As if fires, the budget crisis, gas for $4.79/gallon, and Paris Hilton were not enough, now Southern Californians are losing their last great asset: DOUBLE COUPONS
Here is the scoop from the LA Times:
“On Wednesday, the Los Angeles-based chain is expected to eliminate bonus valuations on coupons for $1 or more and will only double the value of coupons for 50 cents or less.

Thanks, Mom, for the heads up on this article.
On a positive note, here is what the founder of the Grocery Game has to say about this:
“Teri Gault, chief executive of Santa Clarita-based website TheGroceryGame.com, believes that consumers can still save on groceries if they play their coupons right. Her website, created in 2000, helps shoppers strategize according to grocery store pricing and coupon publication dates.
‘You just need to know how to play the game,’ Gault said. ‘Your coupons are like your playing cards, and you need to know when to stockpile.'”
I couldn’t agree more, Teri!
