New ways to get the most from your ALL YOU coupons

Food lion
This week kraft salad dressing is BOGO free. You can get 2 bottles free when you use your coupon from the August all you. BOGO free 2/$2.79. Minus $2.79 coupon + 3 packs Kool-aid. Total = $.60 cents for 2 bottles of dressing and 3 pkgs kool-aid. Just keep in mind that the limit is two for each transaction (so if you have multiple coupons make a couple of trips). Lori also found a coupon hanging by the koolaid at our food lion. It was $1.00 off food lion sugar when you buy 5 kool-aid packs. That makes their sugar $.89 cents for a 5lb bag. I know everyone has a lot of kool-aid now thanks to all you coupons...LOL.

Sunday, August 17th Coupon Ideas

I have always gotten coupons from the Sunday paper or the Internet. I have read other blogs that talk about buying from a coupon cutting service. I never tried it until this week. I wanted to let everyone know it worked great. Selina posted the deal about Fusion razors being on clearance for $3.50 at our Wal-mart. I thought this would be a great time to try this since the razors would be free with the $4.00/1 coupon. I used http://www.thecouponclippers.com. I ordered them on Tue. night. They were mailed on Wed. and I received them on Friday. When you see a really good sale coming up or if you are short on coupons you use all the time, then give this a try. Happy Birthday Selina!!!!!!!!!!
