more coupon savings

April 18th, 2008 at 04:02 pm

I was lucky enough to get alot of the 90 cents off dukes mayo coupons and our local lowes foods will double them. the pint jar is on sale for 1.69 . by using these coupons, i was able to get the mayo free plue 11 cents overage on each jar I bought. plue I had 20 of the free cat food coupons that just came out in the papers so we are set for mayo and cat food for a long long time!
with the way the cost of food and such is going up each day, i am trying to stock pile about everything we need. i found flour at the dollar general for 1.25 for 5 lbs so i got a few bags and have them stored in the extra fridge we have. also a friend of ours sells us flats of eggs ( 30 eggs per flat) for 2.00.
people need to start saving as much as they can cause with the cost of gas rising each day, they will need the stock pile just to be able to feed their families.

rain barrels

March 15th, 2008 at 07:21 pm

we have been in a drough for a long time now and we have set up 4 55 gal rain barrels to catch rain so we can water our garden this summer and not have to worry about the well going dry. its raining good right now and my hubby and I just finished filling up one of the barrels with rain we caught in 5 gall. buckets and poured in the barrels. there is 3 already filled and one has peters professional in it so when we water the plants, they will get a little fertilize with it.
the barrels are wonderful and will help us alot this summer if it dont rain on our garden again like it did last yr. we didnt have enough barrels last yr and it didnt rain for months on end and the barrels were empty before the garden finshed.
this yr, we are better prepared.

where I live

I live near Hickory.Lowes is a grocery store that is in nc. There is alot around here. Its not the same as the hardware stores. Its called Lowes foods. They double up to .99 cents limit 20 coupons per trip. harris teeters does the same but they have lots of restrictions on what you can use . I have been told by their checkers that I can not buy 3 of the smae items and use 3 coupons. EX: I had 3 coupons for .50 off tide. I was buying 3 tide's.but they told me that I could only use one coupon. Their coupon policy is very confusing and seems to change per checker. I avoid them unless it is a "Have to" issue. I have stopped there because I was close to it and needed something on the way home. BUt other than that, I avoid this harris teeters.

Lowes Grocery store trip 3/2/08

March 3rd, 2008 at 01:15 am

Today I decided to go by lowes and pick up a few things. I , of course, had my coupons with me cause I never leave home without them. Lowes will double all coupons up to .99 limit 20 coupons per trip. I gathered up all the items that I needed and went to the check out. One of my favorite checkers was working and she is always asking how I save so much with coupons. Today was GREAT! After she scanned my groceries and my rewards card, she started with the coupons. By the time she was finished, Lowes OWED ME 1.03!!!! I was PAID by the store to carry our 63.48 worth of groceries!!!!! I dont know who was happier. Me or the Checker!
I have been keeping a record of my coupon savings since the first of Jan this yr and my total is now 568.78 saved and this is only march!!!!
Lord how I love coupons!!!
