I don't think we get the kinds of coupons in Canada that you do in the US. I've never seen any combination of coupons here that could make it cheaper to buy 120 of something than just a few.

The savings comes from taking advantage of a low sale price and stocking up. If some combination of coupons gets you a pack of toilet paper for 50 cents, you buy enough to last for years and store it. Now whenever you need a new pack, you grab one of the packs you got for 50 cents instead of paying a few bucks at the store.

e: oh, I misundertood you post I think. A lot of the extreme coupon people get such low prices by looking for combinations and loopholes that the store overlooked.

Yeah, obviously buying in bulk saves money over time, but I always hear about things where like if you buy some absurd number it dramatically lowers the overall price to where it's actually literally cheaper, and not just cheaper by the unit, to buy dozens instead of a couple.

Also I love the 9 hour gap between the thing posted and the green guy responding. And then the next gap where no one else even touches the thing. It tells you exactly what kind of person the OP is, one of those people you have on your friends list and want to delete but you used to all hang out together in high school so there's some straw of social netiquette that makes you hesitate every time you hover over the "unfriend" button.

Mine is a guy who keeps liking Trump posts and Breitbart articles about how Trump zinged those idiot Democrats.

He's Canadian. Trump wants to keep him out of the country.

Depending on the era, it's a form of control due to the people not knowing better. I believe the people of North Korea legit believe all the poo poo they say Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong-Un have done because there's literally nothing refuting them.

They specifically do not believe in Kim Jong Il's poo poo.

Really though, the only STDH part of that is the note. People actually do that, but they want everyone to know it when they do.

The thing is, with a movie like Ghostbusters (or two), it really shouldn't matter what critics say. It's not loving Smultronstället.

e: Well of course it doesn't matter to me what critics have to say about any movie but :shrug:

Please use the proper title, Marvel's Avengers: Smultronstället

There's a Legion branch (Canadian veteran's organization. Basically just a vet's bar) on my way home from work that has a howitzer on display out front that's a Pokestop. For the last 2 days there's been a group of 4-5 kids sitting in the shade under it playing.

The town has like 7000 people so that's a pretty big group for here.

I can't even say off hand which Disney movie that song's from.

At least use a popular one for your lie. Nobody's buying that 250 people know that song.

Butchart Gardens is one of those silly places that takes itself super seriously. Their etiquette rules asks you to keep quiet in all areas of the gardens.

But it also says no costumes, so that wasn't arbitrary at least.

Their ticket page also says "Please note: costumes, period style or historical dress not permitted." but that looks to be a response to this story since it's not there in older snapshots. It always said no costumes though.

Like half the examples in this thread are "this troper's X experience" so it's not surprising the guy thought it was referring to something else.
