    So today I go into Wal-Mart and price match the Smart 16 bread as conveniently enough Shoppers didn't have any left. So I grab 6 loaves and 4 jars of Relish and head to the counter. I set my stuff on the belt and place the bar in. the couple behind me throws some stuff on the belt and the guy says to his wife "Oh great look at all the coupons this guy has. This is going to take forever." His wife tries to hush him quickly as I turn smile and say "Yes sir. Just learned the benefits of couponing. However I notice you have 2 ziplock containers on the belt. I assume there for your lunches." To which the guy nodded. I open up my container and hand him one of the 10 b2g2 coupons and say "Here While you’re waiting for my check out, why dont you get 2 more for free." Well I tell you I've never seen a grown man move so fast in my life. When he came back he was all smiles and even thanked me for the coupon. On the way out I noticed a lady in line buying Duracell’s so quickly handed her my only coupon that I know I wasn’t going to use in time.

    Oh and my total for the bread and relish? 10$. Man I love couponing.

    Ba Bam!
    You told him.
    And, you converted him lickedy split.
    I bet he will never say that again to another couponer.
    I like your style -- you didn't get mad, you just got even (quote Clint Eastwood.)

    Rep coming to your for your wise way of dealing with this situation.
