Kroger actually sends out coupons including a few 100% free items as an enticement to get you into the store if you fill out your correct address on those.

They do, and actually they tend to send me coupons on stuff I buy anyway, so it’s giant plus for me.

I see AB still hasn’t answered what scary thing is awaiting us for taking surveys.

Check your P.M. I sent you some scanned Dillons’ coupons for foil and for a Dillons’ hat.

Yes you are. Comparing getting 50 cents a gallon off gas (by shopping at a store I would patronize whether I got coupons for or not) to playing in the lanes of a freeway is paranoid.

Please explain how I have a bill coming in the future. Be specific.  
Please explain the scope of the problem, again be specific.
