Coupon Fairy

Here's something Darron and I like to do:

Next time you go to a restaurant with coupons, take along the inevitable second coupon that you won't use in the next three days before its expiration date. Scan the room, and find a nice couple, the lone diner, a cute family. Then give them the coupon. It's always smiles all around.

The other night we picked a little family of a dad and his three kids. As they left, the teenage boy jubilantly said, "thank you for the dessert!" while the little kindergartener just smirked sheepishly and looked around nervously as his dad told him to "say thank you!" It was cute.

I was in Bed, Bath & Beyond the other day waiting in line to check out and a woman came up to me with a $20 off coupon for any purchase that totaled more than $40. She told me the expiration date was 01/31/09 but that BB&B would still honor the coupon. I thanked her, checked out and saved $20. I'm going to start doing the same thing with coupons I won't be able to use!
