I have a confession. I'm a coupon clipper.
It's the only reason I'd ever buy a sunday paper.
I have an incredibly sweet and thoughtful friend who knows this about me and loves me anyways. The "loves me anyways" part is because I have an embarassingly full wallet with coupons that are crumpled up and bursting out the sides (half of which are expired, I might add).
Every week he swipes the coupons out of his dad's sunday paper so that I can clip coupons to save money. It saves me a dollar and a quarter every week!
Well, today I was clipping coupons and saw an add for some yummy looking beef so I cut it right out and added it to my growing stack of coupons. I then flipped the page, and then flipped another.
I suddenly felt a rush of panic and practically tore the pages trying to get back to the ad for the beef. And then I saw it. The brand: Alpo.
My stommach turned.
Did I really just cut out a coupon for DOG FOOD??
I came pretty close to vomiting all over my coupons at the thought of actually WANTING to eat what turned out to be dog food...
In my defense: 1) I do not own a dog and 2) Nowhere on the advertisement was there a) a picture of a dog b) the words "dog food" or c) a pet dish.. the beef was on a PEOPLE PLATE for goodness sakes!
That doesn't really change things does it? I still clipped a coupon for dog food. How embarassing.

See where coupon clipping will get you. It makes you want dog food. And no, there really is no excuse. :)
So, I'm a coupon clipper too, and I'm not going to lie, I love it. Sorry about that dog food though. Who feeds their pets on people plates anyways? No wonder you were confused! As a side note I ate a "beggin' strip" (the dog bacon) when I was five becasue I was curious. You're in good company my friend... i miss you!
