They have a mental illness and the coupon fixation is just one facet of a pervasive obsession with "beating the system."

I think it's safe to say that all coupons and the people who use them are lame.

A large majority of the food coupons are for processed poo poo that you shouldn't be eating anyways.

Saving a quarter on TP, now we're talking. Let the Rockefellers pay full price for their single ply generic rear end paper.

I like to pay for a 40 pack of Mountain Dew and an 80oz can of chili with a big bag of pennies and a stack of coupons. I don't really sort them or anything, just let the cashier go through the pile and see if there's one that matches.

Its like having a system for hoarding, its not just disordered garbage accumulation, but the deliberate stockpiling of spearmint mouthwash and store-brand creamed corn.

The stockpiling has some similarities with the whole prepping scene

if you haven't seen someone with hundreds of tiny pieces of (expired) cut paper in their wallet insisting to see the manager then you haven't seen couponing

it's like cheap hoarding

Have you ever been in line at the supermarket behind one of these people and one of the coupons doesn't work for some reason? And then they insist on the person trying it again, then they get indignant, and they waste everyone else's time arguing with the clerk for 5 minutes and calling the manager over so they can save 10 cents on a can of soup or whatever.

What I'm trying to say is gently caress people who are into coupons, they are worse than people who pay with checks.

i grew up on cheap rear end single ply TP since my dad stole his from work and the rest of my family refused to since it was a 'waste of money'

when i moved out on my own i found out that if you buy the nice stuff you go through like 6x less since it doesnt fall apart in your hand or leak through while you're wiping your loving rear end in a top hat. i thought the charmin ads on tv were bullshit as a kid since 'u cant use 2 pieces of toilet paper to wipe you butt??' but actually u can
