How do you deal w/ people asking Q's while shopping?
I just finished putting my coupon binder together and was too excited to use it at my grocery store for the first time. I knew it was going to save a lot of time.
Well, guess again. I got stopped literally 6 times and asked about the binder. People didn't just ask, but wanted to hold conversations. I was proud and excited to talk about it the first couple of times, but when I noticed the time I was back where I started time wise before the binder. My question is how do you deal w/ this?

IT will save you more time than you realize in the long run. You could also try to shop at other times when the store is less busy if its possible

i love being ask, but i do shop really early in the morning so i dont get asked a lot of questions... if i am going to run in for one or two small things, i just grab my coupons out of the binder and put them in my pocket ( only if i am in a hurry)
I BELIEVE IN SANTA

I have a few responses ready to talk about my binder - these conversations typically only take a minute. If they go on longer, I smile politely, tell them I really need to "get back to saving" and push my cart away.
When people see your binder, it's like a lightbulb goes off in their head. Those interruptions will happen. Over and Over - but like schatz said - you will save a TON in the long run, and that is your #1 goal.

Thanks everyone. I like talking about it too, I get so excited, then I notice how long I've been talking to the person and I just want to say, "Hey, don't you see how much stuff I'm buying, that means I have kids I have to get back too!" LOL
Thanks guys.

I get these questions all the time at Walgreens. I just explain that I love to save money and than give them some coupons that I am not using that day. I have actually had a woman pick up my binder and go through it. LOL
