I found this coupon in a magazine from 1979. I thought your readers would get a chuckle out of it. I wonder if any store that redeems expired coupons would take this one? 😉

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

    It’s a store coupon. So it can be combined with a manufacturer coupon 😉

    I still have some coupons I got from my mom that have no expiration date. I’m sure some of them were from the mid-80’s. I have a few with no bar codes, too. Still plan on redeeming them. 🙂

      My dad has some with no expiration date as well. Thankfully all the products were no longer made because he wanted to use them. And they were for 15 and 20 cents off!! I cant imagine the nightmare at the register with no bar codes.

    Mug-o-Lunch! Hahaha! I like their mugs!

    I just redeemed 2 coupons that were at least 6 years old with no expiration dates on them. They worked no problem.

    • Roxy

      Except that this one expired in 79. Lol.

        I work at CVS & an older lady gave me a coupon for Nice n’ Easy hair dye that didn’t expire and had a copyright date of 1997 on it. I thought THAT was bad! 😛

        • jessica

          She was waiting for just the right deal lol!!

  18. Dawn

    I have 3 coupons for $2 off seventh generation diapers with no expiration. They have the dual bar codes so I figure I can use it at some point 🙂

    This made me smile..a few years before my time but so interesting and such a warm happy feeling!

    We should have a virtual coupon museum for stuff like this!

      When I was helping my mother go through the items in her closet, in her old purse were coupons from the seventies. I kept a few nostalgic to me, including one for Purina Cat chow for our kitties (can’t find it at the moment, but it probably said around 12 cents off) and another for the breakfast cereals we ate before school (Puffed Wheat and Cheerios). I love the recognizable look of the old print ads, with different colors and style.

  21. Lisa

    Wow, what a throwback! I ate Mug O’Lunch as a kid but had forgotten all about it! Showing my age here ;~)

  22. Pharmchick

    So I wonder with only a 7 cent, discount how much these went for! Maybe a quarter?

  23. Jennifer

    This coupon expired when I was 4 days old! (:
