Comments on: The Coupon Man Poem – Day 85: Eating Well On $1 A Day http://www.grocerycouponguide.com/articles/the-coupon-man-poem-day-85-eating-well-on-1-a-day/ A guide that shows you how to save money on groceries with grocery coupons Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:22:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lea http://www.grocerycouponguide.com/articles/the-coupon-man-poem-day-85-eating-well-on-1-a-day/comment-page-1/#comment-58573 Lea Thu, 12 Aug 2010 06:38:22 +0000 http://www.grocerycouponguide.com/?p=5096#comment-58573 The poem was originally a song from an old TV series, The Rifleman. I tried and tried, but I haven't actually been able to find it sung out loud. If anyone can find it, please share! I am an avid EVE Online player, and one day trolling the depths of the EVE forums I came across "The Rifter Man" song, a parody of the Rifleman... The topic is unimportant, but it builds a bridge... When I saw the blog post titled, "The Coupon Man" it immediately came to mind, and I set to work modifying it to fit the theme! After consulting with a couple friends, the finished product was posted to the comments after maybe around 2 hours of editing and revising. I don't think any of them have seen this post, so they will be excited to see we were featured !! I'm sorry that I kind of randomly blasted it on that thread... I felt that any introduction I would have given it would have been a disservice! And that is the story of how the poem came to be :D yay! Sorry for the late reply! I have been out of town on vacation. Food was included in the trip, but my $5 Kraft catalina expired while I was gone! The poem was originally a song from an old TV series, The Rifleman.

I'm trying to be much more conscious of coupons and extra bucks as we have a fairly close CVS plus we visit there often for medication. I too have found that the more you use your card the more they send you coupons. I get good coupon offers just about every weekend although I can't always use them (too often sick to go out) but I have found your posts very encouraging. Thanks!

You can REALLY splurge now!! So essentially, you could spend about $3 a day at this point to get yourself to the end of the challenge under budget. You can REALLY splurge now!!

Assuming of course, that the deal is still going on and I don't know if it is or not. Walgreens has a similar type deal where they will post an ad saying that (for example) you buy an olay body wash for $4 and you'll get a $4 register reward. It's the same type of deal, you get a coupon good on your next order. However, if you use that $4 register reward to buy another $4 olay body wash, you will not get a new register reward.

No matter how I mixed it after defrosting, it had lost it's thickness and was a weird soupy grainy texture. Carla,
