Coupons

So I've learned to love coupons.  I save an average of $20 on all major grocery runs and on triple coupon runs usually about 50% on whatever I'm buying.

A couple things.

1.  As far as I'm concerned anything less than $.50 isn't worth clipping.
2.  Make use of your triple coupon days.  They are usually holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day so there's one coming up.
3.  Coupon companies are making it impossible to do extreme couponing so I don't even bother trying.  Who needs 2700 tubes of toothpaste anyway.  Be real here. 
4.  Don't buy stuff you don't use.  It's a waste of time, money and increases your carbon footprint if you just end up tossing it.  That $1.00 off coupon might be tempting, but if you'll never use it why waste your money?

I know this isn't very enlightening, but it's true and common sense.  It seems there's a great lack of that these days.  Maybe I should send my coupons to the federal government...
