Thick Skin

So I have to applaud everyone that coupons! How do you take and respond to the negative comments from other shoppers??

Today at the southend wal mart I thought I was going to cry, some guy informed me that "only old people use coupons" and that I must "have a lot of time on my hands to look through flyers".

I mean I know it took me over 5 minutes to cash out, but seriously... why would people care if I want to use coupons or price match??

Just curious how everyone else in Sudbury responds to negativity from other shoppers?

Thanks

Deanc, Welcome to SC! Do not worry about the snide comments. You have taken on a little part time job called couponing. And why have you decided to coupon, going to answer that for you, Lol, to save money and make life just a little better for your family. Happy Sunday and happy shopping. Take care, Kitty

I had a similar thing happen to me at that same walmart. I just snarked back and said I was saving $50 and how much was he saving? I shut him right down.

I don't care what other people think. My family saves enough with coupons to make it worth while. Smart people use coupons and I read the flyers every week and I'm only 27 - not exactly a senior citizen! I'd juts laugh it off and say something about how much I saved that day. Say for example you had 10 dollars worth of coupons, you could tell him that if he wants to give you the 10 bucks out of his pocket, you'll gladly put your coupons back in your bag and get going. Otherwise he can just shut it :) lol

Lol I haven't heard anything from shoppers yet.

I get a lot of rolling eyes
