Here is my collection of The Goodlife Cat food trays. There are about 40 of them and I am rounding them up for Pumpkin. She eats 2 a day. I have got them all with the $1/1 coupons and scored them all for free. I have 40 more coming in and I am bidding on 40 more. I also have 70 $1.50/1 coupons too. At 77 cents a tray this is a HUGE HUGE savings for me. I am trying to get a 3 month supply for her. Also at target the $1/1 coupons are ringing up at 1.00 even tho the trays cost 77 cents each. Today I took 10 coupons in (I am buying them 10 at a time) and I have 2.30 overage so I got a gallon of milk for 2.79. I walked out paying 49 cents for my milk. Thats cheaper then Aldi's 99 cent milk. the $1.50/1 coupons are beeping at the register and they scale those down to 77 cents. my guess is if it is over a dollar, it red flags. But no matter, I am still getting them for free.

I would call Corporate or try scanning your card at the red kiosk and see what happens.

NICE, NICE picture of your cat food trays, Mari! I'll bet lil Pumpkin is so happy!

Well, we're off for our Caturday rounds. Hope you all have a great day!

Just got back a few moments ago from snagging a few end of the week bargains. VERY few though. The VERY best one was Fancy Feast at Target for .32 compared to .57 at our usual pet supply store. Tobias will be sooooo very happy with his cuisine. He won't eat anything else. Talk about a forer skinny stray making huge demands. LOL I've got my hoomans trained, he smirks proudly. NIGHT ALL! Can't wait for the morning!

I like the idea of a group I would be game for it..

No super good to pass up coupon deals here this week. We need milk and diapers though so I need to get some. Both girl's are on there last few diapers so I can't wait too long for a sale.

Oh this sounds heavenly! Thanks for posting this!

Aggiemom 50 cents for a can of soup is a good deal If I sent you some coupons, could you use them?

Hi All, Hope everyone has a great day today.

Sunny, how did your shopping go yesterday?

Hi styles!!!

Oh Sunny, it saddens me to see that you can't stock pile groceries. You just spend so much more when you can't grab it on sale with a coupon. But you do what you gotta do.

Maybe you can pick and choose what to stock pile. Like foods for meals such as soups and veggies. I just really hate to see you spend more then you have to.

That's great, Mari, about your washer!

You know that old saying - you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I could go on and on with the couponing/food failures here, but you get the idea! Let's just say - he is twice the person he was last year - thanks for trying to stockpile.

Another good thing is I know what to do and how to do it now - thanks to this thread!!! I'm still working it for grocery items I use - as well as my personal items from the drug stores!

I definitely agree, any savings is good savings!

Trying to get an energy wave to get the Sunday papers today ....

Hope you all are finding good stuff!

Happy Sunday! Just got back from the rounds. Sunny, I was going to ask if storage was the issue but I think I figured it out lol.

I almost have the opposite problem. With only my son and I home stuff isn't being used quickly enough! I have to nag him to eat up certain things lol.

I am rebuilding my stock after donating almost all my HBA stuff at Christmas. Picked up free toothpastes today (after ecbs) at CVS, a couple of toothbrushes and I have enough batteries now for a few years. Meijer has chunky soup for .99 so that makes for some cheap soup after coupons! Limit is 12 but I only had enough coupons to get 10 this round. Also got my free Orbit gum at CVS

I am so annoyed at myself though! Rookie mistake and it cost me $10. I put 10 Bestlife spreads in my cart for the pantry, checked out and totally forgot to take the coupons out of my pouch! I am chalking it up to karma, and giving a little back to make up for all the other free stuff I get at Meijer lol. Lesson learned, pay attention while shopping!

I got a new coupon organizer from E t s y and I love it! So much easier to carry around than a binder or filebox.

Now it's time to clean and do laundry

Furry, I probably could push the issue but have decided that I'm not going to. It was my stupid mistake, and I have taken Meijer for a lot of free stuff in the last several months with all my coupons. I have to give them money once in a while

G'Mornin' All,

Yesterday I bought three double stuffed papers. In the second set, there were no coupons. I was HOT and ready to call someone this morning but the last set had 3 extra sets So I have 7 inserts instead of 6

There is a question posed on one of the coupon sites, how much do you spend to save? That got me thinking. Now that I have my food storage, do I really need to get 3 double stuffed papers? I am going to better track the coupons I use from the paper and the coupons that I buy on line. I think it might be cheaper for me to just get one paper so that I will have the coupons on hand and then if there is a super coupon that I can really use, buy it from a clipping service. The cat food coupons that I have been buying, I have spent about 14 dollars but have bought more then 120 coupons (I haven't used them all yet and still waiting to receive 40) I am buying so many because this is something I would like to stock up about 3 months worth for Pumpkin which means I will need about 180 trays since I feed her 2x a day... and she has discovered she likes to eat. She's a piggy. So now I guess I need to figure how much I am truly spending compared to how much I am truly saving.

What about you guys? Do you know how much you spend to save?
