COUPON CLIPPING SERVICES
Can you buy coupons? No, that’s illegal. Can you pay for the services of coupons to be clipped to get coupons? Yes. These services get around the rule that way. Getting coupons from coupon clipping services is how many of the folks on Extreme Couponing get their coupons. They don’t show you that the folks had to pay these services for the coupons.
I’ve never used the service myself as I get enough from the newspapers I purchase and from those who save them for me. If I need extra sets of coupons I can get extra papers on Mondays where they sell the Sunday paper cheaper. Usually $1.25 instead of $2. You can find these deals at Giant Eagle, CVS, Discount Drug Mart and many other stores. The Sun Newspaper is 75 cents or less at stores that discount their paper and it usually contains the same set of coupons you get in the PD.
Many people ask me if they can just buy the inserts from the newspaper. You can’t purchase just inserts from newspapers as it’s illegal for any inserts not distributed in newspapers to be taken, given away or donated. Odd rule, but apparently the Coupon Police think it will lead to trouble.
There are many coupon-clipping service sites. They usually charge depending on how many coupons are ordered. For instance, they may charge $1 for twenty 50 cent coupons. There may be a small administrative fee and a minimum order amount plus postage. The service is great for those that don’t have many coupons in their papers, if any at all. They usually give clearance deals on coupons that are soon to expire.
Here are some sites with the service:

TRADER JOES
Trader Joe’s grew to fame when they started selling Two Buck Chuck,. It was Charles Shaw wine that cost $2 a whole bottle and it was decent. It’s now over $3 and still a bargain.

CHECKS AND BALANCES
Did you ever have a class where a substitute teacher showed up and the class just acted like a bunch of lunatics. Of course, we all did. The kids knew they can usually get away with more so they act up. I liken it to loose regulations. When the principal or a regular teacher showed up the kids started acting like they should – nice and quiet. I liken that to effective regulations or checks and balances if you will.
When businesses or any other outfit sees an opening to get what they want by loosened regulations they fight for it. Usually it’s because they can make more money, greed in many cases, because sometimes it’s at the peril of something that matters little to them but a lot to others whether it be health, environment, livelihood or whatever.
Another case in point is the banking industry. I don’t have to explain much there as they took advantage of loose regulations. Even natural gas fracking has posed health risks to water supplies to the point water in homes where there is fracking catches fire if lit (check out the movie Gasland – http://www.gaslandthemovie.com), but these companies are downplaying the issues. Umm, water on fire…not good. Why is it that some think it is ok to sacrifice our health so that a company can make profits? Greed before health!? Priorities are mixed up if that is the case.
But lately there has been one that has to do with teachers. Some investigations have discovered that teachers and principals created an environment of cheating on standardized tests. They would erase the incorrect answers and write in the correct ones. One principal even opened an ethics investigation on a whistleblower. What in the banana peppers was that principal thinking. Wouldn’t it been nice to have the mess from Dimora and Russo cleaned up much sooner had whistleblowers raised the red flag sooner. Even the whistlblowers from Enron were castigated. Cheats don’t like whistleblowers.
What would teachers have to gain by helping kids get better scores, albeit serupticiously? Bonuses. Higher test scores mean teachers and administration get bonuses and some get to keep their jobs.
So what does regulation or checks and balances have to do with this too? Turns out they resisted the need to have some type of independent examination. A total of 178 teachers and principals were named in the investigation with 82 of whom confessed. They aren’t the only district with these issues. It’s no wonder many schools have issues when these are some of the kinds of teachers and administrators that are being employed. All the cutbacks in funding will only make things worse in our schools.
Checks and balances work best. By eroding them over time there is a good chance someone will take advantage of it and do what’s good for them and only them. If you don’t believe me, try giving your teens the keys to the liquor cabinet and leave the home for the week and let them police themselves. Just like at home where a good structure works best, so does it in the everyday world. Spouses and good friends are also good regulators as they will usually tell you when you are doing something stupid. So is the good angel on your left shoulder. The right shoulder devil not so much.

PERFORMANCE BIKE
We went on a bike ride from Willoughby Hills to Chagrin Falls and then Bainbridge over the 4th weekend. It was about 40 miles round-trip. Very scenic ride as we rode along the river and country-like roads, but the hills can be a bear. I was going tricycle speed up some of the hills they were so steep. Going down them was fun. I think if I let off the brake going down I would’ve launched and landed back in my yard. I could sense my legs were getting so muscled out that my pants were starting to rip apart just like the Hulk’s. Maybe next time I’ll ride a Big Wheel instead to see if it is any easier.
Performance Bike is a store that has all your bike needs and they usually are having a sale of some sort. Locally you can find them at Eastgate and Rocky River. They’re in many cities across the U.S.
