Couple of notes:

I'm so glad I checked my receipt before I left the store because the cashier did not take off my free milk! I went to CS and they gave me back the $$ for the milk.

Someone CLEARED out the shelves of items that I wanted to get b/c I had a coupon + the sale. There were some specific items that I had on my list - Pillsbury Dinner Rolls/Pizza Crust, Keebler Dark Fudge Cookies, Pepsi 20pack, Totino's (only a couple of boxes of Pepperoni were available) that were completely out of stock. It was so annoying!

Tomorrow: Shoprite! I have $27 in coupons to spend and there are some good deals!

Re: couponers?

Which Shoprite did you find the Scott's Flushable Wipes? I've been looking since I have a really good coupon & e-coupon but I can only find the container, not the refills.

Today I went to Shoprite and got a 12-pack of Scott's TP- $7.99 + .99 coupon (doubled) + $1.20 ecoupon = $4.81!

Re: couponers?

I went to Patchogue for my shopping trip. The cashier there claims they do not double any internet coupons. She was kind of nasty. Argued with me that it was the 19th and not the 12th, and said my coupons were expired. I told her to look at a calendar.

It must be a store policy of theirs. I always use printable coupons at my local Pathmark. Maybe call their customer service and ask?

The coupon cannot be photocopied but if you just printed it out it should be fine depending on the store policy.

Re: couponers?

I am soo glad I see people in my area that love to coupon as much as I do! I have a site as well and post pictures of all the deals I get and breakdown the transactions too so people can see what I get! I started couponing about a year ago and have saved THOUSANDS of dollars! People used to make fun of me when I started doing it and said it took up too much of my time. Well...now a year later, I run a website, teach classes all over Long Island, and quit my job to do what I love! For the first time in years now, my husband won't give me a hard time when I go out shopping because I save so much!

For those of you that don't know as well...true..maybe no coupons for meats and veggies, but there are soo many rewards programs out there that can earn you FREE gift cards and stuff which can be used to buy the items you won't have coupons for!

So glad I found this site so I can share my deals with everyone here as well.
:)
And my Favorite store to shop at ? CVS! LOVE them!Chat Icon

No. Not unless it's a store coupon and a manufacturers coupon. For example...if you print a coupon off of Target's website and it's a Target coupon , that can be combined with a manufactures coupon. But if you print a pampers wipes coupon from coupons.com and then have a pampers coupon from the paper, you can't use both.
Hope this helps!

Re: couponers?

Ran in and out of Shoprite today for free Zantac and a roasted chicken.

The 24ct Zantac was on sale for $7.59. I had a $5 coupon from Zantac's website and also a $3 ecoupon through Shoprite. I got a 41 cent overage which was applied to my $4.99 roasted chicken.

I paid $5.01 for both items including tax!

Last night I went to Waldbaums for yogurt.

10 Stonyfield Oikos Yogurt for $10. Used 1 $2/3 and 3 .50/2 coupons. That brought my purchase down to $5. Savingstar has a deal right now where if you buy 10 of these yogurts, you get $5 in your account which can be redeemed for a giftcard or deposited into your paypal. So in theory, the yogurts were free!!

Not pictured: 2 more packages of Paper Towels and 2 more packages of Toilet Paper.

Paid: $57.51, Saved: $110.79! And half of this isn't mine so my half came out to about $33! Chat Icon

If anyone has Scott's paper towels and toilet paper coupons, definitely head to Stop and Shop before Friday. As long as you don't buy the Naturals toilet paper, you get $7 in Catalinas!
