Apparently my neighbors don’t share the same enthusiasm for frugality as I do. Which is a good thing for me. Why, you ask?
Bed, Bath, and Beyond periodically sends out these wonderful coupons for discounts at their store. Whenever I receive these coupons in the mail, I treasure them and hoard them off to my lair.
My neighbors on the other hand, despise these coupons, and toss them away in the trash next to the mailboxes. So what do I do?
I sift through the piles of mail, newspapers, and ads until I collect them all. So for me, it’s like opening up my mail and being overwhelmed with Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons. Sweetdiggitydiggums!

FYI: I will tell you only because you are many states away from me, so not my competition! LOL BUT, I hoard these and if I don’t end up doing a BBB trip for a few months, I sell a LOT of them together on Ebay and usually make between $4-12! Extra money for me! So, don’t recycle or pitch them when you are done and have them left, ebay them, or even craigslist! BBB is known for taking their own coupons even if they have expired, so I literally have about 30 of these stacked in my file at home to keep an eye out on ebay when they are a hot item and sell a lot of them!
Last resort is Freecycle to share with my other eco-budget-aware friends!

Yeah, in my experiences the expiration date doesn’t even matter. Thanks for the tip, I will be selling these on ebay, and hopefully not at the same time as you so we can rake in more money for our frugal selves.
