We don't have near as much "double coupon" going on here as we used to 
have. There is some, but not much of it. And often on specific makers or 
items. Still, if a store honours coupons there will be some denizen 
whose normal haunts include China-Mart (I know you've seen some of those 
e-mails with the piccies of "The People of China-Mart) with a file ... 
or more likely, a wad of coupons. Which s/he will shuffle through 
interminably.

If you've never experienced that - you are indeed fortunate.

hn> -> Popeye's coupons and they were "Good at  all Chicago-land Popeyes
hn> -> Chicken and Biscuits locations".  

hn> -> However, I found I had two iterations of the Red Plum pamphlet -

Popeyes I will visit without a coupon. Long John's and McDuck's - unless 
ordering from the dollar menu I only visit when there is a worthwhile 
coupon. Steak & Shake is good - but, I consider them too pricey on most 
items except chilli and chilli-mac to visit without a substantial 
coupon.
