[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 430960, member: 1233"] Marg, very few people in the US do that for their lenses now. It used to be common but many people were very careless with how they cleaned the lenses and the saline containers and serious eye infections were the result. Most docs will not even give you directions to do that and will warn you if you bring it up. I know quite a few people who did that back in the 80s and now they cannot wear contacts and ahve some nasty eye problems from the infections. One cousin has scars that will likely blind him in a few more eyars with the way they keep getting worse because he refused to stop wearing contacts. It is a cheap thing to do but can be very risky also. You, I am sure, are careful enough to handle this but many people just are not. As for the coupon show, I haven't seen it. it doesn't sound like something I want to see, just because I don't like anything that promotes rudeness or bad values. Saving is good but this just pushes it into really bad territory. Esp taking papers from foreclosed homes, etc.... Where is the shame in this world when people are PROUD of doing that? If you must have a getaway driver then you should NOT do it. I know years ago the cops told my friend's mom that if she did it again she was going to court for stealing the inserts from neighbors' papers. I think people like this are why our smaller stores, the ones that do double coupons, do not take internet coupons. If you print it at home they will NOT take it. The chain does, but the local store mgmt will NOT. Period. Calling the main office gets lower mgrs that say they should and a President that says that it has been too abused and soon the entire chain may not. I have long had people look at me with that look when I have coupons. Also when I get in line in walmart with my other store ads. Mostly now I don't have to show each item, but some cashiers still make you show them each item. And call the mgr to get approval to give you the ad price on another store brand on the walmart store brand. Mostly I don't do too much of the couponing because we don't use a lot of the products taht they make coupons for. But I may change and at least do the walgreens ad soon. [/QUOTE]
