I don't think the man eating roadkill is really in the same category as couponers but I am looking at the response of people on Twitter and I honestly can't believe how many people are against couponers.

I don't get why we're the different ones for getting more for our money and the norm is to pay more for no reason

It may be that they are more against the ones that "abuse" coupons or use so many it holds them up in the queue. I've not seen the Twitter page though; which one is it?

Haha - Dove deodorant.

I giggle at the Dove deodorant bit ... only as I am sat in my bedroom not far from my stash.


I just searched 'channel 4' on Twitter ... to quote some:

- "Can not stop laughing at #theultimateguidetopennypinching on channel 4, they are #tootightforwords"

- "Omg who's watching channel 4 !! Tight f****rs!"

- "So when these penny pinchers on channel 4 are on their death bed do you think they'll regret wasting their sad little lives?"

- "seriously channel 4 . tight !!!! people what a F-ing bore of a person to know or go out with"


I think its funny that people make such judgements as I am a 23 year old graduate just about to move out with my boyfriend and we'd be classed as a 'young professional couple', people who know me have no clue how bargainous I like to be. I am into fashion and beauty, go out and have fun etc ... but these things are more possible because I don't waste money on things that I don't have to such as coupons for toilet roll/cleaner/food staples. I don't understand why you wouldn't faced with both choices!

Oh ok; so just the fact we're using coupons then; not even that she is pretty much abusing them! Not too keen on the roadkill idea myself though.

just a quickie for those interested in the coke truck.
Got down to see it the other day:j
Was nice to see the truck.It was all lit up.Think there were carol singers but just a cd playing when we arrived.
Can get your photo taken with santa in front of the truck although the que was massive

However only little cans of coke being given out and no coupons or other freebies:(

Still christmassy though

Not watched it yet have Sky plussed it for tomorrow....daughter collected me after she finished work and we managed to get quite a bit of Comfort at 5p a bottle...went to one T's and the shelves were bare, went to the next one and shelves there were bare apart from 4 lurking at the back, but I could see 2 boxes of 8 on the top shelf( sealed up)..no staff around so got the stool thingy that they use and got both boxes down and SA let us use 2 of the £1 mocs with the 10 PDF ones.....then went to another T's and got 10 more each there.....also got 2 hand wash each but the £1 mocs would not scan with those as they are not household, but SA insisted they should work and took them....got some Pilgrims choice too, so had a real couponfest and spare room fit to burst now....only had 1 cider coupon and used that, will have it if someone that drinks calls round to see us.Need to put my feet up now...
