Thrifty Mom Uses Online Printable Grocery Coupons
I come from a long line of women unable to pass up a sale. If my grandmother sees sixty-dollar jeans on sale for ten dollars, it doesn’t matter if they fit well; she will buy them. She must buy them. My sister can’t go into a store without running through the clearance section, and has piles of little knick-knacks in a special closet that her kids come to when they need a last minute birthday present. I cannot stand to see markdowns without taking advantage and therefore have five times more sheets in my house than beds, as well as an embarrassingly large collection of soup bowls.
Yet despite all that, I was still surprised to walk into my kitchen one day and find over a hundred boxes of Cheerios. They were stacked in shaky towers all over the kitchen floor, table, and countertops. They weren’t flavored, or special. Just a regular yellow box of tiny loops of cereal - Cheerios. I don’t think that any of my siblings or I even liked Cheerios then, not to mention how much our hatred of them grew as we were forced to eat Cheerios for breakfast every day for two years. After I was given a moment to process the mess in the kitchen, the only explanation that I could find was, there must have been a sale, but still it seemed unlikely. I didn’t know then that it was online printable grocery coupons that had taken over my kitchen.
It would seem that my mother, a long-time clipper of regular coupons, had stumbled upon an online printable grocery coupon that didn’t say Limit One per Customer at the bottom, the way most online printable grocery coupons do.
Instead it had said Free Box of Cheerios with Any Store Purchase. My mother had taken the online printable grocery coupon to heart. She printed out two hundred, and took my sisters and brothers to the store. They were each to man carts while she found everything else in the store that was on sale. (Being sure to use another dozen or so online printable grocery coupons). She found about a hundred things that my family needed (or could use in the upcoming months) and filled the first two carts with cans of soup, mustard, sugar, flour, and even bottles of shampoo. With three more shopping carts and enlisting the help of a grocer, my mother gathered up every box of Cheerios in the entire store, and pushed towards the check out line, with her two hundred online printable grocery coupons.
The cashier could find no reason to deny my mother a hundred and twenty free boxes of cereal since she clearly had online printable grocery coupons, and nowhere on them did it say that she couldn’t have as many boxes of Cheerios as she wanted.
We learned to make deserts, bars, and we even breaded chicken in crushed Cheerios. After two years, when our supply had run out, and we had celebrated the absence of Cheerios with many different cereals, it was weird eating meals without the little loops.
So, together, my siblings and I bought my mom a Mother’s Day gift: a dozen boxes of Cheerios, with the help of online printable grocery coupons.
