Couponing Fun


So last Friday, I babysat my neighbor's son for the day. It was great having him over to hang out with Nathan, since he's 3 (and Nathan's 2.) When my neighbor came to pick him up, she asked what she owed me and I said, "Nothing." She didn't seem to want to go for that answer so I said, "Hey, you give me all your extra coupons each week, you save me $$. Let me return the favor."

It got me thinking, hmmm, what else could we do for coupons? "I'll mow your grass if you print me out some Kashi Waffle Qs!" :)

Remember that old 80s flick called, "Mr. Mom." There's a scene where he's playing cards with the ladies and they are using coupons as "winnings." I picture this week's...I'll raise you ALL my Kraft coupons! (Gasps!)

Anyway, I just wanted to say that let coupons be fun, too. Surprise a friend and mail her/him some great coupons for deals you know they use and say, "Hey, just wanted to brighten your day!"

Pass on the coupon love, help out a friend and have some fun!! We get enough stress over complicated coupon policies and some grumpy cashiers (and people standing in line behind us!)

  1. Great idea! I think we should do this around the blogosphere! I don't use things like Kashi, organic foods, etc but would love other items and I'm sure there are other who would love them. I wonder if we could start something like that?

  5. You may want to check your natural food section for coupons for Kashi. My local grocery store had a Kashi coupon book with 6 $1 off coupons in them!

  6. These are great ideas.

    Sometimes I have intentions of using coupons but the end price is more than I want to pay so recently I have been taking coupons that I'm not going to use (like the $2 California Pizza Kitchen ones) and placing them by the item for the next person that comes along.
