What lengths will you go to get a coupon?
I asked myself this question the other day when I was in the drive-thru lane at GD Ritzy's on Fist Avenue and I spied a coupon stuck to the outside of a trash can. My detective skills told me that the coupon wasn't a sticker but was stuck to a trash can by scum and goo. But I had to know what the coupon was for. So as I moved forward I got a better view and it was a cereal coupon. I thought "I eat cereal, I need more cereal, I might need that coupon." But it had goo on it and was stuck to a trash can. I'm one of those germy phobe people but mostly about bodily fluids (sneezing, drool, unclean hands) but trash goo is nasty also. So I got to move one more car up and was close enough that I could grab the coupon if I wanted to. I was telling myself that I really wasn't that desperate for one coupon. I have hundreds at home but it was a good coupon and I could use it. So I grabbed it. I did. And I was excited about it. I got my food, got my drink, wiped off my hands with a wet wipe and went to wipe off the back of the coupon and then saw that it was expired. WHATEVER. I grabbed a gross expired coupon off a trash can. So that's my story of what lengths I will go to get a coupon. What have you done?

around here we have coupons/ads delivered door to door in plastic baggies...i find them laying in the drives days after they were delivered...the baggies are torn and dirty...sometimes they are all wet so i just take the coupons out and spread them on a table to dry then clip them...once saw some sticking out of a recycle bin and nabbed them too...>^,,^<
