WINNERS!!!- $300 worth of coupons for FREE!!

[Sunraven]

I don't need any coupons so if I win any, the Toronto down-towners can have a go at it.

I was at No Frills yesterday when I saw a guy, in his 30s, picking up a box of Huggies diapers. Right staring at him was the pad for Huggies coupons. So I pointed it out to him and our conversation went like this:

Me: Take one of those (pointing at the pad), there are coupons in there
Him: What is in there?
Me: Coupons to save you money on the diapers - $2 off
Him: Why?
Me: To save you money, so you pay $2 less
Him: What's the catch? Do you work for them?
(I had a basketful of groceries with me, bleary eyed tired and getting irritable)
Me: There is no catch. It's free money
Him: I don't think so. There is always something hidden. They want something.
Me: Whatever - Up to you! You are walking away from a toonie on the floor.
Him: Where? Where is the toonie?

At this point, beyond exasperated because I was in a hurry and this guy just don't 'get it', I just started laughing so hard that I had tears on my cheeks. The guy, baffled and embarrassed, walked away muttering "She is nuts!"

BTW, my husband just coined a new term for me "OCD - Obsessive Coupon Disorder"

I could have missed this story!! You didn't post it in the TO thread.

Giggling to myself here, DH is giving me weird looks.

I like to give away coupons to people in the grocery store, or wherever else I am that people are buying something that I have coupons for. Last week I was at SDM and this little old lady in front of me had 2 packages of Cottonelle and a bag of Depends. I had been saving my Cottonelle for when there was a sale and I needed toliet tissue, but she looked like she could use the savings, so I offered 2 X $1 cpns for the Cottonelle and one $2 cpn for the Depends. She said 'Oh thank-you dear. I sure can use the money that you saved me." I felt really good about saving this poor old little lady money, and I even gave her another $2 Depends cpn for the next purchase. After she handed the girl the cpns and the girl told her the total, she asked for scratch tickets and ended up buying around $10 worth. Here I thought that she could use the money, and she turned around and spent it and more on tickets. Oh well,at least I did my RAOK for the day!
PS Great contest!

[Sandra4]

I just want to add my my THANK YOU SPEECH:

I would like to thank my parents....because they never believed in my , never believed in my coupons...or my capabilities to cut coupons out effectively, collect them, organize them, dispurse of them accordingly, and then strategically plan purchases with the coupons. Had they continued to not believe in me, and maybe in the beginning they encouraged me, I may not be here today. I may not be an obsessive coupon collector...so I am grateful they were discouraging in the beginning, only for me to continue to collect them, to proove to them "u rilly ken buy free stuff in kanada!"
i just want to thank my husband, cause he didnt believe in me either...and last but not least, I want to thank my 4 children who would shout at the top of their lungs in Save-on, wal-mart, zellers and anywhere else we went shopping "Mama, is this a coupon!!!!?, Mama do u need this coupon!!!!!???"

and Thank you LIZARDLIPZ for this great contest!
