Dinty Moore Beef Stew

I got all this for about $20 with coupons so we are having Dinty Moore Stew for dinner!


Click on the thumbnail:

$20 for each picture or both pictures together?

Did you shop at Wegman's? I miss Wegmans! That's one of the most halarious things on FB...all the out of towners still mention how they miss Wegman's...I don't understand why because the stores (at least out here) all carry a huge inventory like Wegman's used to...can't put my finger on it outside of the double couponing and having things on sale that people actually buy...and good memories of course...

Did you double coupon? Seriously, I'm interested in knowing how you did this...I've been seeing these stories of purchasing hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars of groceries and am intrigued...tell your story!

BTW...no need to post what you're having for dinner for the next several months...looking at the pictures, we know now!

wow thats awesome!!
im gonna start using coupons also!! so smart! i use to use coupons it's great!! I need to start finding out where the coupons come from other than the sunday papers

Sis -

Google 'online coupons' and you'll be able to find a number of online sites. There are several types - some are tied to your local supermarket, some are general ones, etc. I can't remember the names of some of the more popular sites but maybe other folks here can assist.

I'm with you, I love saving money!

Twenty for both. Sort of like double coupons but way, way better. I shop at Rite Aid and CVS and match coupons with their sales and I just take home the stuff that is either free or almost free.

Dede's coupons is a great resource for coupons.

Oooh, I knew those laundry detergents looked familiar! I was going to do the same at Rite Aid because the detergent was a HUGE deal but forgot to go thru on Sat so missed it!

This is so good to know...I'll be all over this now!

When I was doing this kind of shopping faithfully I had an entire spare bedroom lined with shelves, full like these pictures. All I needed was a cash register and I got it all for pennies.

It's Proverbs 31 =)

Okay.......

Ok, I need some translations -

MQ = Manufacturer's Coupon

RR = r______ rebate ?
ivc = ?
OOP = ?

I know Rite Aid has the UP+ program (like that one... ), but I don't get the other abbreviations...

I went to CVS last night and missed some items but got rainchecks... I also discovered that they also put next week's circular online early (at least CVS does) so you can plan ahead and have more time to use the mail based coupon sites. Am still getting the hang of it...haven't had any major "blow my mind" type savings....YET!!

RR = Register Rewards. .... It's like CVS ECBs.

IVC = Walgreen's Savings Book Coupons... something value coupon.

MQ = Manufacturer's Coupon... generally, those from the Sunday Paper

IP = Internet Printable

OOP = Out of pocket

Go to www.afullcup.com where there are posts that give you great deal scenarios that will BLOW your mind.

This week, Rite Aid has all the stuff that I bought for FREE!

If you go to iheartriteaid.com, iheartcvs.com, and iheartwags.com; she has the coming savings circulars for the rest of the month.

Great!

I checked the afullcup.com website - awesome! Will check the iheart series during the week....

Thanks!

Welcome.
