Any coupon queens/kings here? I've just started clipping coupons and I'm waiting to enroll in an extreme coupon class. I went to Publix today and with their BOGO deals and my coupons, I saved $92.34 on a month's worth of food. My total bill was $196.66. I also went to Walgreen's and bought 12 packs of soft drinks, 4/$11. The drinks, laundry detergent, paper towels, they had Hellman's mayo $2.99 with a coupon, etc were less than $45. I'm basically set for the next month other than buying milk, eggs and bread. Just wondering if anyone else does this and if you have any tips? I'll share mine when I take the class. :) |
I'm a wannabe coupon queen. I have good weeks and bad weeks. Did you see the program on TLC the other day called Extreme Couponing? Those people were unbelievable. 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. |
Coupon newbie and in the last month or so I am positively addicted!! Grocery store trips have been very limited lately, since I'm getting a ton of stuff at Rite Aid and CVS for free and next to nothing! Just yesterday I went to Rite Aid and got 8 boxes of Special K cereal, 6 Reach toothbrushes, 6 packages of Stayfree pads and 2 Velveeta n' cheese shells dinners. Grand total you ask? $2.70, plus $13 in "rewards" to spend on my next trip!!! |

If you see some good deals on items that you want to stock up on, and there are coupons for them, you can buy coupons from Coupon clippers on the internet. |

You can use both, but the number of coupons can't exceed the number of items. I usually end up buying a pack of gum or such just to get the number even if I need to. I did find that when the new Walgreens opened here, that I had to pull out a copy of their policy and speak with the manager before they would honor it. |
I have no idea how register rewards works. I've clipped out of the past two Sunday papers. The lady behind me wasn't too happy, but I did wait until mid morning on a weekday to try to eliminate huffing and puffing from the person behind me. I was pretty pumped to save almost $94 and I didn't buy anything that wont be eaten. I'm excited to find out more! |
I love coupons but wouldn't call myself a queen, however "clearance" is my middle name. lol |

If you have a Facebook, there's a site you can like called MyCouponExpert. I guess once all the abbreviations and such make sense it will be better. My husband has a FB friend that took the class and she always posts her receipt for Publix. She spends $60 some dollars and saves 3 times that. That's what I want to do!! |

Today they had it for Pantene. But 2 pantene itemsd for $7 and get $2 in register rewards. Then I had two coupons for $3 off two pantene items. So I bought 4 Pantene items and used my two $3 coupons making it 2 items for $4, then got a $2 register reward for each purchase which made them $1 each. Normal prices is $3.50 each. |
Right. You can't use 2 coupons for 1 granola bar. But you can use 2 coupons when you have, say a granola bar and an eraser. Or 1 granola bar and 1 item you had a raincheck for. The system does allow it, it's just that most of the cashiers don't know how to do it. This is another good site for info about Walgreens: i heart wags There is a similar site for CVS: i heart cvs |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
