This week at Costco, I bought a pack of Clorox cleaning wipes and they are awesome.
I wouldn't have normally bought them (they are pricey), but someone left a coupon for $2.50 off, right next to the wipes. The coupon was deliberately wedged next to the price tag. Obviously, someone got the mailer full of Costco coupons, cut them all out, used the ones they wanted, and placed the rest of them around the store as gifts for people like me. I think that's a brilliant idea! Next time you got to the store with a fistful of coupons, if you decide not to use some of them, try placing them next to each product! The next person to come along will have a little savings, thanks to you. |

We do that all the time. One time we had two coupons for a buy one entree and get one free. It expired that day. So when we left, we spotted a couple in their 80's and gave it to them.

I like the idea. I've been both the recipient of such coupons and the donor.
I've also fed parking meters for strangers when I'd see the meter maid coming around, but I think that's illegal in some places.

Usually mailed home coupons from work come in a big sheet. People seem to bring the entire sheet and only use one coupon, yet they hand me the entire sheet. I always end up ripping theirs off and leaving the rest of the coupons in my register space for other people to see and use.

We also do this all the time.
MissyDWolf ALWAYS has her coupon purse with her; her coupons get traded, used, and left for others constantly.

I rarely use coupons anymore. I've found that food is cheaper at the discount supermarkets (such as FoodMaxx) than it is with coupons at the more mainstream supermarkets.
For instance, Quaker Rice Cakes with, let's say, a $1-off coupon at Safeway, would end up costing me $2.59. At FoodMaxx, the regular price is $1.78 for the same Quaker Rice Cakes.

Nothing to add about coupons. But are those Clorox wipes as good as you say? I'm tired of wasting money on wipes that don't clean.

We have a trash can for junk mail next to our mailbox in our complex. Sometimes the trash can will be over flowing with coupons. I have a stack of 20 sheets of A&W/KFC coupons sitting in my drawer in the kitchen. It's crazy!

At my church, we keep a box of baby care coupons next to the changing table. |

Sooo much better than the (barely) cheaper Kirkland brand. |
