They have begun a new series of them on Wednesday evenings at 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. It has certainly gotten people talking about coupons! However I think the key word there is "extreme." Those people are nuts! Who gives up a shower for 100 rolls of toilet paper!?! What single woman needs 50 antacid? Who spends 49-60 hours a week on their coupons? Do you? <br />
<br />
Kris and I were talking about it the other day. I don't spend 40 hours a week on coupons, nor have the goal to clear shelves. I spend 1-2 hours a week on blogs and cutting coupons (usually during Greys Anatomy) to help make ends meet for my family. I don't think I have ever saved 98% at Kroger. I am happy when I save 40-50%. I'm ecstatic when I get free detergent or toothpaste for our stockpile but I get 3 or maybe 6 of each, not 99! I am worried that the show is giving couponers a bad image and worring the stores that now seem to be tightening up their coupon policies and making it harder for the rest of us.<br />

It seems you will no longer be able to combine a ecoupon from <strong><em>Kroger.com</em></strong> with a manufacturer coupon. They will only give you the discount of the kroger.com ecoupon, not doubled, and not the manufacturer coupon. If that is truly the case, I guess I would quit getting the ecoupon at kroger.com and just use the manufacturer coupon which doubles for the greater discount. I wonder if this will apply to the <strong><em>Cellfire.com</em></strong> ecoupons also. I'll have to check into this further.

For those of you with a Droid, IPhone or other "smart" phone, <strong><em>Hip2Save</em></strong> has a listing of several savings apps for your phone <a href="http://hip2save.com/2011/02/best-apps-to-help-you-save-money-time-more.html">here</a>. I still have a DUMB phone. Maybe I can find a coupon for an upgrade!?Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07806040510646074066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728465496729771020.post-35421640917155909472011-02-21T11:49:00.000-05:002011-02-21T11:49:16.239-05:00SundaySaver: see paper inserts for the weekIf you do not get the paper or seem to be missing some of the sales inserts in your paper, you can always check what's on sale at <a href="http://www.sundaysaver.com/">http://www.sundaysaver.com/</a> where they have links to all the current sales inserts from Target to Kroger and everywhere in between. <br />
