Dog Food Coupons
With the recent economic downturn,
I finally decided to stop turning down all of the coupons I find online
and in the morning paper. Even though I haven’t lost my job,
yet, I decided to save every penny wherever I can to make sure I can
put enough away in savings in case I do. So whenever I see the
morning paper or find one of those online advertisements for dog food
coupons, I cut them out and put them in a bag stashed in the glove compartment
of my ’04 Impala. I now keep a wad of dog food coupons in my
car, sandwiched between all of the other grocery item coupons.
When I go to the local grocery store, I pull out the dog food coupons
before flipping through the rest of the coupons I might use that day.
Henry’s a yellow lab, and
he goes through dog food like you wouldn’t believe. So every
time I make a run to the grocery store, I double check my dog food coupons
to make sure they haven’t expired; I reassure myself I have the best
ones and enough of them to buy what I need at the grocery store.
Whenever I revisit the local
grocery store, the girls at the register know to expect a handful of
coupons, now. I’ve only converted over to using coupons on a
regular basis about three months ago. Apparently that’s long
enough for word to spread like wildfire among the employees at Smith’s.
When I approach the registers and hand over my dog food coupons, sometimes
I notice a smirk on their lips. Perhaps they find it amusing that
I consistently bring in dog food coupons with my daily purchase.
I can’t really imagine why they might get a kick out of this habit
of mine, but they’ve found some reason to laugh about it.
Either way, I couldn’t care
less what the high school teeny boppers might say about me behind my
back. I need to save some money, so the use of coupons only makes
sense. Taking the time to give a little more value to each dollar
will catch up to me in the future when I’m living large and those
girls are just learning what it means to budget their income.
In these harsh economic conditions we’re living in, I don’t feel
bad about saving every penny and conserving what I can to put myself
in a better position to withstand the storm when it breaks.
Purina Dog Food Coupon
Henry and I returned to our
favorite spots in front of the computer screen and began to surf for
other highly recommended brands of dog food, along with their coupon
counterpart. To the right of the screen was an ad containing Purina
Coupons. I clicked on the link and followed the directions until
I located those Purina Coupons and printed them out. Purina it
is! With the new Purina Coupons in my pocket, Henry and I took
a drive to the store. He had to stay in the car, of course, so
I left the windows rolled down so he could at least stick his head out
of the window. He wasn’t full grown, yet, so he couldn’t quite
reach the crack in the window, but that didn’t stop him from trying,
over and over again. I had to stop and laugh as he jumped up and
down trying to reach the opening in the passenger seat window.
He noticed me laughing and barked his complaints, trying to lure me
back with those puppy dog eyes. It almost worked, but I quickly
realized I would only get in trouble if I were to enter the store with
a dog. So with the Purina Coupons in my hand, I power walked right
to the dog food aisle.
Without even breaking my stride,
I spotted the Purina, grabbed a smaller bag of dog food and marched
to the registers with my Purina Coupons. I handed them the Purina
dog food coupons, mentioned my credit line to them and left the store
without any problems. Henry was happy to see me walking towards
the car, and began to jump up and down again. I unlocked and open
the back seat door to toss the dog food in, jumped in the driver’s
seat, and took off for home.
As soon as I walked into the
kitchen, I tore off the top corner of the dog food, poured Henry a bowl
and stashed the remainder of the bag in the pantry. Let’s see
if third time’s the charm. I returned to the computer to make
sure we could access more Purina Coupons if we needed to, found a few
spots online and put it out of my mind. I had to get back to work,
so that was enough dog food business for one day. We’ll check
back with Henry in a week or two to see if he’s still eating the new
Purina brand.
Some real coupons!

Pedigree Dog Food Coupon
When Henry, my yellow lab,
first entered our lives, we didn’t quite know what to feed him.
So we looked through the various different brands to see which one we’d
start with. After perusing through the morning paper’s coupon
section, we found some Pedigree coupons. Good enough for me!
We cut out the Pedigree coupons and headed to the local store to buy
the first bag of dog food. Henry sniffed the food and ate most
of what we put in the dish. So far, it all seemed pretty simple
and straight forward. We searched for more Pedigree coupons the
next day, brought those Pedigree dog food coupons with us to the store
and bought enough dog food to last a year. We just stashed it
in the food storage room and figured we wouldn’t have to worry about
buying dog food for a while.
After a few weeks, we noticed
Henry didn’t eat all of his dog food. I wondered if he might
be sick and took him to the vet. They gave him a clean bill of
health and sent us on our way. Before we left, they recommended
trying out a few different types of dog food to see which one he likes
the best. I thought the vet was crazy! Why would the dog
care which kind of dog food he eats? Part of me wanted to simply
force Henry to continue eating the dog food we purchased with those
Pedigree Coupons. We found hundreds of those Pedigree Coupons
and spent a lot of money on a year’s supply of dog food. Since
they were unopened bags, perhaps we could take them back, but the hassle
of carrying all of those bags back into the car and unloading them at
the store exhausted me just from thinking about it.
After a few more days of looking
at a half eaten bowl of dog food, I decided I preferred a healthy and
strong canine companion over one that didn’t grow to its full size
of exert the normal level of dog energy simply because it didn’t really
like the food I gave it. If I were the dog, I’d probably want
to eat something else, too. So I hauled and loaded all of the
bags of dog food into my car and drove back to Smith’s to see if they’d
return them or exchange them for a different brand. Fortunately,
they accepted all of the bags of unopened dog food and gave me enough
credit to use on other brands for the remainder of the year. What
a relief! Let the dog food testing begin!
