Has anyone gotten toilet paper FREE after double coupons (not MIR)? If so, what brand, what store, and in what part of the country? I thought this post might help some others.
My only free tp deal, has been at Giant(PA)/Martin's. I have done it twice so far, and they are offering it again, starting 7/8!!! I wish I had some more Q's! There are .50 blinkies above the display this week, too, making those .50 for a 4-pack.
DH really prefers the Scott 1000, but I never get them as cheap, or free, but they last longer.
I'm not brand loyal, as much as FREE really gets my attention.
Has anyone gotten any other brands for free, excluding MIRs? If so, what other brands/store/state, etc.

I don't come close to many of these prices listed!

We live in a no doubles area. I have Hyvee, Fareway (not a great selection), Dahls (horribly pricey), Super WM, and Super Target.

Clearly I am still doing something wrong! LOL!

I'm not familiar w/ the three stores you named. The only time I find a good deal at Target is when I see it posted on HCW. Pretty much the same w/ WalMart, as I avoid it like the plague, unless I see a good deal posted at HCW, that I just have to have. lol.

Do your grocery stores ever have 5/$5 or 10/$10 sales, w/ name brand products? When you see that your store is going to have one, start matching up your coupons. If you have an Q that is .50, and your store doubles; a 10/$10 sale will make the item free. So far, I have gotten these items free, after double coupons, when combined w/ a 10/$10 sale; Scott Extra Soft TP, RedPack Tomatoes, SuperPretzels, Aquafresh & Colgate. Probably some others, but I can't think of any right now. Most items I get are .30-.50 after coupons.

Thanks to learning the ways of couponing due to this site, I no longer pay for toothbrushes or toothpaste, BBQ sauce, hair dye, sometimes aspirin, sometimes TP, I pay .50-1.00 for shampoo/conditioner, hair care products, .50-1.00 for cereal, .50 per box Hamburger Helper, less than 2.00 for 12 packs of soda, free candies, free or next to nothing for cat/dog food.

I'm sure there are a ton of other things I'm spacing out on right now, but there's an idea anyway....I shop Albertson's, Safeway, Walgreen's, and very, very rarely shop Walmart, (and have saved a ton by not shopping there much anymore). Oh yeah, sometimes Rite-Aid.

I have gotten free TP in the land of no doubles before. I live in Nebraska and I have gotten free Charmin TP with a $1 off any coupon at Ace Hardware. When they have there $1 day sales. I have gotten it 2X now. I also price matched at 2 Walmarts for this price. To bad Walmart does not carry the 4 packs anymore.
Ace just had the $1 days in June and this time the had the soft and gentle for $1 and no coupons for it. I still do have about a 6 month supply so I am good for a little while. But if a deal comes up I will get some more.

My lowest price for Ballpark hotdogs $.08/pack. I'm still giddy over this deal.

My kids are going to be so sick of hotdogs (which they currently can't get enough of LOL).

**Thanks MOD for moving this to the correct thread**

Ok, I'm not so new now, I have been at this for just about 2 months, and just like you said it would happen, I am amazed by what i will pay for something now as opposed to what I use to pay. But I'm curious... what is your max price? I know alot of you will not 'buy' shampoo and toothpaste (stock up when it's free). I still think saving 75% over what I use to spend good.

Here is my list of curiosities...I've seen them in your stockpile pictures, so there must be some deals on these products I haven't seen yet (I've looked at the sales cycle thread - I'm excited for the upcoming months)

shampoo
toothpaste
deodorant
toilet paper
paper towel
laundry soap
cereal
spegetti sauce
peanut butter
ketchup
...and anything else you find that you usually stock up on at some point

I've only been doing this seriously for a couple of months, but all of the above items I've gotten for free or just a few cents. Mostly, the HBA items are free with rolling RR; peanut butter, papertowels and laundry detergent has been purchased with overages on other deals; and ketchup is free when my store has them 10/10 with doubled .50 coupons. Toothpaste is the same. Right now, Piggly Wiggly has Ragu spaghetti sauce for .98 and will double one coupon, so I've made several trips and get 2 each time with a .50/2 (doubled to $1), so I'm getting it 2 for $1.00. Cereal- get it on sale, use coupons, and do the rebates. There's another new one out this week for Kellogg's. Hopefully you got the Walgreens RR on Kellogg's a couple weeks ago! Free is always what I strive for, but right now anything under $1 is good. HTH

This really depends on what area of the country you live in... so these are my prices from WA since I haven't adjusted to some out here yet and will have to see the "best" price of the year.

Shampoo/conditioner - free
Toothpaste - Free
deodorant - Free
toilet paper - .50/pack (4 pack min. - so 12.5 a roll - name brand only)
paper towel - .50/roll (never did get a good deal on these - always bought them w/ overage)
laundry soap 1.50/large container
cereal - .20/box
spaghetti sauce - .13/jar
peanut butter - .25-.50/jar depending on brand
ketchup - I only like one brand (Heinz) so .50/bottle
