<div class="field-item"><p>Last weekend I was at home in the Philadelphia area visiting my family. I am trying to convince my non-couponing sister to start clipping, so I went to the store with her, binder in tow.</p><p>In all, we saved about $28, and she was very impressed. But the funniest part was when we got to the register...</p><p>The cashier scanned her store card and then my sister declared, "We have a TON of coupons!" The cashier just smiled and said, "OK." I laughed out loud because I thought it was so funny (we actually didn't have that many coupons, at least by my standards). But it is a good reminder that you should actually talk to your cashier. Especially if you have a rain check to redeem or some other coupon that may be out of the norm, they really appreciate the heads up. Plus, most of them are super nice folks...</p></div>

<div class="field-item"><p>I've said it before and I'm saying it again: one of the greatest things about couponing is that you can then be generous to others. With things like toothpaste routinely FREE after coupon and/or rebate, there's really no reason to be stingy!</p><p>So if you have a glut of items clogging up your pantry or closet, here's a good opportunity to purge for a good cause. The BJ's clubs in Raleigh (6301 Plantation Drive) and Garner (255 Shenstone Blvd.) along with the USO of North Carolina are collecting items including toothpaste, toothbrushes, bar soap, protein snack bars, gum and lip balm through the end of July. Collection bins have been placed in both stores. After the drive, "welcome home" care packages will be assembled for troops. </p></div>
