To be perverse I don't like it when supermarkets fuss like that, with reminders you can go back across the shop to get things or printing special vouchers, as its all too much faff (Americans don't know the word faff, just the actions...) . I hardly ever use discount coupons either, and sigh when the person in front of me brings out a handful together with their chequebook. I do buy most food on a whim though, scanning for offers on the shelves. It does companies no good with their regular $3.50 pizzas at 4 for $10 offers though, as while I'm hooked, I only buy when discounted.

The reminders and coupons are better than the palaver in clothing stores, where you get offered a credit card with your new trousers. "Are you sure you don't want to get a discount of 15% on your purchases today?" "It only takes a minute to apply..."
