Never judge a book by its cover!

I always am strategically placing coupons almost daily at my local sdm. I ran into sdm after my son's soccer game to get some Advil, Multibionata and check for clearances,manager specials and coupons. I was in the vitamin section when I saw this really big indian man , who could seriously pass for a hit-man. He looked so intimidating and I am sure he was irritated by my crying baby in the stroller. I was determined to get the multibionata nonetheless, but then he caught my attention again when he went into a corner and opened his briefcase. All I could think was please do not steal in front of me because I have a overactive conscience and I will have to tell on you. It was then that I heard the all too familiar jingle of coins. I peered over and there he was with a bag of change counting pennies and trying to be discreet about it.

I took out my coupons and timidly tapped his arm and explained how he would only have to pay 1.99 if he used them. He was soooo thankful and was nearly in tears. He was just buying one box to send to his father in India but because of the coupons he was able to buy six.

I went home with one box of Advil , a grumpy baby and a raincheck for vitamins, it was not a typical haul for me but I was quite content .

What a wonderful thing you did! WTG!
