Jews love coupons. Not necessarily the coupon itself, but the savings that comes alone with it. Anyone who grew up in a Jewish household can tell you coupons were a big part of life. In many homes there was actually ‘coupon day’, where mom would sit around the table with the kids spending hours cutting out coupons. Now there might be some doubters that not all Jews did this, BUT even rich Jews realize the importance of .50 cents off 96 oz bottle of laundry detergent or $1 off a three pack of socks.

From a young age Jews realize the importance of a coupon. After a couple crappy gift filled holidays Jewish kids quickly learned if you really want something from mom or dad the best way to ensure you getting it was to have a coupon to go along with that request. Santa might get you whatever you want just by sitting on his lap and asking, but for Jewish kids there isn’t a Chanuka list that doesn’t have coupons stapled to the back. Eight days, eight coupons.

A lot of Jews keep coupons in their wallet and purses like cash. You never know when you might spot a 64 pack of root beer or a family size box of raisins. Whatever they’re for, usually something you don’t, nor would ever consider buying, they save you money and that my friend makes all the difference.
