Re: Extreme couponing?
I try to avoid products with MSG and trans fats. I eat a lot of fresh fruit. The point is that there are extremes on both ends. Yes, I think it can be a sickness if people are just getting gobs of stuff for no purpose than the rush of getting stuff. That's kind of weird and I see no purpose in that.
However, blaming extreme couponers for what is going on in the supermarkets (them cutting back on allowing coupons etc.) is very short sighted IMO. What is happening is an overall inflation and recession in the larger economy that is causing the stores to have to revamp their systems. It's just a result of the housing bubble burst and the fed printing so much money. And it's not over yet, I fear.
I would recommend that everybody get out those coupons and do whatever it takes to get at least a month's work of back stock. You might need it. If not, rotate it and use it up.
