The coupon game

Ok now I will explain the coupon game once again here.  When food items and cleaners go on sale that is when you use the coupons for that item at the stores.  When it is buy one get one free at the store then you can use 2 coupons unless the coupons states like 2 for a dollar off lets say.  Now also when things are like 10 for 10 dollars at the store check to see in how many coupons that you have and what is stated on the coupon also and you may get the 10 items for a dollar also if not less at the store.  With some things with the coupons here you can get money back as I say from the store.  What happends with that part of the coupon game is that if you have and item for lets say 75 cents and you have a coupon for 50 cents the grocery store doubles the coupon and you get 25 cents for the item off of the bill when that happends.  With that said it does pay off at times and this is what happends on the extreem couponing show on the TLC channel.  I refuse to buy coupons from sites also that sell them totally and some will pick them up from the sites totally while they are at it all.  Another thing that I have done is look on the internet for printable coupons and to send emails out to the companies that are out there.  It all works out for my place here.  With some stores you have to go to the service desk to get the printed coupons approved also.  Then this way you can check out the stores policies also while you are up at the desk.  What gets to some folks that know me around here in the area is that I will check on the policy and go from there with a phone call also before I leave the house here.  So with that said it does not hurt one bit to use the coupons at all for the household.  Another thing is do not be hooked on one product also for the household.  With children in the household it is tough also with things like bath soap and laundry soap.  So what I would do since the kids were not breaking out from the Aldi laundry soap I used that for years in the household.  So yes I understand about that part of things.  With everything going up and up at the stores it pays off to use the coupons and the rebates also from some of the stores around areas of where folks are at.  Another thing that I have done around the trailer and the house here is that I try to find samples of things that I will use for the household.  That part also pays off for the households in my eyes.  All I can say is try out the coupons and you will find out sometimes it does pay to use the samples and the coupons for the household.  So now at this point in time I am getting back into the coupon game around the household here and it will work out for the best here for the both of us in the household.  With that being said around here I have been streching out alot of things alot more for the household here and with the coupons on top of it all it is a scary thought to alot of folks here in the area also that know me.  Since I have became cheaper around the trailer and the house here some folks have dropped me like a hot rock also while all of us were at it.  That is when I first started out 16 years ago with the coupons and other things.  So after some things exploded with the one couple at the trailer, all I get is oh my wife this and that and this is what she is doing around our place now.  And after the gal threw a fit on what I was doing with everything in the trailer she has not even bothered to come to the house here nor face me niether in what had happened at all.  This is part of the reason of why my Husband is letting me do what I want to do for the coupons here at the household now so I can knock her off her high horse or pedistal one then mop the floor this the gal in what I can do for alot of the things for the household here once again in our eyes.  As my Husband told me do what you have to do with the coupons and streching out thing in the household and mop the floor with the both of them totally in my place.  I looked at him and asked are ya sure you want me to do this my way totally here he told me go for it all.  So I have the green light from my Husband here at the household and it picked me up around the area lastnight even here to where I felt normal again.  The poor man told me pull out full out warfair on the couple and be done with it and after almost 20 years of being togeather the man knows me that well.  So now I will pull out everything that I have and go on the coupon hunt from the net around my place here and look for the sales and many other things that I can do to cut even more from some of the bills here.  That does not include the house bills around here also in that I want to cut even further also.  So that will give me the extra push around here to do what I have to do for the household here and just mop the floor with some that I know here in the area.
