Friend’s Trip to Giant on 03/22/10 – Saved 76%

Giant, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Wow!  My friend Ruth sent me her picture and transaction totals for her first coupon trip with multiple transactions!  She even  rolled over the $10 General Mills Catalina deal each time and did all of this with her 2 little girls.  I'm impressed! Since she is new to collecting her coupon inserts she didn't have all of the coupons available to  her.  She used the internet coupons and the  "Spring Savings" book.  She mentioned that some of the coupons beeped and the cashier pushed them through and it took about 15 minutes to check out.  She went early when the store was quite. Great Job Ruth! Transaction #1: Total before savings: $20.50 Total after sales prices & coupons: $9.93 Transaction #2: Total before savings: $21.16 Total after sales prices &…

Giant Shopping Trip – 3/19/10 – saved 63%

Coupons, Giant, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
This weekend was a super busy weekend for my family.  I had those $5 and $3 catalina coupons from last week's Giant trip that was to expire on 3/20/10, so I ran in Giant at 8:00 AM with my daughter (she drove the red car cart) and was able to do the General Mills catalina deal.  MoneyWiseMoms has a great post about it HERE. I spent out of pocket $12.72 and got a $10 catalina to use on my next purchase. This is what it all means to save. If you haven't gone yet here is some good news to make this deal even sweeter!  My friend Ruth mentioned as a comment that there is a new booklet of coupons at Giant available at the customer service desk called "Spring…

How do you organize your coupons?

Coupons, general, Uncategorized
I seem to get this question a lot!  I thought I would write a regular post about the way I carry my coupons.  More detailed information about my insert organization can be found  HERE. "How much time does it take you to organize coupons?" Minutes!  If I have more time and I'm in the mood, I'll spend more.    I just put them in my filing cabinet. "How do you organize your coupons? I don't know where to start?" I use the Couponizer that I carry with me, just because it is small and easy to carry in my purse.  I would LOVE to have a large binder or box but I'm afraid that I would lose it or my husband would commit me.  He loves that I save so much…
