Show 10 - The Daily Utah Chronicle Wednesday, January 20, 1998 bills into the money-savin- g equation, either. After all, what's a little rancor between loving lifematcs? Principle 7: DON'T factor other peoequaple's time into the money-savin- g tion. If you make an extra stop to use a 5oC-o- ff coupon and leave your spouse waiting in the car for 10 minutes, think of it (if you must) as you essentially making $3 per hour, not the two of you each making essentially $1.50 per hour. Principle 8: DO, when redeeming d coupons, always take care to combination in which they the optimize arc presented. For example, will you save more at Subway by using one coupon, or two coupons?

Principle 7), (b) use a fake name on your card application (they won't check), or (c) just get a new card every time you go to Smith's (cf. Principle 6). Principle 11: DONT ever tip. Service-sectemployees such as waiters and waitresses are plenty wealthy enough without you having to supplement their exorbitant incomes. Besides, chances are you'll never see them again.

I trust these methods will help couples everywhere restore the joy and romance in their lives. By carefully minimizing expenditures, you can fan the flames of passion. Cautious economizing is the spice that makes your love relationship fun and zesty.
