BTW Target cannot “arrest” anyone. They can only file a complaint.

That’s what I meant to say, but I clearly didn’t type it that way. Thanks for correcting me. :)

I felt it was rather odd. The people seemed obsessed and frankly, a little crazy.
Really disliked the mustard woman.
Really disliked the constant use of “super mom” for the other lady.
FWIW.

“Speaking of rebates, have you seen...”

Speaking of rebates, Staples has multi-purpose print/copy paper for 5.99 with a 5.00 rebate.

Thanks! It’s probably worth a Staples visit. Is this just through Saturday?

The future Mrs. Bartender locked me in the room and made me watch it. I was impressed by all the savings and techniques, but I really wanted to slap the **** out of the mustard lady.

Thanks for your continued posts and website (bookmarked).

Thanx for the info. Will hit Staples tomorrow since I am almost out of paper. BTW, last year they had a day when Walgreens did inkjet refills for just a buck. Hopefully they will repeat this year. I think it was last June.

divaforcoupons is an IDIOT. She actually has to resort to coupon fraud when there are TONS of great LEGIT deals out there? Pathetic. I’ve been doing the Airwick deal legitimately and it is beautiful. Today combined it with my Ken’s marinade deals. Picked up a dozen Airwicks FREE and 18 Ken’s Marinades. On those I really do need to stock up since I use about 2 bottles per week. Maybe will take a pic of that Ken’s Marinade stockpile when it is completed and post on in the blog.

I’m not too great at this yet, but did go to Ralph’s and download their store coupons to my store card as well as combining with other coupons from the paper saved $65 on groceries.

Great! :)

The best way to get really good at grocery store couponing is to ask questions and do everything you can to learn the coupon policies of the stores you shop in.

Do they double or triple under any circumstances? If they do, what are the limits?

Do they match prices? If so, can you use a manufacturer’s coupon on the items you price matched?

Can you stack manufacturer coupons on their store coupons?

Do they take competitor coupons? Can those be stacked with manufacturer coupons?

On a BOGO sale, do they let you use a coupon on both items?

Do they allow coupon overage to be applied to your basket purchase?

If you know all of that backwards and forwards for all the places you shop, you’ll be saving upwards of 50% on a regular basis.

I think Ralph’s is owned by Kroger, isn’t it? Kroger has some of the most coupon-friendly policies in the country. I wish I had one near me. Ralph’s might be different though.

If all of your supermarkets suck for coupons (like mine do), you can always use Walmart. Since they’ve clarified it, they’ve got a very workable policy for couponers.

It would take a computer programmer a few minutes to program the system so that you cant use your store “VIP” customer card more than once every 24 hours.

And it would take me even less time to just get a second card. And a third. Rinse, repeat. Just like CVS and their ridiculous limits. :D

Overage applied to the basket purchase is done quite often, since they are really cheating the buyer if they don't. They get reimbursed for the FULL value of the coupon, so they should give the customer full value towards their purchase. As far as doubles go, that comes out of the store's pocket and is kind of crazy to allow overage. But if they do, who am I to argue?

Like I said, we are all thanking God that we’re in the presence of your dizzying intellect.
