The coupons and discount cards and other marketing schemes disguised as "savings" and "free gifts" are out of control over here, too (USA). My wallet is fat from all the plastic cards. The grocery store is the worst, with computer generated coupon strips a mile long handed to you with your receipt, and a complicated point system with discount redemption deadlines I can never keep in mind.
