I tell them you're probably spending more money. You're certainly burning up more gas, adding wear and tear on your car, it's not time efficient for sure and unless those coupons are triple or better you're really not saving money. <br /><br /><a href="http://travelingsuitcase.blogspot.com/2014/04/viu-bicing-vodafone-in-barcelona.html" rel="nofollow">Sandy at Traveling Suitcase</a>Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-4203601372909908862014-04-25T21:52:52.313-07:002014-04-25T21:52:52.313-07:00You've mentioned quite a few 'hidden expen...You've mentioned quite a few 'hidden expenses'.<br /><br />Any promotional activity must be done after a detailed cost-benefit analysis.

Way down.

I've passed on my accounts to a book keeper who puts in my tax returns, but I hadn't considered looking at promotion in this way and really costing it out.
