Okay, I know the supermarkets pretty much know which coupons are coming out and when but, lately, I've noticed something going on and am wondering if the supermarkets are intentionally doing this (probably so).

Okay, my supermarket had a sale on Campbells Soup --- Tomato and Chicken Noodle only --- 40 cents a can. (my supermarket doubles coups). Well, there was a coupn in the paper -- 40 cents off Campbells Soup, any variety EXCEPT tomato and chicken noodle.

They had Skippy PB on sale --- 2 for $3. Funny, the sale ended when the 75cents off 2 came out in the paper.

There have been many instances of this. I just can't remember any other specifics, but I had noticed it so many times that it just caught my attention and I started watching it. Either the item goes off sale when the coupon comes out or the coupon is very specifically geared toward what is NOT on sale (like in the case of the soups)

Has anyone else noticed this or am I just being picky???

I, personally, haven't noticed that but we have only one store that doubles up to five coupons (only on Wed. and Sat. and with a minimum $25 purchase.) Maybe it's more prevalent in areas that have more stores that are more liberal with their doubling policies than what we have here.

Luvthemouse-you will be getting an envie this week as I just received two from RRL38. Hopefully I will be getting three inserts in my paper tomorrow but we shall see.

DVCLAURIE05 - I will be sending an envie this week as I got three inserts.

It won't be big as I never received my first envelope this past week (hoping it's on it's way). I'll put in what I have though!

NYCDiane - I only shop at Super Target, and I've noticed that they actually line up their sales with coupons. Many times sale items will also be the last week a coupon for that item is valid. As ShiPooOwner said, perhaps it's a regional or specific chains of stores.

fairyprincess1 - sent you an extra envie on Thursday 2/10 and I will be sending this week even though it's optional.

Just wanted to report in with what was in our paper this morning. We received all three inserts: RP, SS, and GM. I hope yours did too!

Do restaurant coupons count toward the total saved for the month?

If so then

Do any of you use The Grocery Game online? I've used it for a few months now, just wanted to see if any of you use it and what you think of it.......

Sure, restaurant coupons count. I just realized I have forgotten to include them in my totals.

I'm not familiar with The Grocery Game but maybe other riders are?

You slacker, you!

I know how DD feels. I would go to bed with my kickball when I was about her age or maybe slightly younger.

It seems like they have things on shopper club that I have coupons for, actually. I did notice those soup coupons you're talking about though




Hey all! No worries about when you post your savings, as long as they are green so I can pick them out as I go through the posts, and they are in the current month. We're up over $$$$$$$$1,100 so far in Feb!! $$$$$

 

[ColoBlu6]

I still have to find last weeks receipts so that I can post my savings . But I can post the free 1st birthday cake coupon I used at Safeway yesterday. It was a coupon for baby's 1st birthday cake with the purchase of a 1/4 sheet or larger

Safeway Coupons $9.99

Ever since the kids moved out in September, I have not been doing "good" grocery/coupon shopping. I've only been stopping in for odds and ends. I did a "good" on over Christmas for party supplies and then slacked off again. I had 16% Foodperks expiring this month and I have two business trips the next two weeks so I got my butt in gear and did a "good" trip today. Total savings was $59.12.

Coupon Savings was $19.70

I am also getting an envie together to mail to cjnix29 in the morning. I know it's an optional week but I just got a LOAD of coupon inserts from my mom (they were out of town the whole month of January) so I'll be working my way through them to put an envelope together.

Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Let's see if I can change it for you. I think it should work. I think hanutedmansionmomma will catch that now.

Honeybunches, going to the p.o. now with your envie.
