How many Qs do you usually average at the checkout? - Page 4

Mom2my3sons · 09-10-2008, 10:22:38 AM

I live in a coupon lovers nightmare, no doubles, no winetags, bad insert coupons and no major chain stores. At the grocery store I average maybe 1. Usually I don't use any. I make small trips and only buy fresh produce or dairy products. Rarely do I find a deal where coupons make name brands less expensive than the store brands. When I do find those deals, I stock up as much as a I can, and on those trips I will use 40+.

Now the drug stores are another story all together. I usually use 5 or so per ransaction, but I will do 3 or more transactions in a day.

I'm trying to up my Q count per trip! I used to average only a few per trip. Now that I'm a HCW-er, I use more (maybe about 5-10) and plan on getting the number higher as I go! :)

i use 30-45, sometimes more, depending on the deals. save around $35-90 each time.

today I had $208 in coupons in one transaction, no doubles. it was at least 84 coupons.

i usually have at least $75 in coupons each trip.

Before HCW 0
Since HCW 15-30 depending on sales.. and I'm getting better so looking forward to using more and more!

When I go to SWM, I use as many as I can. Usually 40 to 50 cause I only go there 1 x a month. At WAGS and grocery stores I just do the deals I know about, so it varies from 5-15, depending on sale and RR's or CATS.

I have been hesitant to use self-checkout, but I think I may try that next time at the grocery or SWM, cause I have had problems with cashiers running through the Q's so fast that they miss some.

Since I've been a member of HCW I gotten now to the point where I can't even buy an item unless I have a Q to go with it!

I love my Meijers, they never give me hassles. I use probably atleast 30 per trip and I just look for the happiest looking cashier. They are only set up to let you use $100 in Q's at a single transaction. I dont mind, they only double up to 2 like coupons so I just go more than once a week. Very close to home.

16-30 here, because I hit the stores often - and I'm only shopping for 2 people. We have a very small freezer. :frown:

I normally do 10-15 q's per order, and 3 orders per grocery day. We have really funky rules on our doubles, they would make you guys cry (they make me cry lol!) if the doubles rules were different I would say that I would easily use between 30-50 q's per order.
