I know this is going to sound crazy, but if I have a TON of coupons and know my order might take some time, I always do try to look nice - have my makeup done and at least a shirt on that doesn't have baby snot all over it. I think it does help for some reason. And I always smile, smile, smile, and I have definitely given coupons to others who were in line with me before. Whatever it takes! no one's gonna stop me from saving money! That is very interesting!

I have NO problems using coupons... as a matter of fact, last night I went to LOWE'S FOODS (they had TRIPLE COUPONS TO .99)!!!!, and I actually told people behind me in line that they may want to consider moving to another checkout because my order was going to take a while. Only one person moved. The other 3 stayed and watched with amazement while I got 114.13 worth of groceries for 23.12. To me, THAT'S 15 minutes well spent in line. If you don't want to deal with people's flawed perceptions of you, take initiative... strike up a conversation.... give THEM a coupon you may have for something that you notice is in thier cart.... this has ALWAYS worked for me. Saving money is contagious... help people to learn through your actions... you will feel good about it, and will have done a good deed in the meantime! Seriously.

Good thing my dd is super cute...wouldnt want ppl to think she was cheap was she was in line with me. I will admit to changing lines when someone has coupons in front of me but it's not for fear of appearing cheap. It's because cashiers are typically very slowwwww when doing someones coupons and that wastes my time! LOL This was too funny!
