In August 2009, we moved from AL to NE to a town that does not have coupon inserts. UGH! I am such a huge coupon user but now I have to rely on homemailers and IPs, unfortunately. I don't "buy" coupons and I don't use paypal or any other online payment source. We are a family of four, two adults, two kids (13-1/2 DS and 11 DD). We have two dogs, also.
The stores I shop at are Wal-Mart, sometimes the Panhandle Co-Op, rarely the Family Thrift Center and Safeway. No doubling here (except maybe Safeway - but since we don't shop there much, I am not sure). High-dollar coupons off one only are best. I can use IPs but no expired coupons. I shop at Walgreen's but there is no CVS here. We also shop at Target, Home Depot, Menards, Murdochs, the Mercantile, KMart every once in a while.
I haven't had time to look thru the coupon database to make a wishlist there but here are some ideas. Naturally, there are other items we buy/use, but I either have plenty of coupons for those items or I have the actual items on hand and will not need any for a while. I will update this as I think of things to add. Inserts, partial or complete, would be okay also. What I can't use, I can trade.
I can not use:
expired coupons
baby coupons
kitty anything (except to donate to the shelter)
