as you read he poo-poos public transportation and I wonder what he makes of my coupons and deals...
Moderation in all things- I hope he sees there is no shame in looking for deals. He liked the "bring snacks" idea. Baby steps...
Maybe you could put the coupons and deals angle to John like this: It's a way for you to end up having more money for other things that you want (if you're going to be playing anyway -- although on the other hand, I don't encourage people possibly getting too carried away with chasing after comps).
And maybe he can get to the idea of looking for deals as a challenge to see how much he can get and how little he can pay for it.
Maybe you can even ask him what he thinks of you and the other LVAers having all of these deals and coupons?
Hopefully he will see that it is a good thing and that maybe he should try to aim for that!
