Let’s get a little Random

Posted on by

I have a coupon for a free Starbucks beverage. It’s been in my wallet for almost a month now. It expires at the end of this month, which is tomorrow. I’m not sure why, but I always feel awkward about using coupons. Aren’t coupons for crazy people? I know they’re fundamentally for saving money, but… Whenever I think of coupons I think of a family member who will not be named going so hardcore on the coupons that she actually GOT BACK money from the grocery store every week that she shopped. I’m not kidding. She’d buy about $100 worth of groceries and get back $3.50. And that’s with buying things like meat. How the fuck is that possible? Don’t ask me, I don’t know.

My friend J sent me an email yesterday to tell me that the Red Sox WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! I so need a TV. Congrats to my boys. :) :) :)

I really wish Netflix would let Macs view movies on demand. I really wish Rosetta worked properly without memory leaks in Leopard so I could BootCamp in a supported way and then reload Windows onto my Mac so that I could use Netflix. But, really, again, I just wish Netflix would let Macs view movies on demand. (Raise your hand if you followed along on that.)

Is Lady Sovereign popular anymore? I never visit Perez Hilton (not linking, find it for yourself) anymore to know.

One. more. thing. : If you are not enjoying the rotating tagline at the top of the blog then you are not living. I refresh my page just to get the next quote and I’m the one who chose them and put them there. I entertain myself.

  2. The Government Created Killer Nano Robot Infection? Poppy! I told you not to talk about my super-top-secret job on your blog! :pfft:

  3. Every once in awhile I see some news segment where some crazy lady gets her groceries for free because she devoted her life to clipping coupons. But you notice how they never fully explain this? They all just say things like, “I spend a lot of time clipping coupons.” No, no, no. You’re DOING something, and I want to know what it is so I can get free meat, too.

    Also, yeah, wtf, Netflix? They’d better figure it out soon.

  4. Hay, I do know what a coupon is for. I’m just wary of becoming crazy.

    Britt, I will put you in touch with my family member. :) (You’ll be sorry I did that, but maybe the savings are worth it.)

    Mel, all I have to say is: Jim Halpert.

    H!!!!!!, hi! So good to see you!!!! Yah, I am convinced she was selling her soul to get that free meat. And Netflix can KMA.

  5. I use coupons once in a while but it depends on what it is. I’ve also seen ladies who save mucho dinero by clipping coupons and I think it’s very smart, but I’m just not that organized or dedicated to it.

    I like the rotating tag line because it gives me something to read whenever I come here and you haven’t posted anything new. It makes it worth my while to check back frequently since I don’t use feeds.

  6. Sour, I totally wanna put up tag lines with secret messages just for you now. I’m going to figure that out, but I’m not going to tell you which ones are for you. :grins:

  7. Holy Shit woman!

    The Dutch are behind on e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, I hate sports and I even picked up on the Red Sox thing!

    Sheesh! :winks:

  12. I love me some Jim Halpert. Hold on, I’m gonna need a minute….

    Ooooh yeah, there it is. Mmmmm. :winks:

  14. I’ve never understood the negativity about using coupons. You’re saving money! What’s wrong with that? There’s a fine line, though, I suppose, between using a coupon you happened to come across and spending hours and hours a week gathering them on purpose and going to the store with a three-inch-high stack in hand. The latter is some kind of crazy, I think.

    The revolving tag line is cool, but what I really want to know is, what is that a picture of in that avatar you’re assigning to the avatar-less? Oh. I think I just figured it out. Is it that little milk guy?

  15. DB, thanks for rubbing my myopic face in it. :pfft:

    Natalie, definitely a conspiracy.

    Avi, I’m so glad I have your approval! :blank: :grins:

    Fab, thanks for making me feel worse. That’s so kind of you, you co… never mind.

    Avi, I am actually scared to know what trophy or prize you’re expecting for being the top commenter. And yet you hardly ever comment anymore, so whatever prize that would have been is now revoked.

    Mel, take all the time you need with him, sweetie.

    Sour, have you found one yet? :grins:

    Stef, I’m not dissing coupons, I just am scared to use them. That coupon will sit in my wallet until after it expires and then I will throw it away. The avatar is the Moofia Milk character

  21. An Office Space quote! Rock!

    I have nothing against coupons. To be able to make money on my groceries? Hell yeah, sign me up! I’ve never gone that hardcore on them before, and I was a cashier for 2 years, rockin’ the inside info on the BOGO offers.
