From the “no such thing as a dumb question” department – could your Sunday newspaper, and the coupon inserts contained within it, give you the coronavirus?
The short answer – most likely not. But it’s a question that newspaper publishers, already struggling in a difficult economic environment, find themselves grappling with. Here’s the Coupons in the News article.
I periodically test Dollar Tree products to compare against grocery and drug store items. A few months ago I tried their powdered dishwasher detergent and was really pleased with how well it worked! So well I put the Cascade back in in the cabinet and picked up another box today, along with the aspirin. On Saturday, DH wanted a pain reliever, so we went to Jewel where he was (well, so was I) shocked at the price of the small bottle of 325 mg generic aspirin – $5.49! Not shown is the two boxes of tissue cubes I made PITA buy herself ’cause I’m tired of her being too lazy to keep a larger & cheaper box in her own room instead of wiping out the pathetic few in those cubes.
Your grocery store is out of hand sanitizer. The toilet paper supply is hit or miss, and there are strict purchase limits on everything from personal care items to paper plates.
If you’re running low on any of these items – are you really going to wait until there’s a coupon and a sale before stocking up? And are you going to opt for the best deal, or what’s best for your family? Here’s the Coupons in the News article, but it’s what we’ve been seeing all over … people on the floor grabbing cans of private label anythings (except pumpkin pie filling) so they can get full cartloads.
Yeah, I couldn’t figure it out when I grabbed the bag ’cause I’d just put it out yesterday – – black cat recycling ninja.
