I'm with you on this note!  My wife is a rebater and is constantly clipping
coupons and cutting up the garbage.  She TYPICALLY hacks 10 to 20% off our
grocery bills (thats $15 to $20 a week).  You'ld be amazed at how many things
she gets for FREE, like milk, hamberburger, paper towels etc..  On top of
the money off and freebies hardly a week goes by that she doesn't get $3 to
$5 bucks in the mail on rebates for buying stuff we use everyday!  

So please people, DO NOT USE your coupons, we might not do as well if you do!
