re: Official Couponing Thread

OP-do you use the price match at walmart for produce or anything?

Quoting .Mommy.x2:" OP-do you use the price match at walmart for produce or anything?"

What do you mean? I don't buy produce at Wal-Mart usually. I usually buy produce from the local Farmer's Market. It's usually cheaper than Wal-Mart.

I do sometimes buy it at my local Harris Teeter (like the fruit cups) because they are convienent and I can get them at a discount a few days before they are out of date.

Quoting ♥ Skinee Cracka:" And, actually-- there's two fresh fruit cups, a package of baby carrots, and a salad kit in there. LOL"

i saw that, im just saying ingeneral a lot of coupons i see, arent for things i use... i mean id love to do it, but i wouldnt buy an item, just because i have a coupon

at our wal mart here you can use any sale from any ad and they will price match it. kwim?

I don't.. unless it's free or under $1, and then I buy one to try. That's how I tried greek yogurt. Which I'm glad I did, it was nasty lol.

If you don't see coupons for stuff you don't buy, you can always call the mfr or go online. There are tons of coupons out there. You just have to look sometimes. And coupons vary each week too.

Oh yeah, they do that here too.. but they don't double coupons like the other grocery stores do.. So, it's better for me to go elsewhere. I hardly ever go to Wal-Mart, unless its for something I need that isn't on sale anywhere else and I know WM has it cheaper.

do you use costco or anything for bulk? the only two grocery stores here are walmart and safeway.

ya, i might start emailing.calling the mfr, see if i can get any... if i culd save 20 bucks a week, id be pleased haha.

paperstuff is expensive too, toliet paper, paper towels, and laundry degerent, dish washer soap, alll that stuff if i could sve would be FABULOUS

If you don't care about the brand, you can do well on those items. I usually get Washing Powders for les than $2 a box, sometimes free (see one of the pics I posted). I NEVER pay for Dish Washing Liquid. EVER. I have like 10 bottles on reserve lol.

I do need to do better on toilet paper tho  

Quoting ♥ Skinee Cracka:" Coupons usually say limit one per purchase and what that means is one coupon per item you purchase. ... [snip!] ... uusally 4 items (if I need that many). I don't have an extreme stockpile-- just enough to last us for 3 months of a few items."

When we were watching the show last night they were using like 25 identical coupons, thats the stuff I mean, I use coupons now but I could be saving a lot more
