Coupon Books

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe


My son’s awesome school is selling those little blue coupon books to raise money for the school’s technology department. The books are twelve dollars each, which is a pretty good deal. Each kid has to sell a minimum of five coupon books. Well, I guess they don’t have to, but it is strongly encouraged for them to sell at least five. There are coupons in the book for all kinds of things. Lots of restaurant coupons, cable tv deals and packages, buy one get one free deals, etc. All you have to do in some cases is use a single coupon and you’ve already paid off the coupon book (a few of the coupons are valued at greater than twelve dollars). It really is a good deal, if you’ve got the extra twelve dollars lying around. We bought two of the books, the grandparents each bought one, and my sister bought one. That is our five. I’m not one to ask my coworkers to buy from me, or go door to door to our neighbors. That is just not my style.
