I bring all flyers for stores that price match. Price match everything I can. Sometimes save up to $50.

Also am a hoarder. I got around 60 boxes of grits/oats in my place. Buy 50 cans of tuna at a time.

Saves in the long run if you use it on a daily basis.

Price matching to a store where item is on sale
Double coupon
Manufacture coupon

If these three stars align, buy that shit.

AH I realize you're a gimmick and being silly but don't buy all that meat at once. It'll go bad or get freezer burned before you eat it

I notice big sales trend.

Advil/Tyelenol is at it's cheapest when "Back to School" sales are on

About once a year I'll see tuna dirty cheap for a quality brand

Oats pretty much always 2 weeks worth for $5. I just buy alot cuz I get points for free movies with my debit card. haha saving everywhere! never paid for a movie in the last year

Or if your power goes out for an extended amount of time that's money down the shitter.

AH is a gimmick account?

I use coupons all the time, mostly for non-food items.  Rarely is there a coupon for the food I buy - ie; fruits, vegs, meats, but a $1.50 off mascara, Excedrin, $2.00 off lotion, etc. adds up over time and only on the things I would normally buy.  I always look for coupons on more expensive items.  For instance, usually $25 off my $90 Latisse...

Yeah food couPons are shit. Usually processed stuff like lunchables for kids. But occasionally for soup, sauces and cereals

ONE thing to consider, everyone- ALWAYS compare the GENERIC item (Let's say WALMART "Equate" brand) to what brand-name item would have cost with the coupon.  A LOT of times the GENERIC item wins!!!

Oh absolutely, just watch the quality of product.  The name brands are like this too. For examPle, regular price Gain detergent is cheaper than Tide detergent with a coupon. But gain smells like sour ass.  :-\

I use Equate brand Cetirizine Hydrochloride 10mg dose @ $22 for 72 tablets

Reactine for 80 tablets is over $50


Add them figures up and there's some great savings.
