If i clipped coupons i would definitely do this.[More:] To sum it up: clip coupons, wait four weeks. By then the items are on sale and so you can get them for almost nothing.

And now for the whimsical extravagances of Bibi's Box: from Ohio cartoonists to finely crafted wooden robots.

Wow--the wooden robots stun me. What a fantastic combination of workmanship and concept!

Those are both very cool. The robots are definitely good craftsmanship.

As to clipping coupons, they're almost always for prepared foods which I never eat.

Same for me, eekacat. I love saving money and am quite the little skinflint. But when I page through a coupon flyer, almost none of the products are for things I use or eat - brand-name processed food, brand-name toxic cleaning stuff.

The ones I do find and clip are for: cat food and cat litter, toothpaste, contact lens juice, tomato sauce, stonyfield yogurt, cheese, and Kashi products. I'm insane for Kashi, I love Kashi. Also, near Christmastime, there are coupons for actual ingredients like butter, flour, sugar, and nuts. Those are good to grab.

That's one of the reasons i don't, but it's still a great idea for canny shoppers, as some brands are better quality and then dip to generic price or better this way.
Ice cream should never be bought generic and i have a bunch of premade pie crusts i got on seasonal sale that i have to use now. If i had a bigger freezer i could be so much better at this. But then if i lived where i could get ingredients i want and like--

The robots are very fairly priced, in my opinion. And Bibi's Box has got to win the voting, don't you think?
