2011-06-29T19:46:00.000-07:00

Ok for those of you who use listerine mouth wash. Get over to walmart and take advantage of the 2/$5 deal. Use your $3 off coupons on each, and you will only pay $1 each for it...plus tax of course. Its the best deal I have seen yet.

Some Tips

2011-06-22T07:48:00.000-07:00

Here are some more tips we have learned over time:

-it is good to highlight the dates on the coupons-it speeds things up at the cash (some cashiers complain that the writing is too small)
-also it is definitely good to have your coupons organized before you get to the cash - Lisa uses a mini accordion file folder to organize the coupons for that particular day. She has them organized by store (for bigger shopping trips)
-we still take a big binder in case we find in-store deals. We recently purchased a binder with a zipper to keep them inside as the coupons kept sliding out. As well it had lots of pockets for scissors, extra special coupons.

When you are ready to go to the till, find one that has a young person attending. We find that anyone middle aged or older always give us the gears about coupons and is usually always rude. The young ones think its cool to use coupons and they don't usually care that we are using them, as opposed to the older ladies who are always giving us a hard time.

There are alot of coupons out there, but it doesn't mean you need to use them all. Some coupons are really not that good. I find that, unless the coupon is less than $1 its not worth it, unless the item is $2 or less. In Canada there are only a couple of stores that allow stacking of the coupons (London Drugs and possibly Save-On Foods--depends where you live) I think that using a 50 cent coupon on a $4 item is really defeating the purpose unless its an item you always use or the item very rarely goes on sale.

cereal coupons

2011-06-06T18:34:00.000-07:00

Look for specially marked cereal for some great deals on products. I think most grocery stores have cereal on sale right now and you will find some really great deals on the back. We alone have collected 40+ bags of cereal which has given us 40+ coupons in free items. If you think about it, most of the coupons are for items that cost on average $4 each. This works out to about $160 in free stuff that you don't have to pay for at all, and because its free, you don't pay tax either. You get cereal at a great price, and every family goes through that like crazy and you get free stuff....its a win win situation!!
