A net cop! Smoking a pipe has long been considered the frugal alternative to ciggies.
Using coupons to save money, particularly coupons which allow the purchase of a $5 product for $1 is frugal also. So I can mark this post whatever I want.
Don't like it? Quick, get a moderator!

Expecting people to bend over backward for you only because of your limited ability to visualize is sociopathic.
Not everyone was wrong, only the dummies at Walmart.
> C. What did you expect? WalMart is the largest employer of people stuck on welfare. When a newly hired worker is hired, he is given classes on how to apply for food-stamps and how to qualify for State paid child care. Just pay your money and shut up. You want service, you go to a place that offers service.

I don't want service I want tobacco and Walmart is the only local retailer that carries the brand the coupon was for.
Had I driven out of my way to a place that offered service the use of the coupon wouldn't have been frugal.

Non-sequitur.
Suppose I continue to shop at Walmart so that people like you can continue to have jobs where they teach you to apply for food stamps..

It thinks!
I didn't drive "around", it was a straight line.
The $4 I saved by using the coupon more than paid for the gas
my electric car used...
Moreover, we also needed an item not in stock at the first store.
