The 100% juice by ocean spray is the best. Whenever it's BOGO and there's a coupon I stock up because the boyfriend will happily pay $4 or whatever for it.

NicklePickle, I pick one or two stores to hit hard every week, the rest I just go to if I have time.

I pretty much only shop kroger when they have the $5 off 10 item sales.

7/21/2009 11:14:48 AM

^I only shop Kroger when they have the $5 off 10 deal too


I only shop HT when they do triples or super doubles.

My main store for groceries is Lowes Food.


I do hit up CVS every week and ocassionally Walgreens. Never Rite Aid.

I go to http://www.iheartcvs.com and http://www.iheartwags.com and look at the coming weeks' ads. That way I know what is going to be on sale, can plan my runs, see if I need to order coupons. This way my runs are fast and precise.

I normally shop HT, but I rarely buy anything not on sale.

BOGO pop tarts with double coupon this week was pretty sweet, and it also works for the kellogg's fuel for school rebate.

7/21/2009 11:20:49 AM

^^ i still need to figue out this ordering coupons thing

7/21/2009 11:23:29 AM

I use http://www.thecouponclippers.com

7/21/2009 11:23:54 AM

you can also order coupons in bulk on ebay

7/21/2009 11:24:36 AM

the only times i would want a bunch is for ht triples or super doubles, but the ads for that are never out with much time to plan

now that just sounds lazy and retarded as fuck. just what i want is some expired ass coupons

7/21/2009 11:26:59 AM

You just have to order the really good coupons within a day or two of the ad coming out if you want to pay something decent for them. I ordered poptarts coupons the first day of the sale and paid $1.85 for 15 coupons, cheapest I could find. Still have 6 left over, might get some poptarts for my brother or roommates.

7/21/2009 11:27:28 AM

when you get them on ebay you know ahead of time what you're getting and that they aren't expired. if they arrive and they aren't as advertised, you file a claim on ebay/paypal/whatever and get your money back. it's really very simple.

shipping takes 2-3 days at best.

Ordering coupons isn't lazy, it lets you stock up on stuff you use a lot of. Like pop-tarts, if I don't buy them cheap the boyfriend will pay full price, and he only eats the pop-tarts brand ones.

7/21/2009 11:29:55 AM

ok I'm gonna start working on the "good deals" list for Super Doubles @ HT.

7/21/2009 11:30:09 AM

^shoot it over to me in gmail when you're done?

yes it does sound simple but it sounds like a big hassel.

wait why am i posting in here.

7/21/2009 11:31:38 AM

it's not a hassle either you search for what you want, scroll through the list of quantity/price and pick the best one. and then you pay for it.

i have no doubt you spend more time searching for porn in the average day than i do clipping/collecting/ordering coupons AND executing the deals at the store.

yeah, i'm gonna need this list as well. my coffee table is still covered with coupons

Thumper, I just found out that Tractor supply sells the equivalent of Feline Pine, only labeled "equine fresh" for horses. 40lbs for $6. My cat probably uses a little more than a 7lb bag a month, so that's 5 months of litter. Cheaper than clay litter and no tracking! I love the stuff but hated how expensive feline pine was so I was thrilled to see this stuff when I was in there before.

I'm pretty sure I got a bag of this stuff a few years ago to try it out, and the cats used the other litter box instead of the Feline Pine box, so I assumed it was cuz they didn't like it and I didn't wanna fill all the litter boxes with it, lest they get pissed off and shit on my clothes.

7/21/2009 11:42:49 AM

It's so different than regular litter you have to mix a little with the clay litter at first to convince them it's ok to pee on. For a couple weeks every time I scooped out the wet clay (non-clumping litter) I'd sprinkle a little pine on top. The first time Monster jumped in the box you could tell she was a little surprised because it didn't feel like clay litter (still peed in it because the clay litter was there and it still smelled like a litte rbox), but she likes it now.

Monster was getting eye infections every couple months before I got her for her whole life. She hasn't gotten a single one since I switched to feline pine, no to mention that the dust did awful things to my allergies.

I have heard some super picky cat's won't use it, but thankfully this one will. She likes a clean litterbox and it's much easier for me to keep clean when I'm not coughing the whole time.

The button up Wrangler shirt that I am wearing was purchased from the irregular rack at J&R's Tobacco Outlet for ~$12.

7/21/2009 11:56:44 AM

I wasn't trying to say it was just her way, I'm just asking for her help because she was the one saying she would offer her help to anyone

and I really don't want vitamin water and all that... I want Ocean Spray CranApple and that's it I'll see it for BOGO occasionally, and maybe for 2/$4 or something like that at Food Lion - that's about the extent of my saving-on-juice skills

7/21/2009 11:58:16 AM

so I just finished looking at the good deals for super doubles....there are a few things I might go and pick up but nothing that really jumps out at me.

7/21/2009 12:17:37 PM

That was my thought. I'll go, but it won't be much different from a normal week. No deals worth ordering coupons for, at least that I have seen.

7/21/2009 1:52:52 PM

i forgot to get up and go before work this morning

7/22/2009 9:15:39 AM

I just got the coupons in the mail. They will be put to use.

7/28/2009 4:11:03 PM

wow that was quick


I just sent them out yesterday

7/28/2009 4:25:03 PM

Your "thriftiness" has encouraged me to cut coupons. We have limited funds so I should have been doing this a month ago.

7/28/2009 4:28:02 PM

I will keep an eye out for baby deals (diapers, formula etc)

7/28/2009 4:31:28 PM

we don't need the formula anymore but if you see Rice Dream ones...send them my way!
Thank you for doing that. I know that is extra energy. You must be a very thoughtful woman.

7/28/2009 4:36:12 PM

I think I actually might have Rice Dream coupons at home

I'll look later

or here's an internent printable for $.75 off
http://www.tastethedream.com/promos/coupon.php

take it to a store that doubles coupons (lowes food, Harris Teeter) and get $1.50 off
