Looking into

I got to look into all the coupons and offers on the net here today. Lots of coupons around and rebates. Pluss all of the samples out on the net also. For the coupon use at stores a quick run down here, if it is a buy one get one free you can use 2 coupons unless the coupons states it. Now for the 10 for 10 dollars you can use 5-10 coupons for the items that you purchase. Again it depends on what the coupon states also. Also rebates come into play to save even more money around. Now I have not found many rebate forms out in the stores except places like Walgreens, Riteaid, CVS, and OfficeMax. It depends on where you shop at also. Now I have done fairly well off the coupons myself for the household. Today I did not have any coupons for the one store I went to but with the card I did manage to save over 26 dollars and get 250 points towards money off the gas. In how the point system works for the one grocery store is that for every 100 points that you get (100 dollars in groceries) you get 10 cents off. Unless they have it avertised as buy like 6 of the special products and you get like 200 bonus points. I know alot of folks who like the boxed mac and cheese I won't eat it hardly at all. I would rather have the homemade stuff than the box. Off the list that they had at the store I did get my 6 items that I will use and got the 200 points. Summer is coming and the grill will be going so that is what I did and crackers also. Both were on sale this week. I have found a cheap way of makeing the homemade mac and cheese its called Aldi or Save A Lot for thier stuff. It works out better for me in the long run. My Hubby laughs all of the time about what I do and he also knows that I will save money on the groceries eather way. Even Save A Lot has printable coupons on thier site for some of thier products. Even better yet in my book. I do shop both at Aldi and Save A Lot and will continue to do so. Prices have went sky high at Aldi around here once again. Pluss it is due to summer and being a Tourist Trap. Even the parts of my family that have been up here can not believe in how I can afford the groceries up here. I tell them all of the time coupons, sales and takeing the nickel deposits back helps. Now I have heard some folks complain about coupons. That if you get what is in the coupon stack from the paper you do not get proper meals from them. Well I have built meals out of the coupons that are worth the time and save the money to build the meals. Some folks do not plan out the meals at all in thier households and that is what gets them into trouble. I wright down all the meals that I want to make for the month and go from there. Yes there are some of the tree trunks in the spokes of the wheels sometimes and who shows up for dinner. When I say this I try to plan out and it does not always work. Then there are times where Yes I do alot of stuff that is from scratch also. Now alot of folks will tell me that is just plain out impossible to do if you are working. Not if you plan ahead and think of what and how to do something it is not impossible to do. I have found a ton of coupons by going to the web sites of places that I shop at and the products that I get. Also I have made phone calls to the companies while I was at it. The worst thing they can tell ya is no get the sunday or wensday paper for the coupons. I say fine you will loose alot of money if you want me to do it that way then. With the product going on sale and the coupon the major company has lost money with me. Be firm but not totally firm about things.
