Do you Coupon? - Page 3

This is very true. But in order to save money, we need to use ecoupons as well. Every time you shop in the Internet, look for coupons there on coupon websites. You can save hundreds of dollars.

i was happy to see a couponing thread : )

i don't know if it is everywhere or maybe just this area, but i have noticed that a lot of times if something is on sale at the grocery stores there is also a coupon out there someplace at the same time.... so then i try and stock up on that item.

or i've noticed that some things rarely go on sale. so when they do i really make an effort to stock up/visit the store multiple days with multiple coupons, etc.

i've noticed somehting else lately (it might be from eating "homemade" eggs for the past few years!) sometimes the canned corn, or the canned tuna, or the whatever tastes GREAT, so i go and get more right away, from the same place/same shelf (Especially because it means, i likely had a coupon in the first place)

and i agree, i can't believe how many things i just always buy have coupons on their websites. (for example, no reason for me to every buy non toll house morsels every again- they give you more coupons than you'd ever need per year and i really love them best) 

also, i go to CVS about twice a year, waiting for there most excellent incentives and then go with coupons in hand.  and of course, as with everything else, planning planning and more planning is the key! plus that saves on gas and eliminates any temptations! 

btw, i do the couponing and my husband does the grocery shopping!   ;o

any other tips out there- favorite websites?  i like how krazykoupon lady is organised best. happy savings in 2013 chicken lovers! 

do any of you can? or have meat birds?

I will pipe in here.  I used to coupon like mad and had great savings stories but then a few years ago, when I decided as the grocery buyer for the household, that we needed to eat better, my couponing went down greatly.

What I mean is that we have gone to a more organic way of eating and sadly there are very few coupons out there for true organic products.  The majority of coupons are for mass produced government subsidized companies like Kraft, P&G, and the like.  I try my hardest to keep GMO items out of our diets and as pesticide free as I can get with our produce.  I also try my hardest to get grassfed meats and poultries.  It has been hell on our household budget since we are a single income homeschooling household but I have managed to make cuts in other monthly areas like internet, cable, etc...to help offset the increased cost of our grocery budget.

This is all another reason why I joined BYC.  We are getting our first chicks late next month so we can begin working towards our own eggs since we go through a couple dozen a week any more with a teen and tween in the house.  I am even considering adding a couple meat birds to our chick order so I can give that a try.  Maybe I am biting off more than I can chew but when I am paying $12-$14 for a free range whole chicken at Whole Foods...

Now, don't get me wrong, I can't seem to go totally organic although I would love too.  Those darn Oreos
