Heck, I’d love to find even 2 or 3 lady speed sticks for FREE.I almost never get free stuff but I pick up a couple of things here and there to help my grandmother out and my oldest son but yeah, 15 lady speed sticks if you don’t need it, does sound a bit greedy but then again, who am I to judge? < shrugs > Maybe they donate it to a women’s shelter or to salvation army stores ? Now that would be a great thing to do, if that is what folks do with it.

Yeah, I dunno what PJ does with all of his overage. I'd like to think that some good comes of it.

Read an interesting article on "extreme couponers" not too long ago. Gist of it was that it's just a manifestation of a "hoarding" mental disorder. Interviewed people who had entire rooms filled with toilet paper, etc etc etc. "But it was Free!!" is the excuse. Except that you can't enter rooms of their houses. :-)

I like to keep an extra bale of paper towels, or TP, or something - particularly if it's a consumable, and won't spoil. And, I'm not above stocking up when things are on sale. But thousands of rolls of Charmin? Not likely.

The local Harris Teeter that I shop at has "free" promotions, frequently. Typically, its a way to get people trying new stuff. Mrs WBill and I get the Free Offers, occasionally. And as often as not, we try the stuff and say "BLEAGH! We overpaid for it!"
