Hi Laura! You are a pro in my book!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes, my husband was very patient and even helped get some things I forgot. He knew I was on a mission and goes for the ride.

Hi Holly,
You had a great shopping trip for triple coupons! And that’s impressive that you had the whole family there together with you; I think my hubby would get impatient with me, because I can take a long time, especially on my first trip during a triples event.
By the way, you are too kind to say that I’m a pro… but you know me, I’m just a regular coupon-crazed mom who likes to stock up on free/cheap items whenever the stores have these wonderful triple coupons events. Not a pro, still a lot to learn, and it’s so nice to find other like-minded savers/couponers like yourself.
Talk to you soon!
Laura

Hi Eric,

That is fantastic! I’m impressed. Well, my cashier was excited and started asking me how to find the internet coupons. I told her. She told me that she has a guy customer who comes every week and basically only pays TAX! Plus, she has a customer that buys 20 papers each week! Now, those are pros. hahaha!

That’s awesome. I made out with 48% savings at Shoppers yesterday. $97 dropped down to $51. (Here’s my haul: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fallenposters/4083776455/)

The cashier told me that they didn’t take internet coupons despite the sign posted next to her that said they took them up to $1. I argued with her until she asked another cashier that corrected her.

I didn’t do the catalina deals, but next time I’ll have to shoot for those.
