The coupon book came in the mail

It has sprung spring, and with the wonder of creation blooming again we rejoice at the seasonal arrival of the coupon book. What riches will the coupon book bring, what pleasures, what sensations of touching, drinking and tasting a hot wax 25% off?

The spring coupon book presently holds my 'or current occupant' household in thrall. My beloved and I adore the coupon book. In fact, we use it to test the strength of our relationship. Every time the coupon book comes (4 times a year) we will look at it by ourselves. Without showing the other we write down our top three coupons we most want to use. We then compare our lists to make sure we are still together mentally as a couple. Glad to say, the spring coupon book reveals we are in 'couponious' sync.

The skilled coupon book user knows how the game is played. The coupon books arrives all shiny and happy and gay, but under its cover it contains real business propositions. Which coupons do you use is the question. Not all are the same. Terms get bandied about blusteringly. Things like: half off second entrée of lower or equal value and automotive lubricant of your choice free with VIP service package. Confused? The following tips will help you discern 'coupon' from 'poop on.'

First discern whether the offer includes a discounted 'fondue smörgåsbord with complimentary wine.' That is a valuable coupon right there, secure in safe place immediately. Also, if the coupon provides a free use of chemical solvents, this is a good deal. Things like hair coloring, carpet cleaning and three insecticides for the price of one. Avoid coupons that promise beauty, glamor or exotic skills such as the ability to kill somebody with a pinky or how to knit. Coupons were invented to provide working families with basic amenities at value prices during off peak hours only. Coupons add value to life when they whiten the top teeth free or provide 3 Schwarzenegger movies for the price of 2.

What a lot of people do not know is that a coupon book is also a code book. If you read a coupon book thoroughly you will learn things about your world heretofore shrouded in mystery. You will gain insights into universal human traits like vanity, spirituality and what those annoying neighbors are listing their house for. The coupon book is also a local history that speaks of Italian immigration, chronic back pain and a recent invasion of fancy shoe wearing ladies.

A coupon book makes for great entertainment as it does savings. I like to bring the coupon book to the bathroom and to bed with me. I find I can cozy up for hours with the wannabe upscale menus, the many benefits of corrective eye surgery and remembering again what is included in a "deluxe pet beauty and emotional health diagnostic service." (hint: prescriptions are available.)
