Hi Le!
Yes this has definitely been very helpful for our family as we are spending less $ and getting more items! One of my favorites is the free TP from cottonelle! I save on average 40-50% each week at Kroger with using paper coupons and loading my Kroger card. Soup, cereal, deordant/shampoo easiest to stock pile. This has been great!
I'm very excited about this, I've been saving average of 70% at Kroger (just shop coupons there) and 50-60% at Meijer. I still do my "main" shopping at Meijer for things I don't have a coupon for. We're slowly adjusting to not being so brand-loyal, that helps. We have a good stock of cereal, snacks and poptarts(which I never bought before!) and of course toilet paper and the soap buddies. Starting to stock toothpaste, deoderant and razors. Now there isn't anything that we really "need" - which I love. I'm just getting the best deals and relaxing some on the time I was spending searching every store for the deals. I do need to organize our storage area better, things are sort of all over - but since we are in the middle of finishing the basement it will just have to be this way a while! Thanks again for all your help, this has been wonderful!
Hi Le! I attended your class at Shannon's house about 5-6 weeks ago. I have been saving around 45-50% at Kroger. I've found that it's easiest for me to stockpile meats and other things that I can freeze. I've also added to my bathroom stockpile - toothpaste, toilet paper, soaps, etc. By shopping the sales, I've added a little bit of variety to our meals (and snacks) and it's been fun to find new recipes and try new meal ideas out! Thanks for all of your help - you are a blessing!
TP, soap,razors,toothpaste(lots of colgate) dishwashing liquid is easy to stockpile. I also have TONS of Kraft cheese in the freezer. I do most of my shopping at Kroger and CVS. For some reason it seems to me like there's lots of fine print with Walgreens. I have to have at least as many items as I do coupons (which they do count RRs as coupons). I've had to buy lots of candy in order for my transactions to work. Anyone else have a problem with this?
oh yes, this has definately changed our family! I didn't use coupons at all before this, how crazy was I?!! I save at least 40-50% or more each week and bring home so much more! Toiletries is easiest to stockpile. I always wonder why Walgreens and CVS would sell groceries and other items, and thought who would go there for that stuff! Now I know why!!! I have also become more concious of what I am buying at other stores. I either want a coupon or a great sale, and if not, I'm waiting till I get that! Thanks Le!
