Dirt Cheap Coupons

Jenny June asked:


My neighbor just received a lone star card for emergency food assistance, to maximize her savings, she wants to use coupons. I told her that I don't think it would matter? Has anyone tried this?

Luis asked:


My mom has recently asked me to look online to find some coupons, but the sites I've been to only have certain coupons or you need to sign up to the site in order to look at the coupons, and I don't want to sign up because then I have to give up my email and then who the heck knows what they'll do with it.

The ones where you get something for free and don't have to buy anything else to get it.

We just registered at a department store this weekend. They gave us a whole bunch of coupons for 10% off any registry item that we can give to our guests to use when they buy us gifts.

I feel a little funny about this -- it seems weird to send them out with the invitations....should I give them to the people who are throwing showers for me and have them give them out in the shower invites? Only about half of the people on the invite list would be invited to the showers -- most are scattered across the country. (At least, I assume that we only invite people to a shower if they are likely to attend? Or does everyone on the guest list get invited?)

Should we send them out with the save-the-dates?

I feel like what we're "supposed" to do is to give them to our parents and friends and have them distribute the coupons to everyone else. But, first of all, that seems like an inconvenience to our parents. And second, many of our friends are "stand-alone" friends (meaning that they don't know anyone else who will be invited). And, like I said, most people are out of town.

My fiance says that it shouldn't matter if we send them out ourselves with the save-the-dates or invitations because it's better to give people a 10% discount than to tiptoe around it and have them have to pay full price.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

A department store advertises that all of its CDs are on sale at 35% off their regular price. However, if you use the store’s coupon this Saturday, you will get an additional 15% off. Norm and Sara explore different ways this information might be interpreted.

Norm says the purchase price is 35% + 15% = 50% off the original price. Sara disagrees and says the purchase price is 35% off the original price and then 15% off the sale price. The regular price of the CD they plan to buy is $15.99. Which interpretation of the advertisement leads to the least purchase price? What is the positive difference between Norm’s purchase price and Sara’s purchase price?
