JC PayMe

No dog will ever clip a coupon to save 15 cents or $10.  They are not good with scissors and complain like Ron Paul begging to be heard at a debate that its a design flaw over the opposable thumb.  Coupons have value.  There are shows demonstrating this where people buy $390 worth of pasta and toothpaste for 67 cents.  That's taking advantage of a situation, but the practical implications are far-fetched as pasta with toothpaste consumption taste good for just one minute, if that.  Case study of JC Penney weekend spend $25 get $10 off no exceptions is a game worth playing.  So for $105 the following purchases were made:  3 pairs of Dockers; 4 St John's Bay long-sleeve polo-type shirts; 2 packs of women's socks 4 per pack.  Trick was to make 5 separate purchases and after the first two realize that using the coupon over-and-over again was like feeding dogs treats, they will take them non-stop without discretion.  For one day, since it would have been $50 more without the coupon strategy, it was re-named JC PayMe.
