Exclamation Lets talk about using coupons!!!!

I have used coupons for so many years it is like second nature to me, I clip them weekly and then I have a friend save her coupons from the paper for me also. This is the first year where I am saving all of my grocery receipts so I can total the savings from coupons at the end of the year. My very best savings so far this year is $58.30 on one trip to the store, that was so much fun!! Our local Von's grocery store had sent out coupons for $10.00 off if you spent $50.00, that combined with all the coupons I used that day and them doubling the coupons (for a short time they are doing this) I saved that much! Now that was fun!

CVS drug store gives out coupons for money off on your receipt, I just had one that had $7.50 off anything in the store and one for $4.00 off any purchase, I had a raincheck for Folgers Coffee at $5.49 for the large can, I just used that raincheck and both coupons and paid a total of $15.95 for 5 large cans of Folgers, that was a nice savings!!
Ok, what is your best savings, and do you use the coupons weekly? I feel it's like found money!

I use as many coupons as I can as well. I really love free product coupons! I can't remember what my very best deal was, right off hand. There have been many of them! I probably do best at Walgreen's. I really love it when I have a good product coupon, and then I end up getting the item free after rebate to boot! They are actually paying me to buy the product!

Okay, I remember a good coupon deal. One time, Target had a box of Nicorette gum marked down to $8.00. I had a coupon to get $10 off, then I turned around and sold it on eBay for $20! Gotta love coupons and eBay!

I am absolutely coupon crazy too!! The most we ever saved with coupons and in store (Giant Eagle) savings was about $75!!!! That was insane! My husband was so tickled, he started doing all the shopping just to see how much he could save...although I do remember him coming home with items I had never heard of before! lol! The best part about shopping at Giant Eagle is the fuel perks, though. Right now they are giving you $.20 off every gallon for every $50 you purchase, including gift cards! Last week we filled up my car for $6.00!!!

Being able to buy gift cards really helps...If we are going to go to dinner, we just swing by the grocery store and pick up a $50 gift card, and there's another $.20 off gas! Same with clothes shopping, etc! Does anyone else get fuel perks?

Nada, lol, but then again I live in a resort town, almost everything is costly especially in our small gift shops....and gasoline is more costly than down the hill....meaning I live on top of the mountain.....so down the hill (as I call it) gasoline is 25 cents or more cheaper...
