well i gather coupons each nite and stack them in groups to match up competitors if i have them --- and i trade lots for coupons i want -- now and then i buy sets of 20 from ebay tho for a cheap price --- its well worth 20 $1 coupons if you know ur saving that much

id guess i spend about 2 hours a day reading blogs or collection and cutting coupons -- i did buy a group of huggies for $3.50 and one set of goodlife for $1.50

[gizoemo]

So I'm fairly new to all this, and this may be a dumb question. But does Publix take ANY other coupons? I just received a bunch of Target coupons in the mail, and I was just wondering if I could use those at Publix or Walmart. Thank you for the info!!!
