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?"
