I Was FIRST!
I was First Commenter on Sammy’s Teaser of 6/14/16. It's mine, mine, MINE... and nobody can ever take it from me!
Your internet expert on xxxxxxxxxxxl!
3,919 searches (and counting) can't be wrong! We are your destination on the Web when you want to search for the bizarre term of "xxxxxxxxxxxl"
Generosity. THAT was her big mistake! You try to do them a favor and look what happens? Tragedy. just freaking TRAGEDY!
I have yet to take a baseball bat to a Coupon Fairy, but I’ve probably thrown away a million dollars in expired and non-expired coupons they leave behind over my 19 years in retail. I say let no good deed go unpunished…
no good deed goes unpunished :o)
That’s the way I see it.
No good deed goes unpunished, as they say. Though I’l take a few of those chileh coupons. I’m sure Mecca brand chileh is far superior to my home made stuff.
Never get fooled into paying extra for a name brand. Besides, Mecca chileh has 50% more possum meat than its competitors…
While grocery shopping I occasionally see a coupon wedged in among some cans or jars, but I didn’t know the coupons were gifts from the Coupon Fairy. Yet another example of a gap in my education. I’ll respect the tradition more now that you’ve explained it to me. Always learning something here.
That would be where they come from. If the coupons are perfectly placed and still valid, they are gifts from the Coupon Fairy. If they are dumped in large random piles and expired, then they are droppings from the Coupon Troll. Both creatures hoard coupons from print and internet sources… the difference is the Coupon Fairy does so as seen above to pay forward savings that otherwise wouldn’t be used, while the Coupon Troll intends only to use their massive coupon bounty for themselves… purging their dead coupons as they sort through their enormous coupon archive while they shop. Both are nuisances to store employees who are charged with keeping areas clean, as piles of coupons slipped onto counters look like singles slipped into a stripper’s G string and must be removed…
I just realize I’ve made a lot of weird analogies here….
Well said. I think you’ve written an insightful blog post here in your comments. Weird analogies are delightful.
I was unaware of the existence of the Coupon Fairy! She’s none too bright if she thinks printing out a coupon can save any money. My printer can print out about three documents before its massively expensive ink cartridges run dry.
I hardly print anything on my printer anymore and the ink cartridge button is lit up on it. How many octopi need to die to print out a basket full of coupons? Apparently, too many…
Mine has been low on ink for awhile. Maybe if I put the empty ink cartridge under my pillow the Coupon Fairy will bring me a $10 off coupon for a new one….
Don’t stop with the weird analogies as mentioned above – I’m not the only one who likes your weird analogies! I’m glad to know that there is a coupon fairy though – I was devastated when I learned there was no tooth fairy so at least I have the coupon fairy to cling to!

Nobody likes a fairy who barters, the Coupon Fairy gives away her goodies for free. And you don’t even have to be good all year long like Santa requires…
Ouch. My mom used to accidentally drop coupons and send us kids all over the store to find them. She’d get so angry when someone would “steal” one of her coupons. So coupon fairy or not, I never take stray coupons.
Coupons are like gold to some people… I am waiting to hear tales of blood and violence over a coupon…
Sigh.
I don’t think we have a coupon fairy in the UK…
