Here are the items I bought. They filled the island in our kitchen. I bought 95 items and found them on sale or had a coupon for almost everything. Out of 95 items I used 16 coupons. I got deals like Matt's creamer reg. 2.76 sale 1.99 and $1 off coupon for 2. I ended up getting 2large international creamers for 1.50 each. Or lunch meat oscar myer shaved deli meat is reg 3.98 sale 2.50 plus $1/2 so they were $2.00 each Motts apple juice on sale .99 dinoyogart reg 1.37 $1.00 off coupon. Anyway, I was so excited. The best deal of all... are you ready for this? The reece's dark chocolate cups were .50 and I had a coupon for .55 off. So, they paid me .05 to eat reece on the way home from my savings hunt! Awsome!
A website I love to check out is hip2save.com. She tells you all kinds of tips on how to shop. She loves Target and if you are a target shopper definitely check there before you go to the store. Two of the deals I have gotten from the sight are crocs for Addie $8.99 shipped to my house. I wouldn't normally spend crocs prices for a kid but since this was so low thought I would try them out and see if I like them. Also and you have a week left of this deal. You can make a photo book, bound with text and beautiful by Picaboo for free. You can make a 20 page book for only shipping price till the end of March. I am making one for Addie's first year. I have the coupon code if you need it. Also the sight features new products that they let you sample for free or even video tours of her getting deals at the stores. My regular check of the sight is for Walgreens/cvs/right aid/and Target. She walks you through the ads for the week and points our what you can get and how to use the coupons to get you items for real cheap and sometimes free.
Now I know you are wondering how much I spent on my 95 items. I didn't have coupons for the baby food, addies hair bands, bread,and other similar items that I wanted, but all the items with tax= $153.20
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I just told my hubby the other day that I bet the cashiers at Walmart cringe when they see me coming! I usually have a handful of coupons in one hand and the ads from the Meijer, Kroger, etc in the other where I am going to make them price match! You might also check out www.918couponqueen.com. Lots of coupons and tips on her site too!
Does it still make it cheaper at Walmart even if they don't double their coupons?
My favorite is when Kroger has their buy 10 of various items and save $4 or something like that. I try and use coupons, the best deal I got one day was a box of Ritz crackers for .99.
For me it depends on the coupons that I have and how many items I really need from a particular store. For example, I had great coupons for lots of things that were in the Meijer 10 for $10 add this week, so I did go to Meijer too. I made Walmart price comp my stuff from Krogers though. However, there are lots of things that I buy that, yes, even though they wont double my coupons are still cheaper at Walmart.
I used to do the Grocery Game(http://www.thegrocerygame.com) and now I just do it on my own. You can save BIG, but you have to shop every week and I think to really get the deals you have to "stockpile" or buy more than you need. We've really saved a lot and I love a good deal!
I just heard that you can get some good deals at Target from a friend on FB (do you remember Erin Hamm???). Anyways, I'll have to check that out.
Amanda, I will be checking out that website! ;)
thanks amanda for the tips. Meijer doesn't mail their flyer so how do you hear about thier deals?
I am so totally jealous right now!! I need to come to the Amanda/Jill/Jami/Melanie coupon class!! I guess this is something I need to start working on in the next few weeks so we can make our money go further while I'm off with Maggie.
What great bargains, Melanie!!!!!
Melanie,
I always get their flier in my Sunday Courier Journal. I buy mine at the store though, don't have it delivered. You can also view their ad on their website. I guess you might be able to print it from the website and take it in the store with you. Interesting that it doesn't come with the delivered paper.
