Any coupon queens/kings here? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I used to do the couponing, got carried away with it too bad. I felt too overwhelmed and had to give my huge notebook away and stop a while. I still do it a little but I am not as concentrated on it as before. Did get some great deals.

I'm not great at matching up the sales and coupons myself. I like southernsavers.com to help me out. I was also on TheGroceryGame.com for awhile, but their lists were always "off" for my area. Plus, it didn't make sense to pay for TGG when SS is free. Couponmom.com is another good free site, plus it has a coupon data base to help you locate coupons for the sales in your area.

A wanna be?? LOl, that is so funny. I cut a lot of coupons and forget them every time I go food shopping

My daughter spent $17 this morning and got $50 worth of stuff.

You know the CVS by me also does not accept manufacturer coupons? I wonder why one does in another state and not in my state New York

I also might add the Target here also does not accept them

Publix is supposed to double up to a certain amount, and they also take Target coupons. That didn't work for me today. the extreme coupon class is $15 but they're always on a week then I'm not in town. FB said today that their next class had a lot of people drop out because it was being held in a church.....I don't even want to know. :O

I was in line at Publix doing my coupon and when I first got in line no one was behind me so when the cashier started doing my coupons I was watching closely cause the cashier kept trying to slide the coupons and not ring them I heard someone talking loud but didn't really pay close attention until he yelled LADY PLEASE I'll GIVE YOU THE F ING .50 cents. I turned around and looked at him told the cashier he must have had a bad day. I waited outside for him and offered to show him my receipts and see my $150.00 I saved that day. He was still cusing me. LOL I said to him as he is walking by thats $150. dollars not cents. I laughed and went on. I did watch my rear mirror as I left to make sure he wasn't following me.

That is terrible how dare he talk to you like that

What a moron and I would have let him know. I am so sorry that happened

dogbert · 01-11-2011, 05:21 PM

Stores have the technology to not need coupons any more. But since they put them out I use them. If the guy behind me doesn't like it he can take it up with the store mgr.

I was really embarassed after I got in my car, but mad too.

People are rude I actually had a lady take a pkg cookies out of my cart once saying I didn't need them. They were for the kids I watched every day not me. But because I was overweight she assumed they were for me.

Wow now that is rude! Didn't matter who they were for, it wasn't any of her business! People have nerve anymore!

dogbert · 01-11-2011, 05:34 PM

Yeah that was in Phoenix I don't live there anymore.

I did see the show and was amazed! Although, I do wonder what some those people would ever do with much of their stockpiles. Like Windex, I must have seen 100+ bottles of windex on one of their shelves.....does anyone really need to use 100+ bottles of Windex in a lifetime? And, would you really want to store that much ammonia and other chemicals in your home? But, I was impressed with the 200 boxes of pasta!

That was extremely rude of him! You were a lot nicer than I think I would have been.

She would have gotten a piece of me to invade my cart. Some nerve!
