Consumers clipped again

After getting accustomed to the "new" packaging of items such as coffee, ice cream, tuna fish, etc., now coupon clipping is no longer a bargain.

Last week's coupons were now "buy three boxes of cereal, get $1 off, 10 cartons of yougurt $1 off." Very few coupons were for the purchase of one item.

Whatever happened to buy one, get one free? I guess too many of us were trying to cut down on the high cost of groceries. Ain't it great to be a senior citizen on a fixed income.
