You've seen the type. She
walks slowly through the
grocery store and as she
stops to pick up an item,
quickly flips through about
60 coupons to see if she has
one for that particular item.
If she doesn't have a coupon,
then unless it's absolutely
necessary that she purchase
that item, then she puts it
back on the shelf.
The coupon-saver shops to
save money and name
brands mean nothing. If she
has a coupon for an item, she
buys it. And, sometimes if
she has a coupon offering an
excellent deal on an item she
doesn't need, that doesn't
matter, she still buys it.
EVERY SUNDAY she

out coupons.
She has a file and keeps
each and every coupon
neatly tucked away. When
she goes to the store, she
picks up extra coupons in the
box near the entrance but
she leaves none. She hoardes.
And we walk behind her
in the store and laugh to
ourselves about how silly she
looks.
WE MAY not all be that
much of a fanatic, but we
too, have become addicted to
the world of coupons.
According to one student,
her roommate won't let her

unless she brings at least 5
Gamecocks home. "No
coupons, no supper," she
says.
Recently the Gamecock
carried a coupon for free
coffee. If you took the coupon
tn thp Pnmnns Ronkstnrp
then you would receive a
free sample of various
General Food coffees.
Within an hour after the first
few Gamecocks were
distributed, students were
standing in line for their
'free coffee.' "I don't like
coffee," admitted one
student, "but the deal is too
good to pass up."
ANOTHER STUDENTsaid,
"I looked through
about six copies of the
Gamecock so I could get a
coupon for the coffee and

had cut out the coupon."
If it's free, take it. If it's a
good discount, use it. That's
the rule most students at

nave oegun iu live vy.
In fact, some students
admit they never read the
Gamecock. They simply
pick up a copy so they can
cut out all the coupons. Some
students plan their weekly
meals around the specials
that are often offered.
IT'S AN addiction that we
can't seem to break away
from and even though we
often laugh at ourselves,
deep down we know we're
the smart ones because
we're saving money.
According to one graduate
student, he earns six extra
meals a week by using the
coupons in the paper.

"I've got pizza coming out

Hollister, a freshman, "but
those coupons are unbeatable.
I just have to take
advantage of them."

with students buying textbooks
and supplies. It never
fails, even the spiral
notebooks you buy contain
coupons on the first page.
When you get home and
take everything out of the
bag, coupons for magazines
are always in the bottom of
the bag.

coupons," Kyser said.
Campus ads for
restaurants are just as
valuable. It's not unusual to
see students sitting in the
corner of a restaurant
counting pennies. But then,
just as they are about to give
up hope, one slips out and
returns shortly with a
coupon. Saved every time!
THEN THERE are always
the closet 'coupon-savers.'
They tell you there's an
interesting article in the
paper so they grab about 15
Gamecocks. But once they
get home, they get out a pair
of scissors and start cutting
out coupons. They probably
keep a small file in their
underwear drawer where
they neatly put all their
coupons.
