I bought groceries this morning. A few items like shredded cheese had little tags with them. Use a digital coupon and that product would cost about a third less. Fine. I don't have a smart phone gizmo so I will pay the higher price. I bought a couple packs of vegie burgers. Due to that purchase, the store gave me a coupon for money off ready made pizza crust. Fine and thank you. Truth: hubby makes a good enough pizza crust so that coupon is a waste of paper. We do use simple cell phones- when I remember to take it with me!

The coupon is only worth it if you like the product.

I don't do coupons. I do do comparison shopping, though.

@TheHorse I rarely do them either. I certainly don't go searching for them. One grocery store gives "members" with a card a better price on certain items each week. If you don't have a card they swipe one they have at the till, so everyone gets the "member" price anyway.

Why are neighbours in our caves in the dark ages! I have a mobile phone which I take with me (if I don't forget it) if I leave the house alone so that I can call my husband who has stayed at home in case something happens. I can't be called on it. Not that this isn't technically possible. I don't want to be called on it. People can call me on our landline phone when I'm at home.

@TheHorse I don't know my phone number, either! When I need more money on it, I take it to a shop, tell the people there to do it for me and *not to explain to me how it is done*. I don't need to know. Women smile at me and do what I ask them to do. Once a male shop-assistant said, "You're just like my grandmother!" I told him to give her my regards and to tell her that she was a wise and sensible woman.

@MALUSE A perfect respose. There are certain "modern" things I simply don't care to learn.

I am the same. I have a cell phone which I bring with me only when I have to meet someone somewhere. I can call out on it but tell people not to call me on it. I don't even know its phone number.

Our store offers some good discounts with digital coupons too. Usually I made my daughter go and get them for me as she's more adapt doing that than I am
