Extreme Couponing
“Unlimited breadsticks do not equal unlimited forgiveness.”
Facing a tight budget and an addiction to discounted soup, one enterprising tenant named Kyle attempted to settle his rent using a 3-inch stack of expired Olive Garden deals. “It’s still legal tender,” he argued. “Bread is currency if you believe in it.”
His landlord, surprisingly flexible, countered by charging rent in calories. “If you want to pay in carbs, I want 40 lasagna portions by Sunday.”
Negotiations broke down when Kyle offered a half-used punch card and a garlic-scented IOU.
Now evicted, Kyle has launched a startup app called “Coupawn’d” which helps users barter expired fast-food coupons for secondhand beanbags and dignity.
Auf Wiedersehen, amigos.
