Last week, we discussed the behavior of a small percentage of coupon users who become so deal hungry that they chase down every deal in sight. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that… I love the thrill of getting prod- ucts free with coupons!) But when coupon shoppers take things a little too far, pushing ethical and legal limits, it affects other people, from the cashier who tires of explaining why expired or photo- copied coupons cannot be used to the shopper who simply wanted to purchase one bottle of shampoo and found the shelf bare because anoth- er shopper bought all 20 bottles. How much is too much? Can couponing be an obsession? My answer? Absolutely! The rush of walking out of the super- market knowing you’ve saved $40, $50 or more with coupons is an experience many shoppers cannot wait to repeat. And, when a shop- ping trip involves deals in which many items are free, it can send coupon shoppers, new and seasoned alike, into a frenzy. How many coupons do I have for that? Should I order additional coupons before this hot sale ends? There are 15 bot- tles of salad dressing in stock today! Do I need all 15 since they’ll be free with my coupons? Do you find yourself mentally asking these questions? Don’t get me wrong, I love my coupons and bargains, too! But here are a few warning signs that it might be time to clip your coupon obsession before it gets out of control: o You’re out of control if… You feel com- pelled to chase every single coupon deal each week. Many coupon shoppers feel as if an awakening of sorts takes place once their eyes are opened to coupon shop- ping. Once they learn that using this coupon on that product during this week’s sale makes the item free, they quickly decide they must get every single item that’s free with a coupon, every single week. In areas with competing super- markets and drugstores, shoppers can find themselves trav- eling from store to store thinking, "I must get all these deals!" While there’s nothing wrong with chasing sales, consider the time, energy and fuel you spend. Free items aren’t so free when you must drive long distances, make frequent trips or give up significant amounts of time with family to acquire them. It’s fine to skip sales here and there if you have a stock- pile of identical products at home. I don’t chase deals because my time is important to me. I usually shop at one supermarket and one drugstore each week. I’m okay with letting other stores’ deals go in exchange for having more free time. • You’re out of control if… You clear shelves. Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen If your store has only two bottles of mustard left and you want to buy both, are you a shelf-clearer? No. But if there are 18 mustard bottles and you buy all 18, it’s like- ly that other shoppers (and your store) would consider this to be shelf-clearing. If you regularly buy large quantities of the same prod- uct during great sales, con- sider placing a special order for the number of items you’d like with the service counter at your store. These orders typical- ly take just a day or two to arrive at most stores. When your order comes in, pick it up, buy it with your coupons – and leave the store’s shelf stock for other shop- pers. • You’re out of control if… You resort to unethical behavior to achieve savings. If you misuse coupons in any way, such as cutting the expiration dates off or trying to use a coupon for one product on an unrelated item, you’ve definitely crossed the line.

Kids fly free at Young Eagles event The Corning Experi- mental Aircraft Association Chapter 1148, in conjunc- tion with the Redding EAA Chapter 157 and the 99s, a local women pilots organi- zation, are sponsoring a day when local pilots will fly kids ages 8 to 17 free of charge. The members of these organizations donate their aircraft and time to give kids the experience of flying in a General Aviation aircraft. The event will take place 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 16, at Red Bluff Air- port. To take a free flight, a young person must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and come to the airport terminal building at 1760 Airport Blvd. Once inside the terminal you will be directed to the sign-up hangar. Sign-ups for flights are 8:30-10 a.m. Please be prompt, flights are limited. In addition to the free flights in the aircraft, kids will be able to talk to pilots about their aircraft and learn how airplanes fly. Kids who get to fly will receive a Young Eagles Cer- tificate and have their photo taken with their pilot and airplane. The Corning EAA, Red- ding EAA and the 99's sponsor three Young Eagles events each year to give free flights and stimulate young people to become interested in flying as either a career or for recreation. Since the Young Eagles Program began, more than 1.5 mil- lion kids have received free airplane rides. For more information, call Barbara Crooker at 549-4275 or Barbara Boot at 824-5541.
