A store here had a "buy one get one free" dealie on Eight 'O Clock coffee, I
had a coupla one-buck-off-of-two coupons from the Sunday paper, plus which
I'd written them after _Consumer Reports_ rated their java the best several
months ago and they sent me coupons for two free bags (12 - 16 oz.). I got
like four bags of coffee, all free except for tax...not a huge deal (the
regular price was like six buck per bag) but hey you gotta luv it...they are
going into mom's Mothers' Day gift package.
