That was really neat to see a local woman in the news about couponing.

I wondered though, how she ended up paying only .39 cents at the register? I mean in one part you see her put some steaks in her cart and I would think that even if she got everything else for free (like the ketchsup, A-1 etc...) how would she end up paying only .39 cents for steak? I have never seen .39 cent steaks at my Shaws LOL.

Probably using Cats! It does say she shops at Shaws....

Well that makes more sense LOL. My brain is still in vacation mode. LOL.

Overage? I don't know if Shaws gives that (I've never been to one). That's what a lot of people use to offset the things that don't have coupons, though. It's what I've been trying to learn to do.

If her store honors competitor coupons, she might have used the recent $2 coupon from Hannaford. I was able to successfully use this at my Shaws.

No kidding!! I never even thought of using them at Shaws. Wished I had kept those.

Maybe by buying the ones that have coupons on them as they need to be sold today? I buy a lot of meat that way, then toss it in the freezer.

Maybe that story is why they have been un double coupon Nazi's???

If you live in Maine, they will be talking to this lady on the radio on 97.9 this morning.

I dunno, I've had cashiers tell me that they normally hate coupons but they like me cause all my coupons go right through. I think it's the people that rarely use coupons that give trouble because they don't pay enough attention when they do use coupons....

She will be on GMA On Wednesday and Inside Edition sometime this week. She's who I learned from.

She shops in Seabrook and says they are great there and they also give overage. NO hassles she says.. And yes she uses the $2 off meat from Hannafords and Managers markdowns.
