Coupon Train ~~ New Riders Welcome!

Who's going to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow (or at least the commercials?! :rotfl:) I was going to post a poll for us but I just realized I have NO idea how to post a poll! :rolleyes:

I will be watching it...not that interested in the teams this year (Bills fan:laughing:), but I'll use any excuse to put out snacky food and eat chips and dip:cool1:

I might not have a choice, we'll still be snowed in. It would be my luck, I've had my Suburban for 6 years and we hardly get any snow and the year I trade in the Suburban for a Oddyssey we get record amounts!!!! I really loved my Suburban but the trade in value was too good of a deal to miss but I guess I should have missed it.
 
tinytink...got two envies from you today. thanks! We are buried in snow here too! already been out playing in it, but don't want to drive in it...not even in my jeep!
 

Stahshee, mailed out a big ol' envelope to you today! Enjoy! (More to go out early next week after I finish sorting the huge pile I got from Princesspaige and whatever I can't use from tomorrow's paper.)
 
oh my goodness! sent my husband out 5 hours ago for his first grocery trip without me.....he isn't home yet and a phone call just now tells me he isn't halfway through the big store:scared1:Glad I went through the coupons before for him:rotfl2:

We will be watching the Super Bowl......maybe....we will definitely eat the goodies.:lmao:
 
Dznybound-I didn't get yours this week. :confused3 I know I usually get it by Thur.or Friday at the latest.

Five hours and not even halfway through? :scared: My DH would've thrown the coupons in the nearest trash can about 4.5 hours ago and been home with half the stuff on the list and other stuff not on the list that he thought "I'd like". :rolleyes: :rotfl2: I guess that's why I try to do all the shopping but I know you can't get out right now. How's the foot doing? :flower3:

I will say that he did have 4 stores to go to (Costco, PetSmart,Sunflower Market and King Soopers) the other stores had little lists, Kings had the majority of the food list.

My ankle doesn't give me too much pain....but not being able to put weight on it makes potty breaks fun to figure out!!;):lmao: My surgery will be Wednesday morning at 7:30 my time. The dr. will be putting in 6-8 screws and a plate in. My friend told me to make sure they didn't leave any loose....I said how would I know the difference? I've already got lots of them loose.:rotfl: I am hoping the pain isn't too bad after the surgery.

That took a while, my mailman must be dreading the snow.
 
Just had to brag on a few of my coupon savings today. No one else cares! :laughing: I'm always excited when I can combine a Target Q and a mfr Q! I'm not achieving anything like the super savers I see in this forum, but it's good for me.

* Aveeno baby lotion $4.99 - 75 cents off Target Q (from baby mailer) - $2 off mfr Q = $2.24
* GE CFL flood light $5.99 - $2 off Target Q - $1 off mfr - $2.99
* Johnson's Baby Shampoo on sale for $3 - $2 off Target Q (from baby mailer) - 75 cents off mfr Q = 25 cents!

You can ALWAYS tell us the good news. We understand! :lovestruc Combining a store coupon with a mfg. coupon = joy! :yay:
 
I did my first coupon shopping yesterday... and bought a whole bunch of items that I never buy! ugh. How do you resist buying things you never buy when "ohhh I have coupon for this.. its cheaper to try it than normal." I spent a TON more than I usually do "trying" new things.

give me some super shopper tips!
 
Mickeyholic,

I will be sending out an envie tomorrow. I won't be big because I haven't received any from my buddy since I mailed this past week.

Sometimes having a coupon lets me splurge a little on something special (ooh! The good ice cream...and with my coupon it's 60% off the normal price! Nom nom nom nom...).

In general I just stick to my philosophy of using coupons for things I buy anyway, or using a coupon to buy a different brand of the same item because it's cheaper. (not my usual laundry detergent...but with the coupon and the store sale it's $3 for something I usually pay $8 for? SOLD!)

The game that I play with myself is "can I get everything I need to feed my family for a week and PAY LESS FOR IT THAN I DID LAST WEEK!"

I'm definitely not a super shopper when it comes to stuff like this and I know it's hard to resist temptation. :guilty: Maybe something like this would help when you know you shouldn't buy it just because you have a coupon but you really want to try it. Tell yourself you can't buy it unless first of all it's on sale and then set a limit to the new and wonderful products you will permit yourself to buy each week. So let's take Cover Girl mascara for example. I have a $1 off coupon for it, but I won't buy it unless the product is on sale this week for $4.99 instead of $6.99 and each week I promise to not go over an extra $5 ( or whatever figure you want to set for yourself) for your splurges. Maybe that would work? Maybe?? :rotfl:
 
Princess81499- Envie for this week is in the mailbox waiting for pick up tomorrow. I put some extra coupons in my kidstuff book in there maybe you could use them...
