I did great to day at Target after I used my coupons. All my groceries rang up 225.07 at the register and after my coupons I only spent 143.90. It was awsome!
I did spend a lot of time preparing my coupons before I went sorting them out. I had ones for Targert...ones for CVS and Walgreens. I saved a lot this week so it was worth it. Target even took my free Oxiball detergent coupon with not problems...it even scanned.

I used coupons for uncle bens & delomonte canned veggies, yoplait yogurts, lettuce, cottenelle, tide, oxiball, scented oils, cereal, oatmeal, betty crocker, soup, pantene, crest, deoderant....and more.

That is awesome! On average I save 20 -30 dollars a week with coupons but I have never been able to save that much.

whats teh secret? I never save that much with coupons.

I Had Another Awsome Savings Last Night When I Went To Target. I Spent 165.02 But After Coupons The Total Came To 80.12. I Saved 85.00!!!!

What I Do Is Collect All My Coupons...sunday Paper (sometimes When I Am At Work At The Hospital I Will Steal Coupons From Papers Laying Around), On-line Coupons, Target Coupons From Their Website. Then I Will Look Ans See What Is On Sale. At Target You Can Double Up Coupons Or Triple Up On Coupons. They Will Allow You To Use A Manufacture Coupon, Target Coupon And A On-line Coupon Together For One Item. Sometimes They Pay Me!!!

This Time I Saved On Progressive Soup, Glade Light Shows, Yogurt, Cottenelle Items, General Mills Cerial, Quaker Oatmeals, Mr. Dash Marinades, Betty Crocker For Backing And Gummies, Pillsbury Items, Dog Food, Cat Food And Smart Ones Frozen Entrees.

How do you organize your coupons? How much time do you think you spend?

Whoa now that is some savings. I had to argue with my Target once when I had Target coupons and mfg coupons- the cashier and the head cashier said one coupon per item- I kept telling them that they take their own coupons and mfg coupons- but they would only take one or the other- so I called CS and they sent me out 5 free $3 off coupons for poor customer service. I saw the lead cashier the following week and he just smiled as I walked by and I said "you must have heard that you take both Target and mfg coupon huh?" and I just kept walking. Way back when I used to work at Cub Foods and they would always take Cub coupons and mfg coupons- sometimes people would have more coupons that items they were buying

I do the same thing you do with your coupons- I collect from online, Target, and the Sunday paper- I also get my mom's- since she doesn't use all that many coupons theses days. I have them in flip file- coupon organizer and just sort them by groups- haircare, beauty items- like lotions, Dental, Drugs, Paper products, Baby- then I have a seperate one for food items and sort them by baking goods, frozen and meats, dairy, snacks, canned goods/condiments. It really helps if I only need a few things to be able to go right to that section and quick flip thru the coupons I have. Check with some stores as Cub will take expired coupons up to 3 months old- when I used to work there they never had a date limit on it- but the last time I went they said it was 3 months.

Wow!!! Thanks for the doubling tip

I was wondering if you knew the best way to find out stores policy on coupons?

I just ask at Customer service or call their customer service line. I knew about Cub and expired coupons since I used to work there- but have asked at other stores- Walmart and Kmart if they take them- but I think it is rare that Cub does it. The only store around me that doubles is Rainbow and only on Wednesday- up to 5 coupons- so I only shop there on Wednesdays

teach me more , I need to save more at the grocery store.:D
