    I get most of my items for free, or nearly free.

    Any other CouponMom / CVS goers out there??

    <<LadyKluck: The only food product I absolutely will not buy a generic of is peanut butter. It HAS to be Reese's or I won't eat it...>>

    Dude...Klucky...what kind of peanut butter did you eat before Reese's came out? :)

    Speaking of PB...why hasn't PLANTERS of all companies come out with a peanut butter???

    Ewwwwww ! Yuck.

    Wonderbread is not meant to be eaten. And if it is the kraft cheese flat slices you are talking about, they are only meant to be eaten under special circumstances.

    I used to clip coupons but don't so much anymore, I should start again. I do use them at costco for their monthly "bargains" and use the money back or two for one that I sometimes receive from Safeway at checkout. I do try to wait for sales though, especially on things like coffee, cleaning products and canned goods. For most of those things, I can wait until next week if they aren't on sale.

Hopefully they can use a phone number or have a record of a number :)

    I just thought of another name brand product. Coffee. I usually buy Starbucks or Peets ground but can't bring myself to buy it if it's not on sale or a good price like they have at Target. I'll sometimes delve into another brand and they are usually just fine. I always go back to Starbucks or Peets though.
