Welcome back to my Realistic Look at Couponing Video Series! If you didn’t get a chance to watch my first two videos, I recommend watching them first to find out the purpose of this series.
First things first, I have really debated about posting this video after watching last night’s Extreme Couponing Show. I hesitate because of two reasons:
1) I really don’t feel that the show painted couponers in a positive light and I’m struggling with the amount of stockpiles that I saw. Stockpiling to that extreme is simply not necessary in my book.
2) I don’t want you to think that what you see in this video is the norm for me. Or for most people for that matter. This just happened to be a HOT week of deals for me, so I decided to share. I typically am a much more laid back couponer, but when the deals are almost too good to believe, I dive in!
And as I mention in the video…most of that cereal will be given away. 🙂 (Just in case you were wondering if we served cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner…)
great job, cant wait to see more videos from you.
A great job once again! I think I just did the deal twice, but was still very happy. I love your laid back approach and honesty!
Aww…you sound so apologetic, but what you did that day was amazing! And it’s not a stockpile if you are giving it away, or donating it to the needy!
Thanks, Stephanie! For some reason watching that show made me feel guilty for scoring such good deals. Thanks for helping me feel better!
Hey Would it be possible for you to tell us what the store deal was and what coupons were used? : )
I love your blog! Thanks so much for all your help and advice!
Hi, Beth! The deal that I got was last week at Giant Pa and I posted about it here: https://chachingonashoestring.com/2011/04/01/hot-giant-pa-new-coupons-for-general-mills-milk-and-cereal-deal/
Unfortunately it’s no longer available, but you can see how it worked!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
LOL. I love that a good day is showering, makeup, no kids and a grocery store. I think we are two peas in a pod. He-He.
Love that you talked about giving it away. I know that one of my biggest blessing in learning how to coupon is how much I can give away to my church, food pantries, and families in need.
Thanks, Kelly. I hoped someone else might understand. 🙂
