As I sit here preparing to grocery shop for my first “real” trip in 2010, I thought I would take a moment to rant.
Not the best way to start, but people, I am FRUSTRATED!
I went down the list of coupon deals on Southern Savers, and how many coupons do I have?
Six.
This stinks.
Is this my fault?
Kind of.
Why?
Because I decided to live in Podunk, USA, where, apparently, I’m not supposed to be eating what the rest of the country eats.
Kellogg’s Special K bars are apparently not suitable for Small Town USA, hence the Red Plum people (or is it the manufacturer?) decided not to include a coupon in my newspaper’s supplement.
Thanks a lot.
I guess the “Powers That Be” would also like to see us country bumpkins be more green as they chose not to include the Solo paper plate coupon in my paper.
You know, we get tired of doing dishes. Eventually the kids do grow up, and then who do we have to wash them for us?
I wanted some Chow Mein noodles, but apparently I’m only supposed to eat Southern food, such as chitlins and Brunswick Stew. So, no free noodles for AuburnChick.
Now hear this, oh Powers That Be in the Coupon World:
Please start considering your smaller markets. We’re people too. We like to eat. We want ice cream, potato chips, and ketchup (especially after crock pot disasters that wasted entire bottles of the stuff).
We have families to feed, and we usually have less money than those who live in bigger cities. Why punish us just because we either cannot afford to live in Big City, USA or choose the peace and quiet of country living.
Either way, we still grocery shop, and we like (and need) to save money. We can’t afford to drive four hours to buy papers in larger regional areas, nor can we afford the subscription to have them mailed to us (did you know it would cost $6 per week to get Sunday papers mailed to me from across the state?).
Rant is over…until tomorrow, that is, when I check out the coupon selection…
