Some of it was new to me! Like writing companies about their products for free coupons? I'd never heard that before.
When you write/call a company asking for coupons you're not usually talking to that company. More often than not you're talking to a 3rd party that the company has hired to handle non-complaint related calls.

Habitual users of the coupon calls are actually logged and tracked. You won't get in trouble, but it's a reference in case a lawsuit is filed.

Keep in mind most companies have a 3 month grace period (one coupon per 3 months) and the 3rd parties handle lots and lots of companies, so you may be rejected if you request coupons from different companies who are handled by the same call center.

YMMV, like most things.

I'm pretty up to date on pop/internet culture. Except for television shows.

Quote from Maleficent :
I'm the same way! I'm really not a big fan of the packaged food. Blech. Though I do have trouble turning it down when I can get it for free.

I sit there and think "okay, it's free... but is it worth it to put hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup and a bunch other synthetic crap into my system though?" Scratchchin

(The super yummy stuff, the answer is sometimes unfortunately yes...)
I was just raised during a different time and tend to eat more like how I did before all these modern conveniences.

My typical menus are probably very bland and boring to most of you.

Quote from Maleficent :
Iagree

Sooo hawt.
/processing

In place of poetry selections add lengthy and high dollar saving couponing and D/G talk with Mal and kara.

Facepalm

That made me laugh...especially the "further processing" bit...

I desperately need help getting into efficient couponing. I suck at it, and we spend WAY too much on groceries (not to mention everything else).

We played the confession of a random fact game last night.

This was mine -

I am actually a highly advanced computer algorithm created by a worldwide organization of men, posting randomly on the internets, collecting and amassing information in an enormous database in hopes that one day enough data will be accumulated to finally begin to understand women.

The code name of my project is Deep Thrust.
Just because I am highly advanced code in a server farm somewhere doesn't mean we can't still be friends though!!

It's flooding Whee

So far so good though. I live in a townhouse with a good sized lake behind our house. In 07 this complex was flooded with over 5 feet of water after a good rainfall.

We had 5 inches of rain dumped on us last night alone.

Hopefully we don't have to start building an ark soon..
