Couponing |
A word on couponing.
No wonder all the stuff I want to buy at the grocery store is not there! It's sitting in some couponers basement gathering dust, just like my mom's roll-on-deodorant collection of the early 90's. Why do you EVER need to buy 10 bottles of ketchup? I know you can get them .86 cents each, but WHY? Why would a person do that?
There is no way you can ever use ten bottles of ketchup (or 16 boxes of pop-tarts, or whatever) before it is gross. Yet, to the couponer, this is irrelevant. They only notice that they are getting a great deal on crap that they can classify as "food storage" and put in their basement, right next to the yak lubricant that they got for only .15 cents a gallon and will never, ever use, until their whole house if full of cheap gross food. But it was a good deal!
Did they ever consider leaving some tortillas for the rest of us to buy? I just want one. Is that such a sacrifice, couponers? To leave one tortilla for me? Or must you have all 16 bags to cram into your deep freeze until you pull them out three years later when they have become an ice encrusted mystery?
And if they are getting such a great deal on all these tons and tons of food, why do I read (on facebook no less! Facebook is not a place to write about your trip to the grocery store or your child peeing themself! It is supposed to be for things that don't make everyone else want to barf!) about couponers going to the store twice a week? If you really buy that much food the only way you can eat it is if you are horrifyingly obese, or have 12 children. Oddly, the specific couponer I am complaining about is neither. So why does she need to go to the store 2x a week when she already bought 10 gallons of maple syrup last week? Can't she make something with that?
Leave some groceries for the rest of us you greedy couponers. And go through all the crap you've purchased and check the dates. I'm sure at least half of it is expired. Now you'll have to go back to the store!
