I gotta get me summa them coupons....

The only problem with eating only food you have coupons for is that almost everything you can buy with coupons is unhealthy food. It's highly processed, and either high in fat, high in sugar, loaded with chemicals, refined, or any combination of the above. I have never seen coupons for fresh produce.

I would rather pay for my groceries than eat all that junk.

When I saw that on the news the other day I thought the same thing GLG. But I guess when you are really in need, and she didn't look like she was, everything you can get your hands on is gonna be good to eat. But you do have to spend plenty of time getting coupons, going through them and than doing the time in the stores to make sure you follow the directions exactly. And yes no vegetables. I've never seen coupons for those.

I've never seen coupons for tofu or soy products in my area. Once in a blue moon do I find coupons for the soy milk I use.

[phkrause]

That's true now that you mention it Amelia.

Why DON'T we have coupons for fruit and vegetables?

[rudywoofs (Pam)]

There *are* some coupons that are good for dollars off anything in the store, including fresh fruit and vegetables. My mom uses those coupons regularly. I guess it depends on what store you buy from..

[Doug]

Must b dependent on the stores, we don't have anything like that around here.

[GreatLakesGramma]

The stores around here don't do that either. None of them double coupons or do senior discounts either.

[GreatLakesGramma]

That's about the way it happened here too.
