Coupons

Cut them out with great care
Check the expiry dates
Carry them in your purse
Combine if allowed and
Carefully explain to
Cashiers who sometimes are
Confounded at the deal

My husband loves to buy things with coupons and almost always has to prove he is right with salespeople. I am sure it is a headache for the store staff. I loved your articulate and well written pleiades. ; ) 7
