It's all about the bottom line! What is your best price?

[niftyneon99]

I think that is a good price, especially if you are brand specific.......me, I don't really care, cause It's only wiping my butt LOL, as long as it's not too thin or scratchy, it'll do

I think we have about 12-14 rolls left all the soft fluffy kind that goes fast so that might last us to new years-- i need a good TP deal of SAVE ALOT have to get more so I can get free tp with my coupons (thanks hcw trader) :)

Well, this TP reg. price at WM is .40 per roll w/o coupon. The best price I ever go on it was .11 a roll w/ coupon, of course. So, since I haven't gotten that deal in about a year, I think I will really stock up at .15 a roll.

How about flour?

I wouldn't pay more than .25 for 5 lbs

Wow I am in awe of you guys. I live in rural Vermont and we don't have the same stores. We have two stores that double coupons - one to $1.00 and one to .99c. Even with that I cannot come close to the deals you all are getting.

Where do you find the multiples of the coupons? I get coupons from two or three friends & I trade with others online when I can but I cannot imagine having 30 of the same coupon to go in & stock up on something. Any suggestions?

How do you always get shampoo and things like that for free?

That is the trick--no one can always get this stuff for free, thus the stockpile. When you see a deal where you can get it free you get as many coupons as you can find and buy as much as you have room to store (within reason of course--you don't want to be using 20 year old toothpaste in 20 years). Maybe you get 20 tubes of toothpaste this week, next week you get 40 toothbrushes, a month later find a great deal on toilet paper and fill the closets. You may not get another great deal on this stuff for a year or more.
Also, if you want free stuff you can't be brand specific and sometimes it takes quite a bit of work.

Buy multiple Sunday papers, go dumpster diving, ask your local coffee shops, doctor's offices, libraries etcs for their extra inserts -- or buy from a coupon clipping service or eBay.

The free way is dumpster diving or asking neighbors for their extras--but it can be a lot of effort.

The almost free way is trading--but it can also be some effort and you have to consider the price of stamps.

The most expensive way is a clipping service, but they aren't terribly expensive and are the easiest way if you need 40 of the same coupon. However, they often will run out of the really hot coupons quickly, so by the time you see a sale for the item it will be too late to order.

If you start trading or ordering coupons on the first day of a week long sale they will usually arrive in time for the last day of the sale, even from across the country.

Another way to get lots of coupons is to grab a bunch when you see a blinkie machine or tearpad. This easy, and often the values are quite good. Save these and use them when the item goes on sale--they are usually good at any store, not just the one you picked them up at. If you ever have to take kids shopping with you, put them on blinkie patrol--it gives them something to do and you soon have quite a collection of blinkies.

Can you recommend a coupon clipping service that has reasonable rates & good turn around time? I use mostly organic or special diet coupons and those are really hard to find.

Thanks
