Double-Sided Coupon

Every month or so, I get this odd pamphlet of vouchers in the mail to be used at various local businesses. Disappointingly, this pamphlet is poorly designed such that they put all the interesting vouchers on each side of the same page, while always overlapping the vouchers on the other side. So when you go to cut one of them out, you inadvertently lose the other. It's so frustrating! I guess you could always get two copies of the same voucher page and -- wait, was that the solution this whole time?!

Choose and Lose

Recently, there's a supermarket I've been visiting on a semi-regular basis. Not because they sell items at affordable prices or have any particularly interesting stock, but because they put out free cheese samples in the afternoon. Unfortunately, their choice of cheese is sometimes questionable, leaving a bad taste in my mouth both literally and metaphorically. Or maybe it's because they leave it out for hours on end to develop that "extra aftertaste"? All the better to have premium end cheese at no extra cost, I suppose.

The Price is Not Right

Lightly inspired by all those times I'm browsing around in a shop, and the one thing that looks remotely interesting has its price tag missing. And then you go find out how much it really costs, and get immeasurably disappointed by how expensive it is.
That's why it helps to shop around, look for alternative options and compare prices. So next time your friends/family/people requiring social interaction suggest a place to buy a certain item, push 'em aside and point in the general direction of some obscure discount store that takes 45 minutes to get to, but sells the same product for half the price. Don't worry, your pals will thank you later... in a few years, if you're lucky.

Contraband

Back in action once again, after that marginally relaxing hiatus for the entirety of June. Interestingly enough, the total page views on this blog during that time actually surpassed some of the previous months, even though I literally didn't touch the blog for an entire month. So perhaps I should take more of these holidays...?
Whatever cryptic plans I've got up my sleeve, this week's comic is for all you boys out there in the airports, getting free stuff and then promptly realising that you can't bring it overseas anyway. I know the feeling, less so than the feeling of having to scull down two litres of freely acquired water in about 5 minutes.
