what these sorts of schemes ignore is how much time it takes to clip, sort and strategize. how much is an hour of your time worth? if it's more than what you'd save by doing the extra work then to me the savings aren't really worth it (shortened version: opportunity cost matters).

- noodle 16y agofalse dichotomy. it is not necessarily going to the be the case that you'll be busy making money if you weren't busy clipping coupons.
- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoYou don't have to be making money for your time to be worth something. I'm home from work right now. If an hour spent clipping coupons takes away from "recreational" time spent coding for fun or in my machine shop puttering around, it's not worth it. The leisure time is worth more to me than the money the coupons would save.
- noodle 16y agoagain, i feel this is a false dichotomy. it doesn't always come down to making the choice of spending an hour clipping coupons or doing something you enjoy. sometimes you have idle time and have the choice between spending 10 minutes to clip some coupons while watching tv, or doing nothing.
