Dark side of couponing: Acashier speaks out Q: "I am a cashier in a grocery store and am writing to you about the dark side of coupon use. You don’t have a concept of the abuse we go through daily at the hands of our coupon-clip- ping customers. I am amazed at the number of people who feel it’s acceptable to make copies of Internet coupons and try to pass them off as legitimate. Clipping off an expired expiration date, then screaming at the cashier because she won’t take it is also unaccept- able. Tying up a checkout lane so you can buy 75 jars of spaghetti sauce with coupons is rude to other shoppers. Calling our corporate office because the cashier would not accept 30 of the same bread coupon, when each coupon states, ‘One per customer.’ Your phone call just put a single mother out of work, even though she was correct in not allowing you to use those coupons. "Jill, don’t you think you have a responsibility to teach people not to abuse couponing? Saving money becomes like a drug to some people. They will do any- thing for it." A: I’ve always strived to be one of the most ethical coupon teachers working today. I encourage honest, courteous and respectful use of coupons. Coupon shoppers can get fantastic deals at the supermarket without resorting to unethical behavior. In the years I’ve been blogging about coupon deals at jillcataldo.com, there has never been a single week without one hot coupon deal or another. The deals just keep coming, week after week. And I’m really not a "crazy coupon clipper." You won’t see me clearing shelves or tying up a checkout lane with a cartful of identi- cal items. I buy what I need for my family and I buy a little more to support my local food pantry. I’m proud to use coupons correctly, and I implore all of my stu- dents to do the same. It’s never right to Jill make a photocopy of any coupon. It is never correct to cut the expira- tion date off a coupon, hoping to use it after it’s expired. When the store tries to redeem photocopies or expired coupons, they’re unable to. Dishonest coupon shoppers are stealing. The misuse of coupons is a form of shoplifting; these shop- pers take groceries for which the store will never be reimbursed. I do not condone this behavior and I address the issue regularly. Couponing can be an addiction. Some shoppers feel it necessary to chase around town to multiple stores, getting every possible deal they can. Others obsess over store flyers leaked online weeks in Russell Nelson of Corning, a member of Red Bluff Moose Lodge No. 2002, Loyal Order of Moose, was summoned to receive the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of the fraternity, the Pilgrim Degree of Merit. The ceremony was held in the House of God at Mooseheart, Ill. on May 22. The degree, held by less than one-half of 1 percent of the roughly 800,000 men of the Loyal Order of Moose throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Bermuda, is the fraternity’s ultimate reward for excep- tional devotion to the principles and ideals of caring for children and seniors, and is generally earned only by members who have given years of above-the-call-of- duty service to the Loyal Order of Moose and its prin- ciple philanthropic endeavors of Mooseheart, a city for children in need, 40 miles west of Chicago, and Moose- haven, a retirement community for senior members, on the banks of the St. Johns River in Orange Park, Fla. The Pilgrim Degree ceremony, traditionally held on the same day as the Commencement Exercises for Official going on spud me. The head of the Washington state Potato Commission says he’s sick of people linking spuds to junk food. So, starting Friday, Chris Voight says he’s going to eat nothing for 60 days except potatoes. Twenty plain potatoes a day. And no cheating with cheese toppings or bacon bits. Voight says potatoes are rich in potassium, fiber and vitamin C and have plenty of protein.

Arrests Maximino Robles- Ruiz, 26, Corning, was arrested Wednesday morning on Flores Avenue on suspicion of using fake documents to conceal his citizenship and perjury. Bail was set at $35,000. Violence •A woman reported Cataldo Coupon Queen advance, ordering 50 or more iden- tical coupons from a clipping ser- vice after they spot a hot deal. Then, the day the deal hits, they’re at the store when it opens, buying, as you said, 75 jars of spaghetti sauce, because they have that many coupons and feel compelled to use every single one of them. These shoppers take things to the extreme, especially when they clear shelves and are rude to other shoppers in the process. Stores can and should reserve the right to limit quantities to shop- pers and part of a cashier’s job, of course, is to ensure that the coupons a shopper presents are valid. But a shopper who’s aggressive to a cashier and makes false reports to a corporate office is out of line, especially if someone loses a job over the issue. Next week, we’ll continue dis- cussing this topic, and I’ll share some warning signs that a shopper may be a little too obsessed with coupons. Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal. Learn more about couponing at www.supercouponing.com.

Moose bestows highest honor on local member Mooseheart High School, is conferred only inside Mooseheart’s House of God, the magnificent multi- denominational cathedral built in 1950. Members receiving the degree are entitled to wear a much-coveted gold blazer, which will be presented to the honoree during a special ceremony attended by other Pilgrims, members of the higher degrees of both the Loyal Order of Moose and Women of the Moose, family, friends, community leaders and other members of the order. Nelson received his blazer at Red Bluff Moose Lodge #2002 Sept. 25. Also present were leaders of the California Association to offer their congratulations to Brother Nelson. The Moose is an international organization of men and women, dedicated to caring for children and seniors, bringing communities closer together and cele- brating life.

(AP) — Just super- makes solar ride WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — A Purdue University student has transformed an old motorcycle into a solar-powered bike with a top speed of 45 mph. The university says in a statement that physics major Tony Danger Coiro (COY’-Roh) bought the 1978 Suzuki for $50 and spent $2,500 retrofitting it into a street-legal bike. Two solar pan- els mounted on either side of the bike charge its lead acid batteries, but they are also chargeable with a plug-in AC current. Coiro’s solar bike has a range of about 24 miles from each charge, and can go as fast as 45 mph. being attacked and choked Wednesday night on Mina Avenue. •A man was reportedly found with a bloody face and head Wednesday night on South Main Street.
