    Ok, I was slow to the party on this one…but thanks to all your efforts, I just got 4 Breyers, 12 Yosicles, 4 Magnum, 16 Sensodyne toothpastes (travel size), and 1 Carefree liners for $9.13 …and got back a $2 Catalina!!! I used an $8/$50 as well as the ice cream and $1/1 toothpaste coupons. Feel very blessed to have an ice cream stock for our family of 6 for the summer! Thank you for the overwhelming effort, time, and dedication you contribute to helping all our families save money! God’s Blessings!!

    Reading the comments about to much ice cream and its junk food. yes, I though it was crazy to stock a ice cream in bulk from giant. sadly, these sales come few in between depending when you shopping and getting right coupons.I have been doing this 4/11. only been able to stock on greens 1X, breyer’s 2x and turkey hill 1x. My family is not overweight and we still buy outside the stock.I noticed the ice cream are smaller and usually expire up 1 hr & 5 months. You just hope you never lose electric. Plus taking a family out for ice cream is nice but prices are going up. If you have the space and time. After all the summer is here and nice to serve out ice cream for vistors without sparing much money and putting time in to treat ours and as well as self. Its a sport to get price and then get rung up correctly without melting away and dealing with toddler. i love this site but some people need be more understanding what people chose to buy and they use it. sadly, we the people can control the cost. just by not buying it full cost in the long run prices will drop. sadly, we have busy lives its easy to grab and retailers know that.

      Noelle, you owe no one an explanation. You did great saving money and thats all that matters on this website. No one is judge and jury — you make decisions for you and they can make decisions for their family.

        Your response and the great match ups is the reason you are the only site I use these days. Keep up the great work, we love all you do for us.

    Gina- I live in Florida and shop at Publix. I do my best deals with BOGO Free and matching my coupons. The best I’ve done is spent $80 and saved $220. It just takes alot of time to match them all up. I follow alot of sites but the best one in Florida is Addicted to Saving. She matches everything up for you and the coupons. Good Luck! I get frustrated sometimes but then I get right back into. It is alot of work but so worth it!

    Brian, hi. thank you! I do the stacking, and I do save, and I am so happy with that.. but on my weekly trips I always always am only able to ever save 20 to 25 bucks total. I always walk out paying at least 140 bucks after coupons.. and I am happy at least I can save the little that I do, but I am so amazed how some folks walk out paying only 10 bucks for 100 bucks of groceries.. thats all, I just wanna know what am I missing?

    @For the Mommas I agree they need to be made in diff. Transactions I ment that when u write out the shopping trip if u could also post the transactions like Noelle wrote above, that makes it eadier to visualize the savings and order on how to do it ourselves.

    I tried to do this same shopping trip, but my printed coupons were rejected at Giant. It turned into a big deal involving the store manager who said the coupons weren’t in their system and they accused me of photo copying the coupons. Anyone else have this problem?

    Is it possible to save BIG BIG like this shopping at publix? they do double, and they do take target competitor coupons. they double up to 50 cents. and they take a stacked coupon.

    Brian, I recommend doing the transactions individually as posted. People are having issues putting the transactions into one.

    Jenine, we need to be respectful of others…just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you need to share it. ..

    Ice cream party sounds like a great idea. I was thinking more of an every day use.

    And @Geri, people will always oppose what others do. If that keeps them from sharing, its their own problem with insecurities. Saying thats a lot of junk food is the truth. People don’t want to hear the truth but I’m gonna say it anyways, bad eating habits are why so many American’s are overweight. Its a crisis in our society.
