I taught someone (boss and his wife) how to do coupons and how to stockpile this weekend, so we made the 2 hour trek to Fort Wayne for super doubles and triples.

How did they do?

they got $986.xx before coupons, after coupons $205.xx

How I did:

$992.39 before coupons, after coupons $161.36

LOTS of meats, seafoods, cereals, etc. wow! a van full
Until I got home, I didn't realize exactly how many boxes of FREE Kellogg's and FREE General Mills Cereal I had... LOL geez! We were getting overage on every single GM cereal thanks to Walmart's All You magazine.

We had a good time...hit Dupont Rd Krogers 2x and State Street Krogers 2x (and the obligatory Lima Rd Meijers 1x--even though they didn't double but to 50 cents... the $1.50/1 Revlon beauty tools coupons came in handy, because Meijers had Revlon bogo, making both FREE after coupons)

The question I have is this: Did your boss make you share your coupons with him??

Did your boss give you a raise with all the money that he saved?

WOOHOO! Like those savings! Hope you have enough Kelloggs on one CRT to mail in for the $10 MIR!

does it count before coupons or after coupons?

can you only have 1 receipt? because we only were able to do 3 like coupons at a time...so only 3 cereals at a time. for each shopper shopping (we had quite a few "shoppers" for each of us)

I shared my coupons plus they had a few of their own--I don't begrudge someone I am shopping with if there is a killer deal...I share my coupons freely if we are together shopping.

(ask Obrother)

unfortunately he is a "boss" but not the "big boss" who does the pay raises...I am content with the wages that GM shells out.

the MIR = buy 10 Kellogg's products in one trip and get $10 back

So... you need all 10 items on one CRT
and coupons don't matter.... they don't count against you w/ MIRs
