I usually do my shoping for the month at the beginning of the month. Then I only go back for milk and bread as needed.
I do watch the sale ads each week and if there is something that is Free or nearly Free and I have a coupon for it then I will go to the store. But since we are down to one vehicle I limit my trips as much as possible.
Now days I usually go out 2 times a week, when I'm doing my errands. I usually go to 2-3 cvs stores and 2-3 rite aids, and 2-3 krogers (depending on what I can find stock wise). Then once a month I go to Aldis and save a lot and foodland. Maybe once a month, if that, to target, kmart, and walmart. Then Walgreens and dollar tree every other week.
If I owe you feedback, please let me know!
So far for me, since I've been couponing (about 1&1/2 months), it depends on the store coupon limits. I went to Ingle's 4 times (not really trips, just walking in and out, 2 stores, 2 in/outs each) in one day for the Pillsbury cat deal. 3 coupons just isn't very many. And HT, the same thing, 3 Q's for a like item and I never seem to get a cashier who knows that different flavors are NOT like items. And I'm still a little overwhelmed and kind of nervous, especially when things come out free (makes my head spin a little), I really can't say how many times I go in any one week. LOL!
I am looking for a forumn regarding what seasons things usually go on sale, can someone direct this newbi. thank you.

There is a thread for each month in the stockpile forum.![]()
I live super close to my Kroger's, so glad, since it's my number 1 store for my couponing in this town! But 3 like coupons only so several trips for me if it's a free item! I go to Walgreen's alot if it's a really good deal, because we only have one in town. CVS, only once a week if that. Walmart, once a month maybe, and Brookshire's once a week for their meat markdowns and if something is in the ad that catches my eye. But I live in Kroger's.![]()
