A Followup

Just to demonstrate the power of coupon savings, Sherry and I went to the grocery last night.  It was a two person job because sometimes you have to “game the system”.  In this case, its the limit on coupons per trip.  Our store limits the number of doubling (or in this case tripling) coupons to 20 per visit.  Some people solve this by making two trips, which could be as simple as filling a cart with your items that use your 20 coupons, loading those in the car, coming back in and doing it again or in our case, take two people, two carts.  I think its cheating, but if your going to play the game you have to push the rules to their limits.
