I went to three grocery stores this week, which is very unusual for me. Each store had a few good deals that I really wanted to take advantage of. My first stop was Meijer.
I had a raincheck for Lysol wipes...they were 50% off a few weeks back. This a great example for using a coupon clipping service. The wipes were originally $2.77, so 50% made them $1.39 each. I ordered 20 $1/1 coupons which brought them down to $.39 each, but it gets better. I then printed off Meijer mealbox coupons for $1/4, so that took them down to $.14 each. You can't beat that...and I use a lot of these!!
I got the pasta for $.25 each. I think the bread was $.50 and the watermelon was on sale, too!
Then...I hit the jackpot on the reduced rack.
I got the salad kits, tomatoes, peppers, and avocados for $.50 of less. The picture of the reduced stuff cost a total of $3.50!

WOW, way to go. Almost 300 dollars in 6 months is great! Congrats!
They don't have aldi's out here where I live...I really miss them. Nice savings :)
You are SO GOOD!! Incredible. I wish I could do half as good as you!! Thanks for inspiring me once again.
how do coupon clipping services work?
Jill,
You can get large amounts of coupons through either a coupon clipping service or on ebay. I always use ebay.
I usually only have 1-2 papers per week. When I saw the Lysol would be dirt cheap with the coupons I ordered a large quanity (20) so that I could fully take advantage of the deal and stock up!
You also get them relatively cheap...I think for 20 $1/1 Lysol's it was only $2 including shipping.
Hope this helps!
