When you go to coupon mom, be s...@ simply altered:<br /><br />When you go to coupon mom, be sure to check the coupon deals by state. You can look at the hy-vee sales each week and she teams up coupons with the sales. I try to only get the ones where I will get at least a 50% savings.<br /><br />Also she has a section that lists all the coupons available at that time.<br /><br />@ Donna:<br /><br />We do not have any stores in our area that double coupons. It is just unheard of, but I do think that you can get some really good deals if you watch for them. <br /><br />I get tired of watching women on t.v. shows that show you how much they save on their grocery bill by going to stores that double coupons. For once I would like to see someone like me that does strategic shopping and gets decent deals without double couponing. I believe there are more people out there that don't have stores that double coupon than people that have the double coupon stores.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943812281623696381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-74429235067559253902011-03-12T15:12:12.302-06:002011-03-12T15:12:12.302-06:00Wow Matha that is great shopping.

The 3 major stores here in St Louis will not honor other store sales or coupons,only one doubles coupons to.50cents and limits 12 coupons for doubling and they would never give change back like you experienced.

At Hy-vee they have a separate machine that prints these catalinas (or check out coupons) when you buy certain products. The catalinas I received from purchasing the ziplocks said "$2.00 off your next shopping trip at Hy-Vee." I got a total of $5.50 that day courtesy of ziploc.<br /><br />Sometimes they are advertised in the weekly ad sheet such as "buy 5 boxes of cereal and at the checkout you will receive a coupon for free milk." Then when you check out, this little machine prints out the catalina for free milk. <br /><br />I had no idea I was going to receive the catalinas that day for the ziploc bags as it wasn't advertised. <br /><br />As for the coupons, go to coupons.com, couponmom or couponsuzy to find some great basic coupons.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943812281623696381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-196530998502211992011-03-12T00:36:11.538-06:002011-03-12T00:36:11.538-06:00This is awesome Martha!!! oh my goodness!!! you ...This is awesome Martha!!! oh my goodness!!! you inspire me!! but I have to ask...what is a Catalina??
