Mr. Frugal caught me in the coupon act!

..


This is an oldie but goodie.  I know I can’t be the only one who scans the parking lot to and from the grocery store looking for coupons and catalinas. Please tell me I’m not alone!  Sometimes those coupons can be really valuable :)   I still can’t believe Mr. Frugal caught me on tape this time, finding of all things a cigarette coupon, lol.

OM Goodness!! I just did that today! It was a catalina for a free bottle of Coke. It was a little wet and I couldn’t quite pick it up, so I walked away. Then I noticed a quarter near it, so I went back! The coupon is drying in my car ;)

Just yesterday I grabbed a coupon out of the garbage by the door to Safeway as I wiped my cart down with those free sanitizing wipes… I tried to be sly… Merry Christmas!

I’ve picked up a few catalinas only because by chance, I happened to look down. However, Julia, since you’ve found $10 (!) catalinas, maybe that’s a new habit I should develop! ;-) Have a wonderful holiday!

Sandy, OYNO is on your next order

Aren’t those coupons tied in with your club card number ? I remember finding one a while ago and it referenced it was only to be used by that particular member only. I’m not sure if it’s changed since then.

I almost picked up some coupons yesterday in the parking lot but I couldn’t see what they were for without trying to peel them off the asphalt, so I walked away, lol…nut I have been known to check stuff like that out, you never know what you’ll find! Remember when you could trade Marlboro cigareete points for merchandies? I used to scour the parking lots and hit up all my friends for those package sides with points on them, managed to get a bunch of stuff free, like a sleeping bag and jacke, and I don’t even smoke! hahaha

lol, Dot I’ve totally found myself in that very predicament! The unknown often eats away at me though, lol.

That was so adorable my hubby and I watched this together and he so appreciated it! he said “Hey you do that, and you have got some good deals!” So we say “you go girl!”
