This is just me, being curious at to how many members we have that shop regularly at Brookshires. I'm just trying to help liven up some of our quieter forums.

So come on in and say hey! Tell us as much or as little as you'd like about the following questions, or make up some more questions to get the conversation rolling.

Which location(s) do you shop at?

What's your favorite thing about shopping at Brookshires?

Favorite deal ever at Brookshires?

etc...

I shop at two of my local stores. Brandon and Ridgeland, Mississippi.

I've been shopping there a LOT lately b/c they've been tripling coupons up to & including 60 cents. It's been going on for at least seven weeks now. Every week, I hold my breath waiting to see if they'll continue...

They are always friendly and supportive of my couponing. And they have a baby club and a kids club that send out really great coupons. Once a quarter, I get a roll of film developed free. I just got a free 20 pack of Mission fajita size tortillas and a free 6 pack of Pediasure from those clubs.

Two things I don't like: 1)They are insistant on taking my buggy out for me. I'd prefer to do it myself, but no biggie. 2)The checkouts are set up kinda funny. They want you to go right while your buggy goes left, but at least one of my kids is in there! LOL!

I probably won't shop there very much when the tripling stops. I think their prices are generally higher than Kroger.

No doubles or Triples unless a special like moonlight madness or 3day sale. (only if writen in ad for week)

Most of the same stuff as average brookshires.

Hello Amber here, I shop at the Robinson Texas location, I love our Brookeshires because the people are so nice. I like it also because it is small enough that when I go in with my kids I can get in and out in no time, unlike shopping at WalMart or HEB. I don't really have a least favorite thing about it, except I wish they would double and triple more often. I am also not sure of what my best deal has been because I just started using coupons.

No doub's or Trip's here either

I shop during the moonlight madness and when they double/triple IF there is a deal. The problem is they only multiply one LIKE coupon and their prices are higher than other stores that multiply 3-4 like coupons.

Hey! Erika here from Forney, TX. No doubles or triples here unless once in a blue moon. They only double up to 50 cents and triple to 39 cents. My favorite store is Kaufman, Tx. I love their sales but usually only shop the sales, never my big shopping trip. I also love their meat, it is so fresh! Some of my best deals have been on cereal a few years ago when it would go on sale for 99 cents and I would have a $1 off 2. This week they have their Garnier Fructis hair products 2/$4, w/ a $1 off 1 coupon you only pay $1. Good deal!

I shop at the Brookshire's in Midlothian, TX. It's only about five minutes from my house, so I'd love to find ways to save more money there. I'll have to start paying attention, now that I'm going to do the coupon thing, to see when/if they double or triple coupons. And what is this moonlight madness of which you speak? Clearly I need to pay more attention!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the moonlight madness is a sale they have occasionaly and they stay open later on those nights. Sometimes on these sales they double and triple coupons.

I shopped at the Ridgeland, MS store today. Brieclark is right. they will run ou over and refuse to take no for an answer to take out your groceries. However, it was a good first run to use my coupons.I haven't done it in years and got discouraged then and gave up.They are tripling coupons and the manager volunteered the info today that it is going to be going on for a long time.

I feel really bad though because I spent hours ignoring my family and staying up late to try to save money, comparing ads and clipping coupons. I spent way more than I would normally spend. Plus everything is sugary of full of fat!!!Any advice ladies?
