I've been having problems with the coupons. Some stores refuse to take the ones printed on the computer. I believe they think it's a "copy". It's frustrating to get to the checkout and find they won't accept them. I don't buy that many processed items anyway so my savings would be very small. Unless I can find another way....... I'm brainstorming because I remember how I used to smile leaving the store years ago when coupons were everywhere.

Also, too, NY has a 5 cent deposit on most soda and beer cans. I don't avail myself because I don't drink very much of either one. I drink beer when I eat crab which is usually on special occasions (their expensive). I don't need the sugar so I don't drink soda. I sure wish water had a deposit in NY. It's only in ME. I could do that, it would be small though. I'm still thinking.
