Tonight on the 9 o’clock news, Fox 13 did a story on the Coupon Event going on at Smith’s. I love that coupons made it to the first story of the night! But Sean was almost rolling on the floor laughing at how bugged I was. Did anyone else see the story and know why I was cringing the entire story?
They kept saying “Q”pons instead of pronouncing it coupons. Even some of the shoppers they interviewed were pronouncing it like that. There was only ONE that called it by it’s proper name!
You can go here to watch the video of the news story (there’s a short 20 second commercial before the clip, and it makes my heart break everytime I see it)
Am I crazy or did it bug anyone else?
~Get your thrift on!
