yeah, it was a pain in the butt

it was so nice to buy 2 Biltmore dressings on Saturday that were BOGO free and use 2 coupons at once


Are there any good matchups for triples using the coupons in yesterday's paper? I haven't gotten around to looking.

5/23/2011 1:07:35 PM

I did it very quickly yesterday morning and got:

free M/Ms!
$0.14 Breakstone cottage cheese/fruit doubles
$0.25 Degree deodorant

I think they were all 75 cent coupons.

5/23/2011 1:19:17 PM

I heard there is free Smucker's grape jelly w/ the $.55/1 coupon from yesterday's paper

I have 2 of the Silk Almond coupons to use today

Quote :

"$0.25 Degree deodorant"

There's a $.75/1 e-vic coupon for Degree mens or women's deo that I was able to add to my card today.

Here is what I got on my Triples trip last night (I think that'll be my last trip)

1 Degree Women's Deo (one of the "specialty" ones). On sale $3. Had a $.75 e-coupon and the $.75 insert coupon from Sunday's paper.
1 Silk Almond Dark Chocolate. $2.50. Used $.75 IP.
2 M&Ms
1 Odwalla bar
1 Pure Protein Bar
1 Margaret Holmes Spinach can
1 Always Pads. On sale $2.50. Had a $.50 e-coupon and a $.75 coupon that P&G sent me in the mail. Overage of $.25

1 Parmalat Milk $2.65

BC: $18.98

The Totinos IP is at http://www.totinos.com. The website says its a $.50/2 IP but it actually prints as a $.50/1

The nearest Harris Teeter is 30 minutes away, but I'm almost tempted to just do big shopping trips there. Hmph.

5/24/2011 8:10:30 AM

$0.75 coupon for Freshectta by the slice.

5/24/2011 9:26:16 PM

Harris teeter is pretty awesome. I've been able to use e-vic coupons in addition to regular coupons for incredible savings lately. I have had issues with a few e-vic coupons failing to take off though, but customer service is always fantastic in rectifying the error efficiently.

my husband is a district manager for a gas station company. One of the distributors saw him eying coupons for me. He gave him 0.50 off any 2 2-L sodas. (it was a miller lite coupon, the same guy gave him $2 off any $10 purchase in March )

HT brand soda was .87 so I got a whole bunch for 12 cents a 2-L

I got some Tide Single loads with the 0.35/1 any tide coupon. (every time I went I got the max so I have like 15 or 21 single load packets )
I got the FRS single cans .55/1 peelie
I got zone bars
I got the budding turkey .55/1 peelie

So all in all...I did better than I though last week. I will probably donate my Tide since I did that big Wisk deal at Walmart 2 weeks ago (hang tags......$2 off any Wisk, at the time they had promotional 12 load bottles for 0.97. Walmart also gives overage )

My mom got the several June P&Gs today and it doesn't look as good as this months. She ran into a newspaper guy that had more inserts than papers and he gave her 100

5/25/2011 11:04:43 PM

Anyone have a good coupon app for Android? As in, open it, search for a coupon, get said coupon, and show it to the cashier? I've tried "The Coupon App" or w/e (really popular one) but it only shows online deals from what I've seen, unless I'm having a real herp derp mode whenever I open it.

5/27/2011 3:58:10 PM

Quick update on a few deals I found.

Food Lion by my place(Falls River) has $1/2 coupons on 2 liter pepsi products(Coupons stuck to the bottles). They are already on sale for a dollar each, so 2 liters are 50 cents each. I am a sodaholic, so I loaded up

Today only, HT has a couple of slick e-vic specials. Original Chips Ahoy 15oz packs are 99 cents. There were none left on the snack aisle, but plenty by the dairy section in displays.

Also the Birdseye steamfresh frozen veggie sides are bogo at HT. We really like them, and they are already pretty cheap. This coupon:

http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=wi&tqnm=ydekcxr8900583&o=85465&c=BE&p=GXYz59Ia

doubles to make it 70 cents off each one you buy. I think they ended up being around 50 cents each after vic/coupon.

[Edited on May 28, 2011 at 2:45 PM. Reason : njnjn]

5/28/2011 2:44:14 PM

stores double up to99 cents. Do you get 1.98 on 1.00 coupons?

5/29/2011 2:55:14 PM

^ No

Also, what coupon book organizer do you all use?

They all seem to be expensive and figured I could buy a generic school 1.5" zipper/binder and use 9 pocket trading card binder sleaves for coupon organizing.

I use a mini-expanding file--I think it has like twelve or so pockets that I've assigned different categories to. Sometimes, when I clip a lot of the same inserts and printed a lot, I've packed it to where it won't close. So I put a category into a separate baggie for a while.

I think the baseball card holders can turn into a crutch for some people. Through couponing, you will hyperdevelop basic mental skills to the point that you do most of the organizing and calculating in your head.

5/30/2011 2:45:13 AM

I finally signed up for SavingStar.com which lets you add electronic coupons to your shopping cards but instead of taking it off at the register, it places the amount in our SavingStar account which can be redeemed for gift cards, money into your bank account etc once you reach $5

I signed up for it the other day and added all the coupons and then I realized that a lot of the coupons match up with HT sales this week. Best part is that you can pair it w/ VIC sales and E-Vic coupons.

Here is what I did today at HT:
1 Glad Tall Kitchen Bag 78 ct- on sale for $4.99 (e-vic sale). Used $.75/1 insert coupon and a $.75/1 SavingStar coupon
1 Diamond Crystal Sea Salt. BOGO free. $.99 for 1. Had $1/1 e-vic coupon and $.35/1 SavingStar coupon
2 Ritz Crackerfuls. On sale $2.99/box. Had a BOGO e-vic coupon (took off regular price of $3.99). Had 2 $1/1 tearpad coupons.
1 Wisk Detergent. On sale for $3.47 (e-vic sale). Used $2/1 insert coupon and $1/1 SavingStar coupon
1 Snuggle Fabric Sheets. On sale $2.99. Had $.75/1 insert coupon (from early copy of tomorrow's RedPlum) and $1/1 SavingStar coupon
3 KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauces. On sale $1 (e-vic sale). Used 3 $1/1 insert coupons
1 Cholula Hot Sauce $2.99

After VIC/coupons: $9.30

Will get $3.10 deposited into my SavingStar Account.

So after coupons and SavingStar coupons, it will have cost me $6.20

Shopping at Harris Teeter is god damn cheating

Free Bayer Aspirin

Quote :

"Starting the week of 6/12, both CVS and Walgreens will have Bayer Advanced Aspirin 20 ct on sale for $3. Here’s how to get a much better deal: Bayer Advanced Aspirin 20 ct $3 Use $2 Bayer from 6/12 inserts Use $1.50 Bayer Advanced printable coupon (http://www.couponingfor4.net/Coupons) Pay $1 or $1.50, Get $1 ECB/RR (depending on store) Final Price: Free or $.50! The $2 Bayer coupon will come out in next weekend’s paper, so make plans to pick up a few extra (although many of us have found that inserts are missing from papers sold in stores!). If you want the printable, you’ll want to grab it now (two per computer!). You never know when the printables are going to disappear!"

I like this program... except the part where they want my information and they distribute it to affiliates. That, for some reason, bothers me. Oh well.

6/4/2011 1:09:13 PM

I just signed up on the last day of May and activated all the coupons. I checked it and it gave me everything I bought during triples and the diapers at Rite Aid. I already have 11 dollars

6/4/2011 8:26:30 PM

There are some good deals at HT this week w/ the P&G insert and the new E-VIC coupons

Not sure if we all get the same E-VIC coupons but all of mine were for P&G products.

Here is what matches up nicely w/ the P&G insert

Clairol Nice & Easy Color Blend Foam $6.99 (I think it should be $6.99. Express Lane doesn't show this product but other Nice and Easy products are $6.99). So if it is $6.99, you can load a $3 E-VIC coupon and the $3/1 P&G coupon. Should be $.99.

Crest Mouthwash. $4.49. $2/1 E-VIC coupon and $2/1 P&G coupon. $.49

Gillette Body Wash. $3.99. $2/1 E-VIC coupon and $2/1 P&G coupon (from 5/15 RedPlum). Free

Oral B CrossAction Battery T.Brush. $5.99. $3/1 E-VIC coupon and $3/1 P&G coupon. Free

6/8/2011 12:26:39 PM

my newspaper didn't show up today

or it was stolen by an obsessed couponer

6/12/2011 8:25:53 AM

^ LOL....you can call the paper and they will either credit you a Sunday paper or redeliver it (If you find out pretty early)......

My deliver person was evil so I had to stop getting my Sunday paper.

6/12/2011 11:12:53 PM

On Recyclebank.com after earning 100 points you can get a coupon for $10 off $50 at Harris Teeter. Its really easy to get 100 points too.

rumors of Super Doubles next week at Harris Teeter

6/22-6/28

6/14/2011 4:48:58 PM

Food Lion has their Big Deals sale going on, which is a scavenger hunt where if you buy 10 items off of this sale list (all on sale too), you get $5 off your total...20 items gets $10, 30 items gets $15, the max you can get off on a shopping trip.

I went yesterday and saved $61 and spent $124...HOWEVER, I got screwed out of an extra $5 in savings because I accidentally bought two boxes of cereal that were the wrong size. I thought I had 30 items, but the wrong size cereal (12 oz instead of 14 oz or something) didn't count for the sale event so I was 2 items short

What's even worse is that the smaller boxes of cereal were actually $0.89 MORE than the big box, which was on sale for $3/box .

6/16/2011 10:06:24 AM

super doubles at HT starting tomorrow thru next Tuesday

6/21/2011 2:41:38 PM

^thanks

6/21/2011 2:59:03 PM

I have decided to pass on SD at HT...there wasn't anything I wanted.

6/21/2011 10:08:51 PM

FL "mega event"

Peps two liters 1.25.......but 10 save $5.

There are peelies for $1 off of two. I bought 20 used a 5 off 25 and the 1/2 and I basically paid nothing!

6/21/2011 10:10:05 PM

Here is what I got this morning @ HT

Wasn't that impressed w/ the sales this time.

2 boxes Hefty trash bags BOGO free (reg priced $8.99 so $4.49 for 1). Boxes had $1 off peelies on them. Bought 2 boxes and used 2 peelies. $2.49 a box.
2 boxes Hefty One Zip slider bags BOGO free (reg priced $2.89 so $1.44 for 1) Used $1/2 coupons from recent insert. $.89/2 boxes
3 Tidy Cat Scoopable cat litters BOGO free (reg priced $4.55 so $2.27 for 1). Used $1/1 insert coupon. $.27 per container
2 Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Kit. $2. Used 2 $1/1 insert coupon. free

Not my best total but we needed trash bags and cat litter. Can't beat $.27 scoopable cat litter.

6/22/2011 10:24:05 AM

I mean...who needs five tubs of icing?

6/22/2011 10:26:09 AM

lol they aren't tubs

but I bake a lot when I am bored/menstrual

LOLOL I'm sure you wanted to know that.

6/22/2011 10:39:46 AM

Man....there was so little everything was cleared out...

I did get the free napkins- 1.99 1/1 PG Insert
vitamin water- $1.....$1/2
Hungry Jack 2.07 ..........$1/1

I also got a cart of markdown juice.....the had Juicy juice and Northland's best 0.50-1.29. I used my Food Lion $5/25 and I feel like I got a great deal.

That was really it....it was a total zoo. I might go Sunday if there is anything in the paper after they restock; however, there wasn't really anything here.


Side note: The marcal coupon from Sunday ($1/1) is good on the 1.19 paper towels at Food Lion. The only problem it is one coupon/person.

6/22/2011 7:13:31 PM

ok...I just got back.....

I got Philly Cooking Creme (love this stuff) 2/4 with $1/1
Oreo Icing stuff (I bake for day care and this would be fun to send along so they can decorate their own)
more napkins (and I thought I would have a hard time finding these)
vitamin water
vicks cough drops 1.50 of any 2 vicks
Kashi Crackers 2/$5 used a $1/1 from Kashi $6 saving booklet
Kashi Cookies 2/$5 used a $1/1 from Kashi $6 saving booklet
Breakstone
more free baby food....I cannot fathom why people pay for these purees. I have spent less than $10 on all off his food thus far (over 200 jars of baby food )

I would say fairly successful. They were restocking and had everything. I think from now on I will go at midnight on day one and just swoop in for everything. No one was at the checkout. It was SO nice!!!!

6/23/2011 12:42:27 AM

here is what I got this morning:

2 Bounty napkins
2 Hormel Compleats for Kids (gave to my coworker's kid who loves them)
3 Hungry Jack pancake mix
2 Lance Cracker Creations
3 Minute Rice Steamers
1 Bayer Advanced Aspirin--look for tearpad coupons for $1.50. On sale $3.99 so only $.99 after coupon plus there is a rebate from a recent insert

BC: $27.02
AC: $1.54

Will submit for Bayer rebate (I think I'll get $1.99 back)

I really wanted to find the Reynold wrap foil b/c its BOGO free ($1.99/1) so w/ the $1.00 insert coupons, its free. But the HT this morning was wiped out

6/24/2011 9:39:18 AM

is HT tripling?

6/24/2011 9:54:34 AM

Super Doubles.

They will double any coupon up to $1.98. So $1 coupon is worth $2, $1.50 is worth $3

6/24/2011 9:55:51 AM

i am finally doing this... i read up on krazy coupon lady and i got 2 subscriptions to the thurs-sun edition of my local paper

bring it on! cant wait to post my deals and learn from the masters

6/29/2011 11:52:02 AM

Here's the secret:

1) Shop at Harris Teeter on coupon doubles days
2) ???
3) Profit

Free pasta and V8 fusion at Food Lion...

The $1 off Mullers from Sunday makes it free this week at FL.

For the V8 Fusion use 2- 1.50/1 fusion ang 1/b2g1 coupon from the 6/26 smartsource

They are 2.50. For every 2 you get a catelina from 1 oyno. Also FL takes the full price of the free item coupon. So I broke it up and they paid me .25 cents every transaction I did.

Ok, another newbie to the couponing world. Quick question, when stores (such as the HT that I'm shopping at) say they'll double coupons up to $0.99, does that mean you have to bring a second identical coupon or do they just double it automatically when you hand them any coupon thats less than $1?

I'm trying to wrap my head around all this since I don't think I've used a coupon in my life until recently.

7/20/2011 5:40:17 PM

you hand them any coupon that has a face value up to $.99 and the cash register doubles the value of the coupon.

if it is super doubles, they double coupons with a face value up to $1.98. the trick here is that they only double up to $1.98 as well. so if its a $1.50 coupon, they'll "double" it but only up to the $1.98 limit.

That's lame.

7/20/2011 5:49:25 PM

^^ Is incorrect. At HT, if it is super doubles and you give them a coupon for $1.50. It will double to $3!

7/20/2011 7:27:34 PM

^Is correct.

7/20/2011 9:30:27 PM

After being out of town for a week, we have no food in our fridge.

No milk, bread, juice etc

Going to go to Kroger tonight for their Mega Sale

7/21/2011 12:52:47 PM

^Man I just hammered that mega sale.....

ended up with 17 dollars in overage for the necessities...

FYI: one of the Wisps are on closeout for 1.09 but still is part of the mega. There were .75 peelies on them. So that is good for some money.

I did the 2.50/2 reach coupons (buy a toothbrush and/or floss and/or flosser and/or......) Tooth brushes and flossers are $1 after mega and the floss I found ended up being 0.30 after mega.....so get 2.50 off 1.30.

Ran into a couple of other good deals also....Brut deodorant is 10/$10 and there is a coupon for $1 off any Brut.

I know I bought other coupon items, but I can't remember what I got off the top of my head.

7/22/2011 1:44:20 AM

New coupon site that uses loyalty cards (CVS, foodlion)

savingstar.com

You load coupons on your loyalty cards, purchase (no immediate discount) then later choose payout options starting at like $5

7/22/2011 8:27:09 AM

^just be warned, it takes forever to get the money credited to your acct

it says like w/in a week but last time I used them, it was like over 2 weeks before the money was credited to my acct
