Can't wait to read about your frugal vacation. We have had a few, but I'm sure nothing like yours. :0)Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276880620304221670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727075057172177156.post-64277214958585970642009-12-15T11:51:01.944-06:002009-12-15T11:51:01.944-06:00I've tamed back couponing much more in the las...I've tamed back couponing much more in the last few years as I've transitioned more over to less packaged foods, however I still scan sites like the coupon clippers or the coupon master every couple of weeks just in case I can put something together for a product I'll purchase anyway. I know I can make a healthier, cheaper version of the product from scratch. <br /><br />You've got me reminiscing about my all time favorite deal though that I was able to do around this time for the last 2 years. My store ran Quaker Oats 18 oz canisters as their loss leader and after a doubled manufacturers coupon, I made a profit the first year and paid nothing last year. Needless to say, I stocked up on a years worth of oatmeal!<br /><br />It doesn't look like Quaker is going to be running that coupon this year though (they already had one out for 1.25 on 2 which wouldn't have been as good a deal) Seems to me that the coupons aren't making as great of deals for those of us with doubling stores because they're higher value and requiring multiple products to be purchased.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180289951777672150noreply@blogger.com
