Yes, but I don't use them as much as I did when I shopped at the
commissary. I used a lot of commissary specific ones then, now a lot of
what I usually buy doesn't have coupons. Then too, we don't have to tip
the baggers or pay a surcharge. Rumors are, that will be raised to
something like 10%; I don't think that'll fly however.

T'is a shame, kids need to learn a lot of the basics classes like those
taught. Do they still have shop?

Downright tasty, both ways.

That, and making sure we grab hot pads.

I know, sigh!

I know, we're supposed to get about that hot as well. Humidity is going
up also, not a good thing. We (just) hit 80 yesterday; today was a
couple of degrees warmer. Still not bad, but I don't like upper 80s (and
higher), with higher humidity.
