Woo-hoo!^ I tip my hat to you!
I used to be a lot more meticulous w/coupons, but I just don't shop quite as much these days. But I am big on on-line discounts, entertainment pub. discounts/cpns.
I went to TGI Friday's w/my son & his friend -- I had inquired about using two diff. cpns -- but was told that only one was allowed. The manager had come around to ask how our meal was & I told her that the ribs were charred & the potato skins were overcooked -- ended getting the benefit of both cpns!!
