Even us old dudes will do well.
Good Evening al!
I got all my Thanksgiving and regular shopping done and saved $122 with coupons and my Ralphs club card!
I RULE!:imtheone::bow:
I wish I could go back in time and had talked my son in law into doing something like Physical Therapy... he went to school for computer stuff, but of course as soon as he finished that the tech bubble burst. So now he has an AA in computer stuff, but can't find a job doing what he trained to do. He's spent the last 10 years doing personal care of adults with disabilities... and not making very good money. Then he was working at a call center where they are now but he was so stressed because they treat the workers like second class citizens and like they are expendable. In the month he was there they fired like 6 or 7 people. He even got called into the office for going to the bathroom and getting a cup of coffee without permission.Quote:

Crossing fingers and toes that he gets it. It won't pay much but at least maybe his health will be better since he won't have to be under so much stress!

My Mom does the coupon thing like crazy. She'll come home with 10 or 12 bags of groceries and pay like $50 for it.Quote:

Yup. But Ralphs offers e-coupons meaning I've registered my card on their website and they have a full list of coupons for all kinds of things. I load them onto my Ralphs club card and when I scan the card at check out not only am I getting the Ralphs card exclusives but also all the coupons I added.Quote:

I love Ralphs and my club card.
I also get 20cents off a gallon on gas at their gas station.
