Back in my day we lived for, and by, coupons for groceries and other essentials. It was a thrill to match them with our current needs, thinking about all we could buy on a stretched budget.
Today my crazy ageing brain wandered to “weird coupons”…
It might be exciting to wake up
some days and collect a different
kind of coupons from the mailbox
not ones for coffee or catfood or
likely-freezer-burn cabbage rolls–
Imagine the relief to find savings
on things like knots and wrinkles
typical of normal days
(abnormal ones not included)–
Here are a few you might
be interested in:
50% off negative feedback
“2 for 1” sale on profanity
(limited quantities)
10% off artificial smiles
but Look! there’s a
“manager’s overstock”
basket of eye-rolling…
The best one, to me, would be
75% off that troublesome
situation I still haven’t
found a positive and doable
solution for.

(If I’ve lost you, the idea is that all these things would be less distressing than usual…doable😉)

The “50% off negative feedback” may be the one I could be tempted with a coupon for. Or I could just get in the habit of giving positive feedback instead (which should be free). That would save money.

Hahahahahahaha–yes, positive feedback surely must be Free…and saving money is always good, but difficult with the tempter Amazon breathing too near. Thanks much for being here, Frank.

I’ll use the 2 for 1 profanity. That’s how I release stress!
