I think to really get the "deals" you have to live somewhere with a lot of competition (we only have Kroger and Walmart in my little city and the larger city next to me has those, Target, and Meijer and they don't seem to compete with each other much. The Amish bulk store often has great discounts on commercial food items (you just don't know what they will have) and there is a grocery liquidator nearby who sells a lot of organic brands at really low prices (no coupons needed!)<br /><br />So far, I am up to 13 Swagbucks!<br /><br />Yes, I think most of the coupons are for pre-packaged foods.<br /><br />I find it amazing that all of the hardcore coupon shoppers on the Eat from the Pantry challenge seem to have meager stockpiles!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710803293760054504.post-63433742738940209592010-01-16T06:04:11.199-08:002010-01-16T06:04:11.199-08:00That's my problem—coupons are, 99% of the time...That's my problem—coupons are, 99% of the time, for things we never buy and rarely use, even if someone gives them to us. And I'm not organized enough to use them properly anyway . . . now, what I really would like is a coupon for 25% off a 10-pound bag of pinto beans, or something similarly useful!anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945200318776775991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710803293760054504.post-28884372454867254502010-01-15T18:16:00.015-08:002010-01-15T18:16:00.015-08:00I used to be an avid couponer and grocery stockpil...I used to be an avid couponer and grocery stockpiler. I was also part of a coupon swap. I saved a lot of money and got a lot of food and health and beauty stuff.<br />Then I got interested in local and organic stuff and that kind of went out the window. ;)<br /><br />We don't have stores that double or triple coupons here. For a brief time, a couple of grocery store chains let you bring in 4 coupons that they would double. Like you, I found I had to be really organized when using so many coupons and applying them to the store sales. Do you find that the majority of the coupons are for pre-packaged food?<br /><br />I'm also enjoying knowing what I have on hand as part of this challenge too. I'll have to check out the Swagbucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
