Hi, thickbluebug here.
In this blog we will chart our journey of the deals we are chasing and the rebates we are hunting.
Tossing in some daily thoughts and tips.
Of course there will be drama too. We are couponers and someone is always trying to pee in the cornflakes - so drama is a given. Deal jealous fools trying to spoil the fun.

March Stockpile Challenge
March stockpile challenges
I am participating in the stockpile olympics as well as the living off your stockpile. I noticed holes in stockpile a few months ago. I refuse to pay high prices when it's not absolutely neccesary. So I play to play and keep myself accountable in the challenges and rotate my stockpile.
If I continue to replace my stockpile during the sales cycles my stockpile can maintain it's size.

Didn't use the 1/2 publix q's - this store didn't have them....Found them down the road - so I will take the q's back and get $15 back.
I added a gc to hide the overage, so my total wouldn't stand out after I get the refund. New cashier missed $2 in q's too.

I used the .75 on dole - another cashier wouldn't let my shopping pal use hers. ACK - I will take my crt back and show where I got mine and I expect her to get her .75 too. This is a really bad store, they won't even give you a dupe crt.
