**Now, I could have run my balance down even lower by adding in more overage items, but I want to do the charcoal deal again and did not want to use all of my overage coups at once :-) I buy 4 papers each week, but you can see how some people who buy more papers or buy lots of coups online could have lowered the balanced by purchasing more of the overage items...
