BF is a smoker with no intention to quit. He rolls his own cigarettes. I think he said he spends a buck fity a pack or some such.... And he's a social smoker too. He doesn't smoke at home but get him in the car or at the bar and he's a freakin chimney. lol. Its so strange....

It's against the law to smoke inside public places in ohio. Best law ever made!.

I do coupons. I can't remember the last time I paid for food. Last time I went to the grocery store they gave me 14.34$ and I feed 5 people.

That's really good.I have heard about extreme couponing.

It takes ALOT of time. It's pretty much a full time job. You'd have to be a housewife with no job to successfully do that

Yeah I imagine it would be very time consuming.

Takes time....how much? If it takes two of you over 15 hours, my scenario applies

Gathering up enough coupons and cutting/printing, organizing don't take 10 minutes

Everything I've seen on it people are spending 30-40 hours a week tracking down deal, they buy stuff they don't need just cause it's so cheap, and they stock up on all sorts of random items in an unreasonable manor. Plus some of them will spend close to an hour just checking out of the grocery store cause of all the coupons. I'd rather just go to work and earn a check to pay full price for what I want.

Thats crazy, I remember when I was a bag boy at Ralphs I would see this happen, people would leave the store with a cart of groceries, AND some pocket change, I want to learn how to do this.

All I do is buy the local papers. my room mates are in on it to so that helps. I spend maybe 3 hours everyweek cutting. I try to stay away from free stuff. Were trying to get some stuff together for new Jersey (my home town) !

Local paper coupons? I thought there was more to it, hard to find coupons, double coupon day, etc.. It sounds like a lot of work, I wouldnt go through all that for me, but Id do it to help out my family.

Local papers and have company's send you coupons. All stores he automatically make coupons worth a 1$ and they also double. Feeding 5 people isn't cheap. We eat for free most of the time when the store owed us money we spent over 800$.

I didnt understand you here. $800, is that what you would normally spend every 2 weeks, a month??
