A dollar off coupon on a $1 item?


Using Coupons at The Dollar Tree


by Dawn Summerson


 

Coupons and The Dollar Tree don't sound like they go together, but The Dollar Tree has been accepting coupons for years! However, other than myself, I rarely see anyone use them. So I randomly picked ten women (women because 58.7% of people who coupon are female) in the store to ask if they ever used coupons. Nine out of the ten women said they had used coupons, but when asked if they had ever used coupons at The Dollar Tree, all of the women said no. Again all ten women told me they did not know that The Dollar Tree accepted coupons.  Learn more here:  http://www.stretcher.com/stories/15/15jul27b.cfm?fi

A few things every human should know…

MEMORIZED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

 Memorized knowledge and skills . If physical books are a back-up to digital copies, memorized knowledge is a back-up to your books. Having something like a survival Kindle to fill in the gaps is a great idea, but strive to memorize as much practical and life-saving information as you can. Do you know how many cups are in a gallon without googling it? (The answer is 16.) To download handy info into your brain, practice your emergency skills on a regular basis and always have a copy of the classic Pocket Ref to thumb through while on the john.

ONE. EMERGENCY FUND. Kids end up in the emergency room; your car goes kaput in the middle of New Mexico; you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. We’ve all experienced these setbacks and their accompanying bills. Many people don’t plan for emergencies in their monthly budget, so when the poop hits the fan, they’re forced to take on expensive credit card debt. An emergency fund is insurance for you and your family -- an antifragility must for every man.

TWO. ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF CURRENCY.   If the crap really did hit the fan, our regular currency would become worthless. That’s why it can be a good idea to have an alternative form on hand -- some gold perhaps, or that universal medium of exchange, cartons of cigarettes or booze.

THREE. GET AN ANALOG WATCH.  Many men have given up on wearing watches, as they use their smartphone to check the time. But a phone battery can die, torpedoing your punctuality. Plus, an analog watch can double as a compass, should you become lost in the woods.

 

How much cash do you have at home?" I once asked a friend who is an extremely smart investor and businessman.

(The question wasn't too personal… He's a good friend and we talk about money. I had dinner with him at his home earlier this month.)

"I keep six figures at home," he replied.

"Wow!" I said. "That sounds a bit extreme."

"Is it?" he asked. "How much are you earning in interest in the bank?"
