Newbie has couponing marketing worked on you

[Dara77]

I do notice I can get items that I like more often now than before, For instance-flavored liquid creamer-I am getting that dirt cheap quite often so instead of plain old milk, I can get the "good stuff!"

The gogurts are cheap for me right now with Cartbuster at Kroger. They are a good deal with paper coupons and loadables. Also those yakisoba noodles. I love asian type food and I love the teriyaki flavor. I usually get these free but I did buy a couple for a dollar each when I ran out of coupons.

If you like Gogurts and the Noodles, then the next time they are on sale come on this site and trade for as many coupons as you want.
I can tell you that yogurt can go bad after a few months, so don't buy 100 packs.
If you watch your store ads and keep up with coupons, you'll slowly remember how often those items are on sale and how often the coupons are out and adjust your purchases accordingly. A common sale item and common coupons then you might only want a few. A rare sale item and a rare coupon then you need plenty.

434 I was saying that I am adding $$ to my grocery bill because I have become a customer of new products. I will heed the good advice. Try to get multiples of coupons for my familys favorite products. Pantry items are no problem. I need to look into buying a freezer for my garage so I can stock up on frozen and cold foods.
Thanks

There is nothing wrong with becoming a customer of new products. That is what is so cool about couponing. I've tried stuff I never would have paid for pre-couponing.

That said, I am still cheap. I rarely pay full price for anything, unless it is an absolute necessity. Of which there are few. Even if I splurge on things I never would have bought pre-couponing, I still pay less overall because I use coupons on other things. I pay less on the things I buy in general, and maybe buy things here and there that I consider "splurges", and as long as I pay less than I did two years ago, I'm happy.

It comes down to your willingness to fight the cravings/wants/gimme gimmes.
