I'm impressed. Being new I'm amazed at the free stuff people get. If I could get a bit of organization going I'd probably do much better.

You're ahead of me! Good job.

Girl, that's MEN! We women are the multi-taskers; they can't handle too many details! That's why we are in charge of all of the holidays, meal menus, family wardrobes, and getting all of the stains out of the laundry! Just tell your husband, "Honey, I understand that I was expecting WAY TOO MUCH; I hope you can forgive me for that", give him a big hug when he says, "Oh, that's okay", and celebrate being a WOMAN today! HA!

I'm so jealous!
I want double coupons at Kmart!

I hadn't noticed. The same bottles of Dawn were 12 oz not too long ago.

Have you seen this thread?

wohooo, 60% will be right around the corner!

Wow, WTG! Great job!

I KNOW! Have you seen the size of the bite sized Ritz peanut butter cracker box lately? It looks like a sample but the price is MORE than it once was.

Frustrating. No more brand loyalty for me!

Wlecome, and good luck on your endeavours!

Thanks for the responses! I will def check out your blog cheap-o! I looked at it for a few min and it looks informative. I agree with you Erin, I will have to just pass on some deals otherwise I will be chasing my tail.

sorry for not explaining that better FreckleTown.

When something is on sale 10/$10 or 3/$5 or whatever, you can just buy one and get the savings. (the only time you might have to buy all is at Walgreens when they have some whacky deal going on)

That is valuable information you taught me that everyone does not know that. I will add that to our presentation next time.

And don't forget....you can get as many free popcorn as you have coupons for, just get them 3 at a time to be able to use all the coupons.

Thanks, ocean brez!

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha... thanks for the laugh! A great way to end an evening!

So sorry. It's so hard to see your child hurt. Hope you can find a doctor that listens and is able to help. As for the teacher, she'll understand. I was a teacher for 10 years. Just keep her informed. Goodluck!

That's great that you have access to such a large amount of coupons. Your work will be rewarded and you'll be in your own place before you know it... with money left over!

I'm with you! I went to two different stores today and realized I had left the coupon I thought I needed at home... ugh. Right now all my coupons are in a ziploc and I thumb through all of them trying to find "the one". I do have an organizer I keep in my purse but attended the coupon class in Katy and got LOTS of coupons and didn't have room or time to sort them. I know I missed out on several deals but I just keep telling myself that I'm learning and it will come soon.

WOW, you did great!

It is up to the store whether to double or triple or not. Some coupons will even say do not double on them but some of the stores in my area will double them anyway. Up to the store. Sometimes up to the individual cashier to decide.

Usually if the store doubles coupons they will say so in their ad or post it in the store. If in doubt ask a cashier or manager. Some stores never do it. Some do it one or two days a week. Some do it rarely and when you least expect it. Just keep watching and checking. Even if your store doesn't double there are good deals to be had with coupons.

Some stores like Walgreens will let you combine one of their store coupons with a manufacturer's coupon. Also stores seem to be changing their practices all the time so be flexible. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a generic without a coupon. No matter what the "asking price" or starting price is it isn't the amount off that matters, it is what you end up paying for the product unless you need a certain brand or product.
