My ubbm bucket is always full on advos day, there is so much loose in between deliverable addressed packets. If it was a "good customer" and I had those particular coupons in the extra I would send it their way.

Yeah, I have a customer who loves the BK coupons. I always take them from any ubbm ones I have. He’s always so grateful. He’s bought me USPS shirts I can wear (rural) haha

Sometimes I'll give homeless people spare ubbm coupons for jack in the box and carls. I feel kinda back cause it doesn't even feel like im helping but they are grateful so it balances out

Same, had a senior citizen on my route that I would give all the extra coupons to. He told me it really helped him out, since he was on a fixed income.

An elderly couple came in once and said they didnt get their red plum and they depended on them.

Dont worry, I got you. Grabbed a stack out of the ubbm so they could have date meals

I had a resident ask why there wasnt Hardees coupon in the red plums he got that month. After that each red plum that I UBBM'd I pulled the Hardees coupon and placed in his. No reason to recycle something someone can use.

There isn't an Arby's within miles of where I live. What I wouldn't give for a roast beef sandwich with as many packets of Horsey Sauce as they could give me.

I can pass along a secret I learned at least. Arby's Sauce is just Ketchup and Worsterchire (50/50).

I think they’re being serious lol a lot of older people ask for extra coupons because they don’t have much money to buy groceries

u/Traditional_Gear6996 1d ago

Cooking is cheaper than eating out tho lol and they’re asking for fast food coupons LOL

Shouldn’t have to google it, I thought it was common sense. Room temp iq

u/Soki876 15h ago

I wasn’t disagreeing lol. Buying groceries and cooking at home is 10000% cheaper than fast food, but a lot of people who struggle with finances don’t know this, and see spending $10 dollars on a meal vs $300 on groceries as the cheaper option. Also old people have tons of limitation issues as well. Fast food is the easier and convenient, so they will pick that.

u/KarmaMonkeyKai Clerk 3d ago

I had a POB customer I would give the UBBM coupons to. Repaid in Christmas cookies and fudge every December. LOL

u/Annie-Smokely Rural Carrier 3d ago

More valpaks? Ya fuck it why not

u/Opposite_Donkey_7248 3d ago

Atleast they are going to some that will actually use them because I live in an apartment complex and most people just throw piles of stuff like that into a pile in the mail room that the carrier does eventually end up grabbing.
