Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 16, 2023

Darryl you romantic devil. Swept Wanda off her feet with a thirty five percent off coupon.

My wife used to be a coupon expert. Now we have no need to save, so they’re too much trouble for her most of the time, but she goes around to four different groceries to get the best prices and won’t buy what we need if she thinks she can get it cheaper in a day or two. It goes against her grain to pay full price.

I remember when coupons were for 10 cents off grocery items. Now they need to be a dollar before they get my attention. I haven’t used coupons since my snore strips stopped including them inside for the next purchase. Store-level coupons have been replaced by loyalty cards.

Whatever turns you on, Wanda!

Unfortunately, that price doesn’t include the babysitter’s fee.

Now be expected to leave at least a 35% tip.

They’re still young and the coupon helps family finances go a bit further, however little. As a Plugger, a 75% off coupon for dinner wouldn’t make my wife all giddy and romantic.

“Swanky” restaurants don’t offer coupons.

Romantic!

A line from Yankovich’s Tacky (Happy parody) goes “I bring a coupon book to all my dates” >

We went to lunch with a $2 coupon. Tip for an eat-in 3 sandwiches lunch with waitress was $7.50

Darryl nose a thing or two.

The ‘Coupon Swoon’ !! … :)

Comic Nate Bargatze does a bit about his wife being addicted to coupons and him hating them, feeling self-conscious using them to buy something like deodorant. “I…I don’t have ALL the money, but I’m almost there. But I have this coupon.”

“Yew sexy thang!!”

We don’t have coupons anymore. We have membership cards and in store savings. I like to shop around for deals and was thrilled to be walking distance from the store with the best prices but I still ride my little e-bike around the area to get the better quality produce from stores that are a bit farther away. It’s much better than the bus any day.

Fuel points every time I shop, $4.50 a gallon right now for regular after a couple of months or so under four bucks. I was never ever good about coupons even if they’re in my wallet (the wife puts them there) and now I pay with my phone so the wallet stays in my back pocket, if there’s any coupons there they’re doomed to expire lol

Sounds pretty darn good to me.

Get Rhonda to babysit. We haven’t seen her in a while.

In the early ’60s, boxes of Oat Flakes often had coupons for 5 cents off! (Are they still being made? I liked them.)

Stores that price match are a thing of the past also.

It’s true – half the reason that my hubby and I went to Ruth’s Chris one time was because we had a gift card!

Place here in town gives you discount equal to your age. Very popular with the 80+ crowd. And, yes, they do give a small refund if you’re over 100.

I have 2 personal coupons and use them every chance I get. One is my Senior Citizen coupon. The other is my USMC Veteran coupon.

And no smelly kids to ruin the mood like they did during the meteor shower! ;)
