Coupon Conspiracy

Mister is always forcing coupons down my throat. I'm the "just get in the car and go" type of mom. But I'm better considering the economic environment now.

But as I shop with my coupons, I'm amazed by their rules. For example, we like Lean Hot Pockets. So I'm shopping around with a coupon for them... one I have NOT read yet. I just see the picture and think, "Hey, we need those!"

I'm about ready to get the Hot Pockets, my cart is full to the brim and then some. I search for the coupon and I read it.

"Save $1.00"
When you buy 5.

Five??

1) Where will i put those in my cart??? I can barely slip a Birthday Card in it.
2) If, miraculously, I'm able to get it home, where will I put 5 in my small freezer?

The need to have a title on these coupons in LARGE PRINT:
"Audience: Those people who have a standalone freezer."

So now we have no hot pockets and their manufacturer does not have my money... They need to think about this. I mean, the placement in the store puts them at the end so for those of us with full carts... how the heck can I add Five???
