Is It Ok to Use Coupons on a First Date? [VIDEO]
3 hours ago
Okay, we all live in "Frugal" West Michigan, and I came across this video, so the question is really quite simple, is it bad to have a coupon on a first date? I personally think it's a little tacky.
Forget a date -- what if it were business? If a manager took you out to dinner, and used a coupon, would that bother you? If it were a job interview, would that tell you something about the manager? Can you think of another situation where it's better to leave the coupon book at home? Do coupons really a bad thing or just a sign of the time?

‘Just Remember I Love You’ by Firefall – Classic Hit or Miss
Yesterday
The self-titled Firefall, released in May 1976, became Atlantic Records quickest album to reach Gold status. The group's first single, "Livin' Ain't Livin' ", stopped just short of the Top 40. In the following months the band toured with Leon and Mary Russell, the Doobie Brothers and The Band.
The band's next single, "You Are the Woman", made the Top 10 and the band began touring with Fleetwood Mac, who were at the beginning of their commercial peak. Their next single, "Cinderella", though it reached the Top 40 and was played extensively on FM radio, did not fare as well on AM radio because of its controversial lyrics which caused feminist groups to pressure the stations to avoid playing it. However, this did not have a lasting effect on the band's sales.
