Finding a good deal is a skill. Some people compile coupons, compare prices and scrape together any and all possible discounts, promotions, and other sales. But for every educated buyer, there is a person whose strategy boils down to “give me things because I said so.”

The “Single mom is not a coupon code” Facebook group documents and shares all the unhinged encounters sellers have had with women who tried to leverage motherhood into free stuff. So get ready to roll your eyes as you scroll through and be sure to upvote your favorites. And don’t forget to comment your own “choosing beggar” stories below.

    $250 for babysitting during a date? I guess the babysitter also does the groceries at this place. Creative scam though...

    How does the logic work when the person politely declines and the beggar insults them. 'Oh, sorry, now that you put it like that, yes, I realise I am an a*****e and tell you what - you can have the car I was selling for free!'

    It’s called ‘contraceptive’ lady, you can’t just have kids and expect to rave like you’re in your early 20s chewing your face off like a zombie 😆 you grow the f**k up when you have kids. (I chose raves, parties and drugs over kids, I don’t believe having both is responsible, I was also raised by idiots like this, kids need responsible parents not party animals.)

    Honestly - it is not a very bad deal. It is not like she offered 500 or 1000. Usually, people will try to underbid a bit - that is how the marketplace works. Don't like her manipulating it, further down the story. Don't like his reaction either. Yet,basically, wanting 3000 and getting 2500 ( in cash) offered is not that entitled.

    My gf and I are moving 14 hours away and selling things we don’t need or don’t care about to fund the gas. I had to beg her to send me a screenshot. She was MUCH nicer than I would have been. I wanted to screenshot this group name. Lol. Y’all ruined me. jk I’m here cause I’m already a kindred spirit. But the audacity. 200 dollar frame. 30 bucks.
    Oh. For my gfs privacy. I cropped her. She explained why it’s 30. And said if no one buys sure. Single moms response?

    I don't see how this is entitled. It's a bedframe being offered for $30 and she's just simply asking if she could have it for free for her kids. When told, basically, no unless no one buys it, she didn't clap back with insults like the rest of these posts. She just said ok.

    I don't think this is trying. They have just put it out there that they would like a bike. Not asking for the fanciest one. Someone may have. The right size bike hanging around in a garage that they are happy to donate.

    I don't think this is too bad. She's just asking for a working laptop, not the latest top-of-the-range model. I don't see this as any different to when I posted on Freecycle asking if anyone had a satellite receiver they no longer needed. We'd moved into a new house and the previous owners had left their satellite dish, so I thought I'd try to make use of it.
