I find it just a little confusing and somewhat intimidating. My wife and I both look through the Sunday paper to see if there are any coupons that are of interest, BUT the bulk of the "savings" are not really savings since they are coupons for things we do not want and would never buy. As I look through your website and see thousands of ways I can "sign up," it leaves me worrying that I will end up automatically (unknowingly and unintentionally) "agreeing" to receive tons of emails that really end up being nothing more than more spam in my Inbox. I do not want to sign up to get any automatic anything, because I don't feel comfortable that by doing so I will not be signing up for a flood of "deals" on things I don't want and don't need. I looked on your website to see something that would perhaps better explain the process, and other than the "technical" explanation of how an RSS works, I can't find it. I see "deals" and coupons posted, but since I don't immediately know the prices of many of the listed items, I can't really tell whether the posted price is good or not so good. (Just because a price is "loudly" advertised, does not automatically make the price a good price. We find price differentials in many stores. That's why we shop more than just one store.) Anyway, I have bookmarked your website, and I will try to check it out, but when I click on a button to see printable coupons, and then I am taken to a page where I can't see anything unless I subscribe, I am not willing to blindly subscribe. Thank you. I saw you on tv the other night, and I thought I would check out your website. I find it just a little confusing and somewhat intimidating.
