The past 2 days have been a whirlwind...they were paying me $4 to take 4 boxes of playtex tampons & 2 edge shave gels after q's, you got a $10 catalina...yesterday I got 40 playtex & 20 shaving gel, ended up $60 to the good. Found out today that energizer was also included in this cat deal, I had some hot tear pad coupons from forever ago...I walked out w/ 40 ten packs of batteries & about $11 profit on those. Got another 32 boxes of playtex & whatever in shave gel..so steak, baked beans, cheese..lost track..all free from catalinas.. I have $60 left in cats...and plan on doing more rounds. Whew..tired!

That said..gotta finish unpacking so I can head out again!

In the area I live, we can't get the overage. The stores will only give you up to the amount of the coupon.

The overage comes in the form of a catalina coupon that pops out after your order is complete..ie, I pay $4 for the transaction, get a $10 off your next order coupon....wash rinse repeat...

Otherwise the only store to actually give overage on the spot around here is walmart, it is listed in their coupon policy online.

I can hardly contain my excitement over finding this thread that I can not even read it all! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE couponing!
I read as far as meems' posting about afullcup and hotcouponworld doing the matchups and although they are *good*, I believe this lady does THE BEST.
She does coupon matchups for the grocery stores for most of the south, which would only be beneficial to some of you, BUT, she also does Target, CVS, Walgreen's, Walmart, Staples, Office Depot/Max and Rite Aid! (Maybe a few others) So even if she doesn't do your grocery store, you could still use the site for all the others.
She puts out every stores weekly ad with the match ups in a nice format that allows you to click and print your shopping list and it includes all the coupon links for printable coupons that are available for an item that is on the list. keeps ya from having to search for them. Not only does she do the coupon matchups, but she post incredible deals and steals that she comes by, however she does it. I think it's magic!
Wanna know what it is?????



Do ya?????




Ok........southernsavers.com

And as far as coupons themselves. i did read a few post where people commented that they never get the good coupons or no coupons at all, well, there are always clipping services that you can use. Personally, I like wholecouponinserts.com because she sells them as "combo packs" and I usually want at least 6 anyway. Sometimes my neighbor wants to get in on some deals, so we split a 10 pack. They come out of the Tampa Tribune and are always LOADED with all the good ones.

Sorry for going on for so long. Did I mention I LOVE couponing?
And not to add insult to anyone, but my grocery store, Harris Teeter doubles everyday up to .99. Once about every 4-6 weeks the have double doublers where they double up to $1.98 and just last week, we had TRIPLES!!! Any coupon up to .99!!!
Loved it. Got a boat load of Smart Balance milk for .75/gal!! That retails (here) for $3.99/half gal!!!!

Ok, I'm done.
Now go check out southernsavers.com

Is anyone interested in joining mypoints? Send me a PM so I can refer you if so...I get a $50 gas card min of once a year, I do all my shopping through mypoints, mostly I get my points by opening their mail & clicking on the link, it's usually 5 points for every email you click through. I let them accumulate in my mailbox then do them all at a sitting...minutes of my time. This is the only rewards program I do now, I've been doing it for 5-6 years.

All ready do mypoints. I absolutely LOVE it. I have gotten so many rewards by shopping online and clicking on emails. I, too, have been doing it for about five years now.

What exactly is mypoints, and what does it do?


You sign up for email categories (check them all! The more emails, the more points) that come to your inbox, you click on the link, let it load...if not interested, close, done. If you are shopping online, I go to mypoints site then shop from their links, you get so many points per $ spent. I have about 7,000 points right now, closing in on another gift card..I usually get gas gift cards, target ones are great too...

LOL - I was just catching up on my My Points emails and surveys. :)

I also use Bzzagent (I'd be glad to send you a link) and they 'pay' in My Points points. You also get to try some nice stuff and get good coupons periodically to encourage you to try the product and "bzz" about it.

Also - if you have a master card debit and or regular card you can register at Master Card Rewards for "points" when you shop using your Master Card. I'm piggy backing with my bank's program and just got a $250 prepaid master card with my rewards - but I use my debit for everything! including online bill paying.

Hey Coupon Queens and wannabes: this weekend is the P&G easy saver coupon weekend - I'm planning on getting extra papers (not like last month - I'm going out BEFORE church this time!!) you can check out the coupon preview at Update: Sunday Coupon Preview - Cincinnati Coupons, Save money, Grocery - CincySavers.com

(this is for the midwest - some coupons may be different in your area, you may want to google "coupon preview" - then your area)

Did you know you can earn points on coupons that you print from the MyPoints site? They have the same coupons that smartsource offers and when you use them, you get points! I've been doing that for a few months now and they actually do credit you for using the coupons. I've been with mypoints since they opened, have gotten over $1000 in gift cards. They rock. You do have to keep an eye on them though, they don't always credit you for shopping.

Another great place to shop and get cash back is ebates.com ... I use them even more for shopping because you get actual cash back four times a year and they have a ton more stores than Mypoints. If you want to join, (shameless begging for referrals) PM me with your email address and I'll invite you! Or just put my email as the referral. (my nick, drop the "love" and add a "miss" in front of it @hotmail.com) I get $5 for every person who joins and makes a purchase through them. Last year, I think I made about $500 in cash back and referrals. (most of which I donated to the red cross)

I don't qualify because I lie - lol - but i want the 5 points. lol And if it makes you click through to another website then I head straight for the unsubscribe - THAT took me a couple of months to figure out! DUH.

I'm with you, I lie so I don't have to do the stupid surveys. But, I do want the 10 points you get for just trying. Cleo is correct, watch your points. I have caught them a few times with not crediting my points.

Nobody was ever getting points early on for the coupons, so I stopped trying, might have to try again.

Last week was the Dawn, fabrese, Dole, bic razors run, after run after run..I got several rainchecks for razors since those went fast. They also gave $10 pre paid card for every $30 of P&G, so I have several of those to send in. I'm kinda happy this week is a slow week. Other than toothbrushes & toothpaste..not much exciting, I think I'll enjoy the week off after 2 crazy weeks in a row.

I'm doing the tooth paste and tooth brushes because I'm helping a friend fill 700 shoe boxes for charity. We're shipping them out before Christmas. We've started collecting pop and beer cans to recycle to pay the shipping on them. Not sure where they are being sent this year. We include a couple of small toys and toiletry items.

this is interesting, https://savingstar.com/ You register your store loyalty cards and then add coupons through the site. You then get $ after you used the coupons. I don't know if it's a glitch or what but every time I have used a coupon loaded to my loyalty card I am able to use a printed manufacurer's coupon on the same item.

$4.50 for a movie ticket - not a bad deal if you go to the movies (I think you can buy up to 9) The Best Daily Deals in Fandango - Two Movie Tickets
that link will give me the deal for free if 3 people buy it, I'm pretty sure anyone who buys the deal gets their own personalized link but if you don't want to go that route, just go to livingsocial.com and search for the deal
