104 KRBE January 31, 2008

I heard you on KRBE this morning and no I do not think your crazy. I think it's great! I created profile rigt away, because I would like to save money on grocies. I cannot figure out how this site works though, could you help me out? Thanks.

anytime you have a question feel free to contact me on aim ...my username is jane4girls there too

Wow! I am absolutely amazed at how much money you save, and how much great stuff you have! I currently subscribe to another web site that offers me a grocery list along with what coupons to use to save money, but your savings far surpass anything I've ever seen! I must be doing something wrong. I'm not sure how this website works or where you're getting your coupons. A quick overview of what you do and any suggestions would be wonderful!

Hey neighbor, I heard you on the radio this morning and you are my across the street neighbor....how funny!!!!! So is this your website or just one that you are a part of?

is this Bonnie?

no, this is not MY website, just the best one in the world for deal! No fees, just great deals. and unlike some sites that charge you for the deals and coupon match ups...all the great members here do it for you or with you...

yes its me.......at first it didnt click that it was you but then when you talked about coupons and having 3 girls then i knew for sure :-)

Hi!

I LOVE ROULA AND RYAN - and I TOO heard you this morning. My jaw DROPPED when I heard you have a family of four and spend $800 a year! WOW! I thought my mother was crazy, she is a FANATIC about "price comparing" at Walmart - and she gets so angry at me to hear the money I spend weekly on food for me and my fiance (no kids = $125) AND we eat out! I think its virtually impossible to spend less! And I am an average sized woman (vegetarian nonetheless) but small figured who just LOVES grocery shopping. I look for sales, create a list and stick to it, but I cannot seem to spend less! I am 28 years old and new to cooking dinners for my fiance and its becoming overwhelming as to how much I have been spending!
I have since went on your website and have been sifting through this great information. But, I need help! I am angry I spend SO much money on food and STILL eat out because "there is nothing to eat at home".
You're not crazy - I AM! LOL!
Great Job!

I hardly ever shop at Wal-mart, just because they don't double or triple coupons...but if I can get a better deal there I will and bring along my ads to price match.

My favorite store to shop at is Kroger...they are the most coupon friendly and unlike Randalls will double or triple 3 like coupons...and when you have up to 50 of the same coupon it makes a difference, lol

you should also check out our sister site organic grocery deals cause they have the inside info on stuff like that too.

Oh Erin, what have you done??? Now everyone will know our secrets, LOL!

Wow....that is soooo wonderful what you do!!! My hubby and I have started to use coupons with everything that we purchase We will have to get better at this!!!

I'm glad you went on the air, shows everyone you can save $$$ with everything that you do!!

I just signed up...so i have to get used to this site now!!!

Is there a link where anyone can hear you on the radio? I for one would LOVE to hear it.. way to go!!

yeah I am trying to see if I can get a sound clip of it, but if everyone emails them about it I might get more progress.

www.104krbe.com

I'm on it.. emailing now..whooo hooo!! I didn;'t know bout the show.. so what was it called or what should I ask for the clip of? :)
YAY you!!

the roula and ryan show and the segment was called "does this make me crazy?" that aired between 8:30 and 9:00 am this morning and I was the first caller

I think it it fabulous! If I can cut my $400 mth grocery bill in half, I would be beside myself with joy! I love, love a good bargain and I have never considered that I could save so much on food.

I have no Idea where to begin, I heard you on the radio and I want to learn. Can you point me in the right direction? How do I get started? What does OOP mean?

thanks for any advise,

OOP mean out of pocket...the amount of actual money spent on a trip. Most of the time I have coupons that net me free stuff or pretty close to it. I also use gift cards for my purchases.

To begin, take an inventory of what you have, not just food, but HBA stuff too, shampoo, conditioner, soap, fem stuff...and see what you need. Most couponers strive to keep at least a one year supply of things on hand...some stuff I have at least 5 years worth,lol!

Then start scouting out coupons for the things you need...don't be brand loyal...watch the boards for coupon match up to the ads...and stock up when you see something at rock bottom prices.

A friend of mine heard you on the radio, and told me about it because I am a saving fool. I refuse to pay full price for anything. Groceries are a large expense since my husband and I try to eat healthy and we all know that these foods are more expensive. - Nice huh? At any rate, I was reading thru the comments and noticed your advice to scout coupons. So my question is...where do you scout? I get three newspapers a week so that I have severals coupons, but can I use additional coupons for the same items? I thought you could only use one coupon per item? I shop at Kroger as well, but I am not doing something right with a 100-150wk grocery bill.

at most stores you can only use one coupon per item...with the exception of a store coupon and a mfg coupon. For example, you have a $1 Juicy Juice coupon and if you go onto Targets website you can print a Target coupon for $1 off Juicy Juice...therefore you are now saving $2 on your juicy juice...same with other stores.

look for hang tags around wine bottles and beer displays, tear pads and peelie coupons on the products. These all help to maximize your savings.

you can get extra coupons by either trading the ones you have and don't need for the ones you want, ordering them from a service, or even writing to your favorite companies and asking them for coupons.

You can frequently find coupons for produce and other healthy food, but I agree, it is hard. Just keep your eyes open. You can make up and ISO (in search of) list to get your coupons too.

Thanks for the quick response, i'll try not to be a pest with my questions, but I am trying to figure out a few things about this site. I currently use another site, in which i pay for and the list is a little different. I don't understand exactly how to read it. If the unit cost doesn't have a price listed, does that mean it is free? I don't see how though, because for ex:crest toothpaste, on sale 2:00, coupon is for .50. even if it is doubled, that is still 1.00...correct? Am I not selecting the coupons correctly?

I am not sure what site you are talking about, but I would NEVER pay someone to save money...kinda defeats the purpose, lol. to make it easier to talk to you, if you want to message me at aim my name is jane4girls or at msn jane4girls @ aol.com
