Explanation:

The author's text focuses on sharing how to save money on food by using coupons, including finding them online. Option D says the purpose is to educate people about getting coupons off the internet, which matches the content (mentioning "savvy internet coupon" and sharing a personal example of finding coupons online). Option A is wrong as the text isn't about describing favorite foods. Option B is wrong because the author shares a saving example but the main purpose isn't just to brag about savings. Option C is wrong as the text doesn't argue that buying food is pricey (it says food is expensive but the focus is on saving with coupons, not convincing about food prices).

Answer:

D. to educate people about how to get coupons off the Internet
