[...] I’m sure everyone’s eager for an update on the Grand Coupon Experiment since the last one was almost two weeks ago. I’ll skip the product-by-product breakdown and jump right to the big statistics. [...]

O.K. I just read Erica’s comments on The Science (Fiction) of Coupons post here at Punny Money. She wasn’t happy. So, I assured her that she is in good hands here at Punny Money and that a little sense of humor might help these punny (I mean funny) econ lessons go down like sugary medicine.

Anyway, she is compelled to defend the coupon mavens of this world. Great! Me too. So, if I knew how to link to this post, I would, but I don’t know how to do that. At any rate, you can see the post dated May 27th at http://homemakeover.blogspot.com called Following Punny Money’s Grand Coupon Experiment for a particular spin on the coupon conundrum.

re -1.58 for the sunday paper — did you buy the paper just for the coupons or did you read the rest of the paper too, or do the crossword? If you get other uses out of the newspaper itself you arent wasting the money. we use our paper after we read it to wash windows, comics wrap presents, do the crosswords, use the paper witha wire rack on top to drain bacon grease or grease from fried items and to pad things when shipping.

It’s not just about the coupons…….its about reusing and using what you have in your well-stocked pantry

Nickel, you’re absolutely right about the green text and link thing. I’ve got a couple ideas to try out, but I’ll post something at the usual place to ask for suggestions. Thanks for pointing that out!

Interesting results. We don’t generally use coupons. By the way, your use of green text for emphasis, as well as for links is kind of confusing. I never know what to click!

Remember, too, that the more weeks of coupon inserts you have from which to pull, the greater your savings. Very rarely do products go on sale the week their coupons are featured in the newspaper. To get the most out of Couponmom or similar sites, I would recommend at least a month’s worth of inserts.
