The other thing that some people are able to do is use the overage for meat and produce.

Example Right now Walgreens has reach floss on sale for .99 there is a couon out there (i didn't get it in my paper ) for $5/3 so that is an overage of 2.02 that can be used to buy other stuff. Ok so Walgreens you can't buy meat or produce (well I think you can get bacon) but you can use the overage to say buy you must have face cleaner or something.

Some grocery stores allow overage some do not. Don't know what stores are in your area but I am sure people on here could help you out.

Also I know you don't have kids but a few months back there was an awesome huggies deal at Walgreens. All said and done I think they were paying me $2 to take 2 packs of diapers and a large pack of wipes. (Really wish I did tht deal a few more times). So if you are into yard sales you could have sold there and made a nice profit. I think most non couponors would easily pay $5 for a pack of huggies and $2-$3 for the big pack of wipes. So that deal alone would have made you $2 at the store and another $12-13 at a yard sale. So $15 for one deal and very little work on your part. Then you could take that money and buy your produce.

You would be amazed at how much you can save. I have kept my kid in diapers since Jan 08 for a total of $15 out of my pocket. Yes $15 for 20 months and we use about 1.5 packs a week. Normal price on Diapers is $10 a pack so that would have run me about 1,200.00 but nope only cost me $15. Heck if you did all these deal thatI did and then old them at $5 a pack you could make $600. That is my plan once I get the little one potty tained.
