COUPONS
Seems that we are checking out coupons more than ever. If we want to get something, we see if we have a coupon. This however doesn't always mean savings.
When we go shopping, the coupons are looked at first, but we also check out the others. It is still sometimes cheaper to get a 'no name brand' item over one with a coupon. This sometimes is not best however as you really need to check out both labels. The cheaper brand may have more sodium or calories than another. It could also be a taste issue. I personally do not like the taste of generic Coke and will get Regular Coca-Cola when I can. Usually it has to be on sale however :D
The reason I bring this up as my son wanted McDonald's for lunch after I went to return a book. I did have a coupon for a new McDonald's that we could use. I just had to buy a Value Meal and he got a Happy Meal for FREE. Though eating out is no longer the norm for us, I decided to go. I got the cheapest Value Meal possible (2 Hamburgers) at the Medium size and he got his Happy Meal.
They are showcasing the Madagascar 3 movie toys for the Kids Meals. He however ended up with a Madagascar 2 movie toy. Found it funny that even the major food chains are re-using old product to save money ~ WTF!
