I am so bad at playing the CVS coupon game. Maybe I should give it a try some time.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, man, meara! What a lot of not-knowingness.
I cannot bring myself to try for coupons. Even ones I get handed to me for things I buy all the time I somehow manage not to use. I am kind of in awe of stuff like that. It's wizardry.
Our Meijer does a thing where if you spend $X in a certain category in 4 weeks, you get $Y off your next trip. Like, spend $500 overall in 4 weeks, get $10 off. Or, spend $50 on pet products, get $5 off. We actually rack up a lot of discounts that way.
I use coupons, but a lot of them are "buy more things than you want, get an irrelevant amount of savings on each."
My smartphone (which I still consider "new," since I got it in February after 15 years of a dumbphone) offers to autocorrect "shit" to "shitsnacks."
I AM NOT JOKING.
It's that Pam costume.
It's still raining, woohoo! Even better, I am home and do not have to go out again until tomorrow morning!

This. Is. Awesome.
The t9 on my dumb phone defaults to "cunt" and has to be changer to "aunt."
I figure it was programmed by a radical lesbian or a British punk.

The thing is? I'm 99% sure I've never typed "shitsnacks" on my phone. IT JUST KNOWS.
Some of them will talk about how their grandmother once told them that they had some secret Jewish ancestry.
From what I've gathered in the articles I've read, it's sounds like it's often more like that extreme right-wing antisemite guy in ... Romania? I think, who recently learned his mother was born into a Jewish family, but in the chaos of WWII and the Eastern Bloc, his grandmother kept them passing as goyim for safety, and that it had been a big family secret that no one talked about.
Note: right wing antisemite has now embraced his heritage and is observant.
