I use to do the major couponing thing. I had the huge notebook and got my weekly coupons from the paper and certain websites. I was addicted although I really did not have the time. I never bought excessive amounts of anything that we did not use. The most thing I stock piled were the hygene items. I got so addicted to it, I had to quit. It was comsuming me too bad. I was a member of a coupon club on yahoo and that is where some of the local ladies would lay the "deals" out.
I didn't like how they would go and buy the stores out just to stock pile (not needed). Some were given to local churches or if a family was in need. What disturb me was they thought nothing of going in a store and wiping it out for that weeks deal when someone like me or you may have only wanted 1 or 2.
The other thing I didn't like is how they would tell you (example) if you go to target they just put out there glade candes in the can and they have $1.00 off coupons inside. There is a special coming up next week on those candles. The coupon is right under the lid.
So what they were saying was go steal the coupons out og the can and not buy the item. These were church ladies. I questioned that, and someone blew me off. I left the web-site after that.
There is alot of ways to save just with the general items you buy. It really is good to able to hook up with a coupon group till you get the hang of it.
My best deal that I could do were at Publix and CVS.
If you have a BOGO most stores will let you use 2-coupons. Check your stores policy on coupons or ask manager. |
