What she did have was a great friendly attitude, and respect and was so thrilled at finding another fellow coupon user with a binder.
Her source for inserts was a local newspaper, who used to deliver them to her in bundles. She did absolutely nothing wrong in this. If the papers are not using the excess inserts then this way they were being used. She has posted on her blog that that she has extra inserts and coupons to GIVE away!! On occasion she askes for a stamp in exchange........she does not trade them, GIVES them away!! That is very nice of her to do indeed...........
When we chatted we also talked about why the paper had so many excess inserts when they were not actually being delivered in the newspaper...as some of you, and I, have already experienced.
That is another topic ...why do newspapers have so many extra inserts......... my boyfriend used to publish a magazine, all inserts are counted, to match the number of papers they go into. Some extra sure, but bundles and bundles has us both curious!!
Last night I read her blog, and upon checking her examples of sale prices and cpns used, I noticed that I have actually probably had a lot of those items for free or for a few pennies....... where she is happy to pay a dollar or 2 for them. We all have a certain price we are willing to accept to pay for certain items. Not everything is free.
As for clearing the shelves........ I certainly don't do that, and cannot speak for her..... but if her behaviour in her shopping habits are anything like the woman that I met yesterday, it would seem that shelf clearing is not one of them.
