Ah... I was picturing the thin cotton sort, not the thick garden sort...
yeah, I suppose that the plastic ones would give you more flexibility
for sorting and all...

Clip to card does seem to be simpler... except, as you say, when
something doesn't work properly.... The Wegmans ones mostly work out ok,
but every so often I end up having to deal with the service desk to get
my money off... Next visit to BJ's will be the first with the digital
coupons... we'll see how well they work... :)

Sounds like a recipe for dizzy disaster....
