On being .
Joyce Bnpp
a farm wife
-And other
hazards
Each year, I find greater dif
ficulty in generating excitement,
over the routine involved in the 1
day-to-day responsibility of
housekeeping.
I mean, how mentally
challenged can you feel over dirty
socks and jeans strewn across the 1
bathroom floor or find exhilaration
behind the controls of a vacuum
cleaner? Still, someone has to do it
and in spite of all the hoopla
about women’s lib, the greatest
majority of that work is still being
done by women. I
So, does it come as a surprise,
then, that both full-time and part
time, urban and rural
homemakers, are turning to thrill
I LOST 170 POUNDS
in about 6 months, and I am still losing. Nothing
ever worked for me like HERBALIFE does. I
feel great.”

I’m talking “couponing” here.
You know, couponing. Clipping all
those little cents-off slips of paper
for the weekly game you play at
the supermarket.
This game has become a
national pasttime, right up there
with baseball and watching
television. Equipment to play is
cheap. If you doubt that, compare
the price of a catchers’ mitt to the
cost of sharp scissors.
Playing grounds for this sport
are abundant, warm, fairly ac
cessible and have no membership
dues. And since the game is played
by individuals, each participant

can depart the starting Une at his
own schedule and pace.
Players range from the die-hard
professionals, shopping with a
thousand neatly clipped slips filed
m a hundred labeled com
partments in a shoebox, to those of
us more amateurish' contestants
juggling their playing cards from
old envelopes with slapped-on
divider tags.
While it’s every man for himself
in the coupon game, the God-given
bonus of a kid who adores clipping
coupons from old magazines and
newspapers will definitely add to
your potential high score at the
goal line.
There is one method of term play
I’ve discovered, an underground
fellowship of other players who
will share their wealth of unused
coupons. The shared goal of saving
money can result in some very
deep mutual friendships.
Couponers share a silent kinship
along the playing aisles, our eyes
meeting with a sense of conspiracy
against the economy, patiently
waiting while those of the
sisterhood and an occasional man
or two( plot their strategy against
the shelves.
Non-couponers are obvious by
their accusing stares at you as you
hold up a line of 10 other shoppers
hurrying for the exits. We tolerate
their impatience knowingly,
remembering how we, too, felt

bciore we grew addicted to this
redeeming pasttime.
Minor snags in the game include
a mandatory rule (or so it seems)
that all expiration dates be printed
in letters the size of ant tracks. A
second hangup is that when you do
finally locate the date, in the pain
of eyestrain, it expired yesterday.
A perfect score in couponing,
naturally, is to leave the store with
several bags of groceries obtained
totally free, after all coupons,
doubled coupons and instant
redeem coupons are whizzed
through the computerized
checkout system.
While there are professionals
who do attain that level of
achievement occasionally, most of
us are simply happy to knock 10 or
15 bucks from the bottom line.

couponing is finding a doubled-50-
center that expires the day you’re
shopping on a desparately-needed
item that was just marked down to
a dollar as a weekly special.
Bingo. The grin that crosses the
face of a couponer so blessed is
reminiscent of a gambler whose
slot machine has just piled his lap
full of silver dollars.
The only real loser in his exer
cise is the weary and beleagured
checkout clerk who must tally the
hand while explaining to some
irate shopper why a certain coupon
is unredeemable.
Hats off to all retailers who aid
and a bet us coupon fanatics. I
have but one suggestion.
