Wonderful story, Joel, and boy, can I relate to it! Thankfully, my coupon experience has been solved by Safeway, a store that helpfully provides a nice app that allows you to easily click on digital coupons and have them automatically recorded when you check out. (Of course, you still have to buy the products that have coupons associated with them, but they are marked on the store shelves for the most part.) As for distractions on the way to milk and bread (which marketers will tell you are intentionally put at the rear of the store), I make a valiant effort to keep blinders on -- but I admit it is difficult to resist those shiny items!
