It is no secret to my readers or to old time bloggers whose blogs are a daily read for me that I enjoy a good bargain and if it involves clipping coupons…well I will clip those too!
For a good while now I have been wondering why I have never seen any beer coupons in all the years that I have been clipping them (which are considerable). I do not smoke but I remember clipping coupons for my friends who do for two or three dollars off of a carton of cigarettes.
I try not to be judgmental but if I had to choose the lesser of two evils I think I would rather drink beer, but then again that is only my opinion and has no bearing on what other people do with their lives…that is not the purpose of this post or any past or future post.
What I want to know is why I have never seen any beer coupons? Anyone have an idea? I bring this up because as you know Labor Day weekend is right around the corner and it is the last holiday before the Chili Cook-off when typically beer goes on special and I tend to stack up specifically for this event.
These past couple of years beer prices have been through the roof and even after the barley shortage of a couple of years back, they have never gone back down in prices. Instead they have tried to fool us by bringing out 18 and 20 can packages for what we used to pay for a 24 pack…I don’t like that!!!
I guess greedy beer companies know that us beer drinkers are going to pay for their product anyway so they make no effort to bring prices down and instead offer innovations like the mountains in a particular beer brand turning blue so the consumer knows that it is cold! Excuse me…but has that ever been a problem that a beer drinker even a very drunk one is not going to be able to tell if their beer is cold enough?
Tip to first time Terlingua Chili Cook-off goers…buy your beer this Labor Day weekend holiday when it is on special…beer prices in the desert will sober you up real fast, it is bad enough what you will have to pay to ice it down!
