Which brings up a good point, @Seek_Kolinahr. Coupons are only worth collecting if you actually are interested in using the product that they’re for. There are plenty of products that people would not entertain using, and for someone who tends to buy store brands only, coupons are a form of clutter. The idea of coupons can be more seductive than the practicality of actually using them. Sometimes, in order to get a big savings with coupons, you have to spend money on things that you probably won’t really use, or buy name brands that cost more than store brand. (Example: Store brand butter was $1.89 a lb. vs. Land O Lakes at $3.69. The 50 cent coupon for Land O Lakes isn’t worth it.) The $1 on Mrs. Dash wouldn’t be of any use to me, because I don’t use it. But, being my mother’s daughter, I would feel compelled to clip it and carry it around until it expires.
