Trailer trash with a touch of Elmer Gantry. No question. Are you related to the 13 year old dad or his girlfriend in the UK? |

I bow down to farming, livestock rearing, grain milling, bonnet wearing housewives and recogize the errors of my traditional ways, you are amazing savers and you loathe the evil existence of food in a grocery store, I can only hope to be just like you one day. It will be a glorious day when my world becomes as small as yours that I have to become self-righteous about my supurb butchering skills and harvesting skills. It will be glorious when I can ignore the fact that fresh organic produce IS more expensive for the majority of americans unless one lives on a farm and has infinite time like you. **disclaimer I do n t have spell check on my screen right now as one and am too lazy to flip into excel or outlook. I humbly apologize and will try harder next time, mighty Amish lady. |

In addition to being the Coupon Queen, you must be the Tabloid Master General(add to list...must remember to read more supermarket tabloids....) You are so sophisticated taking about the UK and all. What other countries do you know about? Have you ever been to California? I've always wanted to go there. How are you so clarivoyant? You guessed my exact weight at 300lbs and now you know where I live-in a trailer!! You are even more intriguing than I initially thought  . I've never come accross such sophistication, living in a trailer and all.
Oh coupon Queen/TMG, please tell us your secret to your clever wit and charming personality? Please Penny Princess please do tell!!!! **disclaimer I do not have spell check on my screen right now as one and am too lazy to flip into excel or outlook. I humbly apologize and will try harder next time, mighty coupon clipper. |

Shouldn't you be out milking a cow or harvesting some wheat? For working outside the home and taking care of your farm you sure do have a ton of time to post stupid crap. |

| How do you prevent the birds from pooping on your line-drying laundry? Do you double as a scarecrow? Gotta go. I'm due in Court, with my fist full of coupons in my purse for tonight's grocery shopping. |

According to this article everyone's right. Double coupons may not save you money My Smart Spending colleague, Karen Datko, recently posted an item about knowing what things cost. The idea is that knowing everyday prices keeps you from being snookered by “sale” prices that aren’t. I uttered that same phrase on the same day, while talking to an MSN Money editor about double coupons. “They’re not necessarily the best deal because you might be paying more for the products to begin with,” I said. “You need to know what things cost.” Later that day, I tested this theory at Albertsons. Was I right? Yes and no. I did walk away with some decent deals, including five months’ worth of low-dose aspirin absolutely free. Mostly, the experience supported what I’d told the editor. Let me begin by saying I’m a big coupon fan, so I was excited when I read that for one week, Albertsons would double up to six manufacturer coupons per visit. In the nearly five years that I’ve lived in Seattle, this is the first time I’ve seen double coupons in a supermarket. Kmart recently had double coupons for a one-week period. Then, as now, I found a couple of swell deals. Generally, though, the prices at Kmart were higher than those at drugstore chains such as Walgreens and Rite Aid. ... You really do need to know what things cost. Many of the products for which I had coupons cost more at the supermarket than they would elsewhere. For example, a vitamin/mineral supplement that cost $13.79 at Albertsons goes for $10.49 at Walgreens -- and that store regularly features this particular brand as a buy-one-get-one item. I'm saving my $1-off coupon for one of those sales. ... Drugstore rebates may be a better deal. Garnier Fructis shampoo was on sale for $3.99 at Albertsons; after my $1 coupon was doubled, it would have been $1.99. However, Walgreens is offering Garnier Fructis for 99 cents after rebate this week -- and my $1 coupon will mean it’s free (except for the sales tax, of course). ... Don’t automatically believe those who say that driving around is hardly worth the gas. Instead, do the math for both miles per gallon and coupon savings. Decide for yourself whether it’s worth the effort -- and remember that some people overvalue the price of their time. ... Incidentally, a common complaint about coupons is that they’re mostly for junk food. Sure, someone focused on healthier or organic food products wouldn’t have any interest in a coupon for high-fructose sugar cane snacks. (I just made that up, by the way.) However, I’ve seen coupons for items like orange juice, organic milk, baby carrots, bagged salads, whole oats, clementine oranges and plain frozen vegetables. (In fact, on my next trip to Albertsons I'll be getting a 12-ounce bag of frozen corn for 19 cents.) |

Why on earth should a lawyer not use a coupon? You people are making absolutely no sense. She was just really, really nasty with her comment about bird pooping on someone's laundry. What is that all about? |

She is just making an idiot of herself. Amish mom is mocking her and she is biting at every hook looking worse after every post, amusing us a though unintentionally on her part

"She was just really, really nasty with her comment about bird pooping on someone's laundry. What is that all about?"
The "I make everything from scratch" nutjob also bragged that she hangs her laundry to dry. LOL!! Who gives a rat's a$s? The topic was saving money on groceries! Birds poop on clotheslines and drying laundry. I must pull myself together for Court, but it's been neato. Who knew there was so much fun on this FORUM??? |

Oh. Well,I still hope she's not a lawyer because she doesn't seem able to read. "Amish Mom" (is that the "Bee Balm mom"?) very clearly said that she buys grains and milk and meats, just like the rest of us do. Yeah, she bakes her own bread, but in a bread machine, so I don't see how that makes her Amish....... She doesn't have livestock or anything like that, just a vegetable garden. (I am wondering about the bee balm.. though...)
