Re: Couponers - any good finds lately?

I'm a huge LivingRichWithCoupons.com fan. She updates several times a day with new coupons and deal ideas. She basically does the work for you and all you have to do is make sure you have the right coupons.

My favorite store is Shoprite in Commack. It's huge, clean, and well stocked.

My boss and I coupon together. A lot of deals require buying multiple products and while it's nice to have a stockpile, we find it easier to just combine our transactions into 1 and then split the items. For instance, last week @ Shoprite was a deal where you had to spend $30 to get 2 $5 Catalinas. We combined our coupons and did this deal:

Buy 2 Pledge Furniture Polish ($4.49) $3.69 each
Buy 2 Shout Wipes ($2.89) $2.49 each
Buy 2 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel ($4.35) $3.79 each
Buy 4 Fantastik $1.99 each
Total: ($31.42) $27.90
-(2)$0.50 off Pledge Products
-$1/1 Pledge Furniture Polish ecoupon
-(2)$0.55/1 Shout Products from the 3/25 SS
-(2)$0.75/1 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel Coupon
-$1/1 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel eCoupon
-(4)$0.75/1 Fantastik from the 3/25 SS
Pay: $11.70
Get (2)$5 Catalinas
Get a $1/2 Scrubbing Bubbles SavingStar eCoupon
Get a $1.25/2 Pledge SavingStar eCoupon
FREE after coupons, eCoupons, catalinas & savingstar deposits

So OOP before savingstar deposits, we spent $5.85 each and each got 2 Fantasticks, 1 Shout Wipes, 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel, and 1 Pledge! Plus we got the 2 $5 Catalinas!

Shopping together also works when we need to do multiple transactions.

Today we are headed to shoprite and are going to get, among other things:


Pillsbury Ready to Bake Cookies - $2.50
$0.75/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookie Dough printable
$1/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookie Dough via Cellfire
as low as $1.25 each after coupon & cellfire

Right Guard 3D Odor Defense - $1.89
Get a $2.00 Catalina wyb 2
$0.89 each after catalina

Chinet Comfort Cups - $1.99
$1/1 Chinet Product printable
as low as $0.49 each after coupon

DEAL IDEA
Buy 4 Head & Shoulders $6.59 each
Total: $26.36
-(2)BOGO Free Head & Shoulders coupons
Pay: $13.18
Get a $10 Prepaid Visa Card
$0.79 each after coupons & visa card

Friendship Sour Cream - $0.99
$0.55/1 Friendship Dairy Product printable
as low as free after coupon

Tabasco Sauce, 2 oz - $1.49
$0.60/1 Tabasco Product, exp. 5/12/12 (SS 03/25/12)
$0.50/1 Tabasco Brand Product printable
as low as $0.29 each after coupon

Re: Couponers - any good finds lately?

Those are some amazing transactions!!

Great idea to combine shopping! I have not been to Commack Shoprite but plan on trying it out this week. I am not a fan of Bay Shore at all.

And have not loved Patchogue.

Thanks!

I think the Commack store is relatively new or at least it looks it. It's nicer than any Stop & Shop I've been in and I usually think Stop & Shop is the nicest of all of the local supermarkets (except Fairway and Whole Foods).

Re: Couponers - any good finds lately?

Over the weekend, I saved close to $70.00 on my grocery order in coupons and with my Stop & Shop card savings, as well as the reduced meat coupons there.

My total was a litte over $100.00 when it was said and done and I had a whole cart of stuff.

I just looked at what was on sale and matched up my coupons.

They also had a lot of stuff that is normally expensive on sale this week like mozzarella and ricotta cheese and such. I also had coupons for these items so saved even more ;).

I also got frozen veggies for cheap with coupons and my S&S card that also had extra savings.
