Maybe DM just wanted to take a different angle on this topic.

I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other. The market will bear what the market will bear. But I was trying to put myself in the shoes of some of the people in that community who appear to be very upset about it.

I’ll say this: I used to clip coupons religiously and was very anal about my grocery store trips. There were times when I would literally have a calculator in my cart keeping a running tally. And I know what you mean about it being fun, having a coupon for every conceivable thing (in a tabbed coupon organizer, of course), seeing that “YOU SAVED THIS MUCH” at the end of the receipt, and raising the cashier’s eyebrows. But in all honesty, I save way more money and eat way better these days by doing most of my shopping at YDFM. It became clear that the majority of coupons I was using were for overprocessed products that either weren’t good for me or I wouldn’t have bought otherwise (which, of course, is the point). And then it didn’t seem so fun anymore.
