This is a store I’ve never shopped at but you posted the Gain deal this week and I had to stop by.
I really didn’t pay for anything today. That is really awesome!!! I did go to Big Lots to get 2 new coupon holders for $2. My old ones are falling apart. I started couponing heavily when I had my baby and the formulas were so expensive and I was working only 2-3 days. I would buy tho bogo catalina coupons off eBay and used them at Pathmark when they were accepting competitors coupons. And, I would use the formula checks that were sent from the manufacturer on top of it. I saved so much and I said to myself “if I am not making the money, might as well save the money.” I love your blog because you do the Shoprite match ups even though my store only doubles to $1.
Reader Maureen made a stop at Kroger’s. She’s a couponing newbie and did an awesome job.
I went to Kroger on Monday to take advantage of their Daytona 500 deal. Below is a list of everything I got and the coupons I used. I am new to couponing and have only been doing it for about a month, but I can’t believe how much I am saving already. I was so excited by my savings that I forgot my PIN number for my debit card at the register and had to let me husband complete the transaction.
