Dirt Cheap Coupons

weirdiscomplimentary asked:


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?

We get the large envelope of Valpak coupons at least once a month and they have all kinds of coupons in there for dentist visits, oil changes, etc. Also, we get some sort of local newspaper once a week with pizza coupons, department store ads, etc.

Do you pay attention to this stuff and use it at a later date, or do you immediately throw it away?

in which you receive $30 off any purchase over $50. A competing store is offering 30% off all purchases over $50. Write and graph two equations that describe the prices at both stores. When does the store OFFERING the coupon sale have a better deal than their competitor?

JustME asked:


I got some coupons for $5 off in my email, they are from a department store, can i sell them online, like ebay? If i put they are bidding for the time it took me to aquire cut and mail the coupons? And can i sell like 3 at a time to one person? or is it illegal? I dont see how it is illegal since the store does not put a restriction on how many you can get.
