Some of these cans have a warning that the patching goop can be explosive and you're supposed to tell any repair guy , you used it. If you do use the stuff, use it before the "bead" gets broken and I jack up the tire a bit to help it inflate. Good luck, it's better than nothing. Keep that spare inflated, U might need it. -- Karma ; what a concept! |

Not sure how the fat lady and her grocery cart got into this discussion. You're talking about one stupid shopper. Not everybody who uses coupons are fat and buy junk food. Plenty of people who use and DO NOT use coupons buy mounds of junk food. > Feb 7, the first thing you ever posted to me. > Your very first typed line. > You're not as smart as you seem to think you are.

Yes, I said that and I stand by what I said. > In your opinion you were complimenting my intelligence or trying to say that not using coupons is smart? You could be smarter with your grocery shopping by judiciously using coupons.

Got Bob's and buy the soap there, as long as it's not a long way out of your way to shop there.

Hmmmmmm, I've never come across any 'punctured' cellophane on the meats I buy. > The marked down meat is just this side of spoiled. > That is why they marked it down. > Ask the butcher. No, it's not.

I showed you an example of something that works better than glass jars but you are too narrow minded to even see anything other than your way. I'm done with you ace. I can see it's your way or no way. |
| trader4@optonline.net: Feb 11 05:04AM -0800 > I'm done with you ace. I can see it's your way or no way. Let's recap as to who started this, shall we? Canopy posted this: " I never use coupons, and I easily stay under $200 a month for one person and often two people." At which point your retort questioned Canopy's intelligence: "You're not as smart as you seem to think you are. Coupons CAN save you money and keep you under $200 per month. " So, I'd say it's you who has the intolerant position. All Canopy said is that the weekly non-coupon specials work for him and that he can stay under $200 a week using that alone. He didn't say coupons can't also save you money? So, what exactly is your problem? I rely on the weekly non-coupon sales for the bulk of my purchases too. It works and like the article says, I find it far more effective than coupons. For example, my local supermarket will frequently have Progresso Soups that are regularly $2.79 on sale for $1, with the only limit being 4 per variety. And they have Ben and Jerry's on sale for $2.50 instead of $5 about every couple weeks. There are a *lot* of specials like that and I find them better than the typical coupon for $.50 or $1 off one item, or worse off if you buy two or three of the item. Do I still use coupons occasionally? Sure, if one happens to come my way. If you happen to have one, it can sweeten the deal on one of the already on sale items. But like Canopy, I don't find them to be the easiest, best way to save a lot of money and it's not worth my time and money to buy the Sunday papers just to go looking for the occasional couple that I might use. The coupons I do use are the ones I don't have to go looking for, ie the ones that print out at the cash register. In the pyramid of how to save money, using the technique that the article talks about should be at the core. After that, sure coupons can save you money too. But the fact some of us don't focus heavily on coupons, get most of our savings the way the article outlines, doesn't make us dumb. |

Well Joann, I notice that you snipped all the math while pretending that it didn't exist, as well as many other places where you were shown to be a worthless cunt. I reposted it here, so it doesn't get past you. You are the peace of trash that killed this group. |

I see that you use nearly identical methods as I do regarding buying food. How do you store your food? I use freezer jars for fresh vegetables and meat that has been portioned down to use sized portions. Usually I freeze the entire package the way I got if from the store, and only jar it after I take one out to use it. That way I can refreeze what I didn't use before it completely thaws and it can set in that jar for months with no ill effects. I originally used plastic bags until I found the freezer jars and started using them. With using plastic bags costing between $0.25 to $2.40 a lb to store parted up meat I wasn't saving myself anything. The jars run $1.33 each and are reusable for years, as long as you wash them as soon as you empty them to prevent the lid from rusting, and don't break them. I noticed that Joann thought that the jars are a really bad idea, but never stated exactly why she had that opinion. I don't consider plastic bags a bad idea, just that you have to be careful or the cost of the bag will take away your savings on the purchase. I was about to abandon this group until I see your post. Thanks again for stating your opinion. |
