>> ^Payback: Some of us are gainfully employed and realize the amount of time she spends saving $267 we earn $500.
The median household income in the United Sates is ~$43k, which is ~$20/hr assuming 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. So... if she's an average American and she's spending fewer than ten hours a week clipping coupons, she's doin' pretty good for herself. And she gets to be around the kids while clipping.
Of course, the $267 is kind of an outlier (she said it was her record), but even if only the drugstore is more representative, if that took less than three hours of clipping for that one single visit, she's doing well.
