How did you get all that if you can only double 5 coupons a day?
ReplyDeleteOur local store allows us to do 5 per transaction. I was careful to only get a few of each item each day so that I was always leaving plenty for other couponers. Looking at the shelves today, there were still plenty off FREE items left.
ReplyDeleteYou must have made friends with your paper carrier, or someone who works for the FMN :) I don't see how you could have left anything for the rest of the couponers who don't have such connections. I know here in Greenville, the shelves are bare and they aren't restocking every night.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that your store does not re-stock. That is so unfortunate. And I am also sorry that you have a shelf cleaner at your store. I can assure you that I only shopped 3 days this entire week and waited until later in the week so that the local shoppers would have their opportunity to stock up. Each trip I made I got no more than 5 of each item and left plenty behind. And, I was kind enough to leave extra coupons on the shelves of the free items as a nice "Coupon Fairy" surprise! Please, no haters. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think what you do is awesome and inspiring Keri! You shop wisely for your family, teach us how to do the same and have us in mind as you shop leaving surprises! Keep it up girl! Im looking forward to your next blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sayori!
ReplyDeleteI love it "Coupon Fairy!" I will do the same when I am shopping. Especially when stores, like JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby or Michael's have 40-50% off. If there is not something that I want, I will pass the coupon along to another customer. I also leave coupons next to items on the shelves at stores.
ReplyDeleteDo you use all the items you purchase? I have been focusing on just what we will use (stock up on body wash, dish soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc...). I have been doing well, in my opinion, but I am anywhere close to saving as you are. I am keeping track of my totals each week. I really enjoy this. I love to save and love to help others save as well. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful group!! Please keep sharing.
Rett, thanks so much! I don't use everything that I get. A lot of times Walgreens and CVS will have a "Money Maker" on an item that I dont use but get it just to help build my ECBs or RR's up. The stuff that I don't use I give in gift baskets, donate to charity or sell in a yard sale. Of course, I stock up on everything that we do use and have enjoyed trying out new brands and new stuff, especially when it is free! :)
