I LOVE popcorn! PLEASE let me know when there is a good sale on that. Also, I use a lot of beans(black beans, pinto beans, refried beans) and canned tomatoes. (diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes) Do you drink your frozen milk? When are gonna get together? I'd love to chat!
Ok I will for sure on the popcorn. About a month or so ago I stocked up ($.50 per box)! So we have PLENTY, maybe too much lol! Black beans, pinto beans & tomatoes do go on sale w/ coupon match ups a few times per year, but refried beans I don't see too often :( but I will keep my eyes open!
As far as the milk goes YES we do drink frozen milk. Sounds strange I know, but it taste the exact same the only thing I dislike about freezing milk is the jug expands and until it thaws out it doesn't sit good in the fridge :)
What are you doing this weekend? Maybe we can meet on the north side of the springs (that's about an hour drive for me and probably close to that for you)? Let me know :D
I just started couponing and it seems like in order to really stock up on anything you really need a lot of coupons. How many papers do you buy and what size is your family?
I just started couponing too. Last week I paid $1 per box for Froot Loops. Do you think that's expensive or not? The boxes were not the great big box, but not small one either.
Laurine I buy 4-5 papers per week for my family of 4 (dh, 15 year old boy, 1 year old daughter & myself). You can always ask your neighbors too or friends/family members for their coupons! I really feel strong about at least 4 papers, but other couponers only buy one or two and order coupons on the hot items... it's really what works for you!!!
Tiffany $1 for a box of cereal is GREAT it's a lot better then $3 per box right? I still buy cereal at times for $1 ($1.50 for Captin Crunch), but I stock pile at $0.75 or less. Meaning I grab every coupon I can get my hands on :) but a $1 for a box of cereal is a good deal!
Andrea, I wish I could get together this weekend, but we will be busy. We are having a church work party. Soon though!!
Tiffany, I just paid $1.25 for Fruit Loops, in fact I bought 6 of them, but I did it b/c they had a promotion on them. (kelloggs bonus bucks, so when I get the $20 in the mail I'll have made money)
I think $1 for a box is awesome too!
