Couponers

I've recently hit the couponing scene hard. Right before the 4th vacation and I'm wondering where you could go for old coupons, not printables?

I just found out 2 of my cousins coupon and well they are not that into it like me.. lol I hit em up for some oldies and some that are regional but I honestly don't want to pay for them b/c then I don't feel like it's a deal.

I only get what I need. I love the database but sometimes I'll have coupons and they won't show up and I'm like what? but I got that! I love the breakdowns and scenarios they post b4hand. I follow those and plan accordingly.

Do you follow anyone or know of any sites that do mainly food? I love the CVS, Walgreens and Target but we need FOOD!!!

TIA for any help.

Since you're in New England, do you have some of these stores?
Hannaford
Shaws
Market Basket

If you do then this is a good one to follow.

She also does Stop and Shop and Save-A-Lot scenarios.

ETA: She's also on Facebook of course!

I was also going to say not to rule out the CVS, Walgreens and Target for FOOD! Those reward programs can be used to buy tuna pckets, cereal, pasta, sauce, etc. Pair them with a sale and you can frequently get food for cheaper than the grocery. And with Target when you get the gift card with purchase many times you can use that gift card on food.

Hip2Save does a lot of Target info which includes food deals when available.

Couponing is not big in Canada - I think we have different rules... I love those extreme couponing shows though! So interesting to see the strategies for making the coupons work.

Good luck!

Thanks, Marie nope none of those stores Shaw's left about 6 years ago.
I'll ck the site out though, you never know what tips or sales might be useful for other stuff here.

I wish the coupons doubled at CVS/Walgreens like the cereal this week at Shoprite.. 12 boxes and the sale continues this week...

Heddy, my cbff is like that is so fake, that's a lie!! She gets so mad talking about that show.. I just lol and listen b/c I don't watch it.

I used to clip coupons. I fizzled out and just can't find the time anymore. I used to follow the Krazy Coupon Lady. I was able to get a discounted rate on the paper with additional sets of coupons in AZ... Not sure if you might have something similar wherever you are?
