After watching these shows on TV where women save hundreds of dollars by using coupons, I realize I am coupon retarded.
Below is the letter I mailed to Dentyne Gum....
Dear Dentyne Customer Service,
Awhile back I called you because product I had purchased (still good and not past it’s expiry date) was bad. It was wet. We’d never had such an experience with your gum.
I called to tell you about our bad product. You were so kind and sent me coupons for free replacement product.
Unlike all those coupons lovers I admire on TV, saving hundreds each shopping trip. Coupons and I do not get along. I forget I have them, or I bring them and forget to pull them out, or my purse eats them.
Yet, grateful you sent me coupons for replacing the product, I should have marched to the store and redeemed them. But I'm a mom of three (four if you count the husband) and when I got the coupons, they went into my purse (things get lost in there) and then they went on a shelf so I could ‘SEE’ and remember to ‘use’ them. And then they went back in my purse…till I went to use them this very last week and after pulling them out, thrilled that not only did I remember to bring them, but I remembered to present them to the cashier! I was so proud!
Till she said, “These expired last week…”
What? Really? How does that happen? Is this candid camera?
I’ve enclosed the three coupons you sent me to please help me:
1) Replace the coupons for me? And I’ll do the “march to the store, do not pass go” thing.
2) Never write you again.
Ok....I mailed it off today....let's see what happens....?

Ha--I must have the same bad coupon gene as you do... I just age them. They go in the wallet and they stay there till they're old enough (expired) and then I throw them away.
