
paper supplies/diapers, chicken and turkey feed, cat food and litter
each month. For a family of nine.

We can fit quite a lot in the trunk of our minivan (what I use when
it's just me and the children), we can pack for a two week vacation,
including a pack and play and a cooler. Maybe they are just good at
packing things.

Yes, I agree. You're a mustard snob.

Ah Cheryl, it would be wrong to place yourself in the same category as
Julie. At least, I wouldn't. I enjoy your posts. I guess I just don't
understand her need for such constant negativity, outside of her
admitted enjoyment of drama. Most people have had some difficulties in
life, some more than others. We deal and try to make the most of it.
Basking in the negativity certainly doesn't make things better, and I
dare to assume that's what most here have a problem with. I've never
seen one person use the words "I hate" and "I don't like" so often, in
regards to so much. I would think it's easier, and healthier, to focus
on what one *does* like, especially when it seems to be so little.

Life can be very short, and even in the face of multiple tragedies, I am
still grateful for many things. I can't imagine how much worse it would
be, if I couldn't find simple joy in anything.

I won't be one of those people either. I am glad though that rebates aren't
what they once were. I can remember when I worked at K Mart, rebates were a
big thing. We had so many of them that we actually had a rebate board and
at times there we so many rebate cards/certificates that they wouldn't all
fit on the board. Some people made a career out of doing those rebates.

What I really hated was that some companies were not good about sending the
rebate money or products to the customers. And if the customer didn't do
everything exactly right they wouldn't get the rebate. So where did the
disgrunted customers come? To us!

Over the years the rebates seem to have dwindled quite a bit. Once in a
while I'll run across one. But not very often.

At Christmas time I saw a display of Andes Mints and a sign that said "Buy
two get one free!" There were what appeared to be coupons. I just picked
up three and a coupon. But when I got to the register, the clerk (after
unsuccefully scanning the coupon) informed me that it was a rebate and I'd
have to mail it in. I opted not to get the mints. I didn't really need
three packages of them anyway. She said she didn't blame me.

I have no major issues with my son. He is grown up ad we have a very
good relationship. He would never have acted the way that you described
your daughter's behaviour/ I would never have tolerated it. I would
never take him to a restaurant if he behaved in them the way your
daughter does. Perhaps you thrive on that sort of drama. I could not
live that way, and I know that it is within my power to change the
situation.

I agree that is pretty crazy! I saw a TV show not long ago about one of
those extreme couponers, and what she was doing was stocking a pantry to
help people out who were going through a tough time and couldn't buy
food. She'd learn of a neighbor or someone at church or kids school or
whatever, and pack them up a few bags of shelf-stable groceries.

It actually is pretty good, believe it or not. ;) I keep it on hand
for emergencies, as it is shelf stable.

Expire means it has gone bad. Going stale is not the same as going

I don't know. We entertain ourselves with the spelling and
grammatical errors in our paper, the city paper and such. In our former
town, which was very upscale, educated and wealthy, we saw just as many
examples of either monkeys doing the editing or nobody doing it as we do
here in the rural country. We also received the city paper that had
just as many errors.

Thank goodness for that.

And she may not always be working in her chosen field. I can't imagine
a manager at McDonald's putting up with screaming and banging on tables.
