So I finally compared clipping coupons from the Sunday paper to using that store app...

Last Sunday I spent like an hour cutting out coupons for my grocery run, just like my mom used to do. The next day, I scanned the same items in the store's app while I was in line. The app had digital coupons that saved me $12 more... and I didn't get newsprint all over my hands. Has anyone else completely switched over to the digital stuff, or do you still find good deals in the paper?

Remember my friend's coupon binder explosion?

My grandma's coupons are basically vintage art at this point.

Noticed the same shift with my dad's toolbox. He had a huge metal case full of specific wrenches, but now I just use one adjustable wrench from an app-based rental service. Feels like we're trading physical collections for single digital tools that do it all, even if we lose some of the charm.
