Where do you get the competitors coupons? Do you just take the competitors ad into the store with you?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the great tips!Kristyn @ Carolina Fireflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980439408219655922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017270358032057238.post-8507812994759033612011-04-16T06:40:23.828-07:002011-04-16T06:40:23.828-07:00I've been seriously couponing for about 2 year...I've been seriously couponing for about 2 years now and I can say that you can definitely save money! Ditto to a previous commenter about using southernsavers.com. Her site is FABULOUS. It's all about combining the sales and coupons to get the best possible price. Also, you do need to stockpile to some degree. NOT to the extent they are on that crazy TLC show, that's just ridiculous. But, sales cycles usually run in a 6-9 week rotation, so you should buy enough of an item while it's on sale to last you 6-9 weeks until it comes on sale again.<br /><br />Also, start buying more than one Sunday paper so that you have at least 2 coupons for things. This is especially helpful when things go Buy One Get One Free, you can use 1 coupon on each item and get a GREAT deal!<br /><br />Also, learn about shopping drug stores and doing the "drug store game." I LOVE LOVE LOVE CVS!! That razor you listed as getting for 3.97, I often get those FREE or maybe pay .25 or so. Keep up the good work!Stephanie @ The Cozy Old Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570129561305128679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017270358032057238.post-57968754642914254742011-04-15T07:36:13.791-07:002011-04-15T07:36:13.791-07:00I read a bit from other coupon people and they are...I read a bit from other coupon people and they are able to pick out all of the things that aren't "normal" on that show. From what and the amounts of items those people buy on the show, it's apparent that they were told to buy as much as they can for as little as they can.<br /><br />My couponing tip is to see if your grocery store has a sign up to email you their Sunday sale fliers early. I also subscribe to one or two coupon sites that do a Sunday circular preview. That way I can check and see if there are any coupons or sales that interest me and then I buy the paper. So far, I just stick the coupons I can print from my computer while wearing my jammies.Lisa Nelsen-Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731962631056727458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017270358032057238.post-27219910178198905732011-04-14T04:36:39.397-07:002011-04-14T04:36:39.397-07:00I agree with you don't buy just because you ha...I agree with you don't buy just because you have a coupon and then not use the product before it expires, at least donate to a shelter before it goes bad. I just went to an extreme coupon party Friday night and learned a lot. I have never used coupons, because I didn't take the time, but after the party and reading your site, I will give it a try for a few weeks and see if there is significant savings for the time I send. Great post thanks for sharing your experience:)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269071000636475794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017270358032057238.post-66202211049551462732011-04-13T16:45:35.391-07:002011-04-13T16:45:35.391-07:00That's awesome that you saved so much!
