TP idea for ya! Charmin coupons are out for $2 off a pack of the basic tp. The 4 pack rolls were on sale at my grocery for $2.50 each so $0.50 for 4 rolls of Charmin basic and you can use up to 4 coupons... PS I also follow the coupon ladies blogs to get ideas.

but charmin is not cost effective...need about 4 rolls of charmin to equal 1 roll of Scott..charmin gets used up too fast..at 50 cents for 4 rolls that does come out to the same price for a roll of scott....but that would not be a regular purchase...you can name the store that has it on sale...as it is not specifically saying that store is a MS assignment..

You have to be careful with that one, though. Some grocery stores actually don't split the cost on one item, you have to get two of them to get the deal.

One of my problems with grocery shops (among others), is picking up the product whenever I evaluate an employee. If I ask the location of an item, it's usually something I actually want, and often buy the item. It just seems to validate and cover me from being detected as the little fink I really be.

I've never had an issue with Charmin not lasting long in my house. There's just two of us-- a male and a female but a pack of TP will last us a while. Of course, we're gone to work 10-16 hours out of the day too...

If you go through swagbucks.com for your coupons.com coupons you get 10 points for each of the coupons used. The points aren't worth just lots, though over the years I have cashed them in for $10 Lowes' gift cards. Some stores also do UPromise, which allows you extra reimbursements for specified items. The money can be used towards college or just cashed out as soon as you have accumulated $20 or more. Smartsource and a few other printable coupon sites are available, including a Betty Crocker website.

There are also bloggers who monitor grocery store sales and do coupon match ups which really saves a lot of work. Southernsavers.com and Moolasavingmom.com are two that come to mind but there are many others.

You are over-thinking this. First of all, I doubt the employee is watching your every move from the time you enter the store to the time you make your purchases and leave the store.

Second, people change their minds all the time. I can not count how many times that the person in front of me at the checkout line has removed items from their cart and stick them in the magazine rack or tell the cashier that they do not want the item or changed their mind. Some people go over their grocery budget and have to remove some items. Again, you are over-thinking this.

I am in Indiana and just got milk on sale today for $1 for a gallon. Aldi has it for $1.49 as a perpetual sale for a gallon. The regular price not on sale for other chains in the area (Kroger, Meijer, Sams Club, etc.) all have it at $1.99.

The Crest pro-health toothpaste was on sale for $2.69. Kroger took off a dollar for the Mega Sale they were having plus I found a 50 cents coupon for it on kroger.com. I also found a Checkout 51 rebate for 75 cents and a Mobisave for 10 cents. All of these I was able to use for that same tube of toothpaste.

So yes, milk and toothpaste can be found for cheap.

I'm in Southern West Virginia. My grocery chain frequently has the half gallons of milk skim thru whole & buttermilk for $1 each. They sale the gallons at times for $1.69!!!! And Crest and Colgate are often 10/$10 and sometimes even BOGO on top of that!
