Coupon Fine Prints

Being a country leader in exile, I have very little resources.  Since none of you are paying taxes, the Hongkong government is not paying me any salary.  I live as frugal as I can just to get by.  Living costs are expensive here in Vancouver.  Therefore, coupon clipping is my daily routine to find bargain to lower my costs.

Last evening, this leaflet arrived at my mailbox.  It says "spend $10 and get $10 off".  Initially, I thought it meant buy $20 worth of grocery and get $10 discount.  Upon reading the cashier instruction, I realized it is $10 on the original bill to qualify.  For a savvy consumer, it means buy $11 and pay only $1.  Okay, I am just very cheap, okay!?  But the lesson here is to read the fine print, even when it is not meant for you!

Reproductions of this coupon is invalid.  I have it attached here so you guys won't throw it out as garbage/recycle.  It is GOLD!  Fine prints also say limited time offer, so spread the good news to your friends and relative, QUICK!
