Occasionally you can be owed credit without a coupon if you can find a 2 for 1 thats also been reduced for quick sale. (They sometimes subtract the full price of the second item, so a 50% off on a 2-4-1 item pays for itself). Too rare to feed the homeless, but my Dad once filled a shopping basket for something like 21p with that little oversight...ofc most of the food had a useby for the very next day but still

On it's surface, yes, this is a fine idea -- but the problem won't go away by feeding it. It's a systemic issue that won't go away by couponing. If anything, giving on the streets, feeding the hungry, precludes any real help and only serves to further prolong the suffering.
