My mom is one of these people that likes to work the system. She'll print off a hundred online coupons and spend her days getting 5$ off on different trips to the store, even when the coupon says "one coupon per customer".
Also, she will buy something that is expensive that has a very large coupon on it, and then return it to get the full price back- usually she gets 15-20$ from that.
The reason she does this is not just to seem clever or swindle the store, necessarily, but because as a child she grew up in an extremely poor family (she once ate dog food because she was so hungry). This has made her obsessed with saving money.
