Of course, my big project this coming year will be to buy $50 gas cards for $20 or LESS by using coupons. It CAN be done but it does take planning.
ibtp

INBP?
PING!
Do you have to install that coupon printer?
Top 10?
In Before The Party?

The software...yes. Also it usually limits you to only one or two printouts. I prefer to get my coupons on the outside. You can even buy them online up to a couple of thousand. When you see a good deal and have the coupons for it, then stock up. I know have enough toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins (Marcal Small Steps) to last me until Spring. My cost was FREE. I only paid the sales tax. Same thing with toothpaste. But what I REALLY want is a year's supply of gas cards purchased for at least 60 percent off.
Can you do a brief post on couponing for those of us who on coupon challenged? Couponing for Dummies or something like that LOL.
“....election, I will NOT vote for an incumbent. It does not matter to me if he or she is a Democrat, Republican, Unitarian, or Vegan - it is time for the office holders to be replaced with a fresh crop of weasels. The current crop has feasted in the henhouse long enough.”
This part should be in red type, right? Maybe a mod can fix it for you.
It would take me HOURS to post what I have learned over the past few months. But the basic way to get stuff for FREE or next to nothing is a concept called "matchups." Basically you match your coupons up with stuff that is on sale at a big reduction. The best such price reduction is called BOGO or B1G1 (Buy One Get One Free). What many people don't know is that you can use coupons on BOTH items. The one being sold at the regular price and the free one. An example is the Fisher's Fusion trail mix on sale a few weeks ago. They were BOGO. Buy ONE bag of trail mix for $1.79 and get the other bag for FREE. Soooo... I had a bunch of dollar off coupons. I applied one coupon to each item which totaled $1.79. The coupons were a total of $2.00 (two one dollar coupons). Therefore I got two bags of trail mix for FREE and had an overage of 21 cents when I bought both. I stocked up bigtime. So when I bought 50 bags of trail mix, I had an overage of $5.25 which I could apply to other stuff. In my case I stocked up on Scotch Gift Wrapping tape which was on sale BOGO for $2.49. Since I had dollar off coupons for those, It only cost me 49 cents plus sales tax for two. Actually even less since my overage on the trail mix made it almost nothing for EVERYTHING. One of my best deals was buying 80 frozen buffalo wings PLUS a Porterhouse steak for about a half a buck TOTAL due to the big overage I had. That was my Porterhouse and Sam Adams beer week since I was buying those items plus the buffalo wings for only a few cents with the coupons and the overage.
And now you know why I am a coupon fanatic.
Your homework assignment is to research NeverPayRetailAgain.Net and HotCouponWorld.Com.
Ping for later
Wait, the DemUns discovered that Reidcare is a scam?
What crazy mistake of the universe let them be lucid enough to pull off the sheer amount of basic brainpower needed to figure that out?
Really, this is DemUn we’re talking about, where reality rarely intrudes!
They have earned Kewpie Doll coupons.
So your wife drops a few bucks to look good for you in the bedroom, while you eat a box of junk to expand yer ever-widening ass, and SHE’s the villain? ;)
She’s the villain for paying FULL PRICE for that Victoria’s Secret stuff. I could have easily given her $10 off coupons. BTW, coupons made possible my trip to Culebra. Bigtime. Oh, and porterhouse steaks are hardly junk.
Toblerone bars are, though. (And I was kidding.)
