Saw my idol tonight...

I went to Shaws to get some last minute deals before the sales switch tomorrow morning.  They were out of Progresso bread crumbs so I got in the customer service line to get a rain check.  Meanwhile, a fellow couponer was at the register and I got to see her in action!  She had a  *million* coupons and spent $9 and got 36 Progresso soups, at least 7 Progresso Bread Crumbs, about 5 packages of cat treats and one more bag of things that I couildn't make out. 

I'm sure a lot of you are that good too but it was the first time I'd seen anyone in action.  It was cool to watch and I had so many quesitons for her...specifically because Shaws is the store that always gives me a hard time about my coupons.  I wondered if she had a friendly cashier that she could introduce me too :)

    Where do you GET coupons?! My Sunday paper coupons stink and I don't want to spend the money in ink and paper to print them off. I just saved $36 with in-store savings yesterday and my grocery bill was still $150. Blech. I wish I was more coupon savvy.

    I feel the same way- I don't feel like I save enough from the Sunday paper coupons to even pay for the subscription- where do these magical coupons come from? I'm so fascinated by this!

    Wow, that's great... I'd love to see a fellow couponer in action.  I've never even seen anyone use a coupon.  Seriously.

     

    As far as where they come from - a lot of the best ones come from online so you do have to print them.  I can guarantee you, you'll make back the money you spend on ink, though.  Or invest in a laser printer (We have a black and white one) and you'll hardly ever have to change the toner.

    First, your baby is adorable!  What a picture :)

    The woman last night had multiple coupons from the paper.  I, for instance, take my father's, aunt's and grandmother's coupon inserts and add them to my own.  For instance, if I have a $1/2 Cheerios, I'll actually have a total of four.  I will then by 8 boxes of cereal and get $4 off.  The other trick is to only buy when things are on sale.  Clip your coupons and wait a couple weeks to check to see if your store has any of the items on sale.  Rite Aid and Walgreens are also worth watching for sales.
