as far as I know they do but you would need to check with your local store. I know the ones here double on saturdays on coupons up to 70cents.

You mentioned Fred’s stores in your video. Do all Fred’s offer the double coupons policy that you mentioned?

I think I might have been partly responsible for FREDS changing their doubles policy. I once went into Freds and ended up with about $100 worth of merchandise and they had to end up paying me cash back as well.
) I’ve never seen a manager get so mad. But I basically learned how to work the double coupons.
Shortly after that Freds came out with a new policy where they only double up to .70 cents and only double one coup per particular item per day.
Im sure it wasn’t just me. Still felt bad.

If a store does not take your coupons report them to the BBB – if they are getting any gov grant or loan – They must take all manu coupons. No matter my income lvl – I always stack coupons. Avg $450 every 2 weeks – after club card + coupons – $95 to $80…the store manager use to hate seeing me come in with my coupons – Now everyone is asking me how you do this and that. I read and apply. Simple.

Don’t forget that some dates on food say best if used by that doesn’t mean that it goes bad after that date you still have at least a year or two past that if it is in can form. Don’t forget to store your food in a dry place moisture kills canned food. Take care.

I live where grocery stores NEVER double or triple coupons. Also, coupons are nearly ALWAYS for name brand items. Name brand items can cost over double what off brand items cost. Many people don’t know that the same companies that make the name brand items also make off brand items. The best stores to buy off brand is ALDIS & SAVE-A-LOT here. A package of name brand beef hot dogs here is $5, ALDIS beef hot dogs are $2. LAYS chips $4, ALDIS chips $1.29. If you can’t “coupon” shop off brand.

I also look for stores that have Buy 1 get 1 free and apply double coupons. You can do quite well. My daughter lives in SC and the stores there occasionally do the triple coupons. Whoot! Great video.

I guess it depends on which perspective you are coming from.
From a christian perspective, there are good meats and bad meats.

But is is really food or is it weaponized. Do you even know that meat is not for human consumption?

Back several years ago, I used to get laughed at a lot because I was such a coupon junkie. But I could go to the store and get $200 worth of food for about $5. It’s do-able.
I dont coupon as much any more since our store here doesn’t double, but I do still try to use them from time to time to help stock up on stuff for us.

Dry beans are better if you can get them. They will last you longer and in a very tight pinch, you can plant dry beans from the grocery store and sometimes they will grow in a garden. So it’s good to keep them on hand.
Canned goods are the next thing. Make sure you get the longest expiration date that you can find.
Dry good as well. Get a few boxes of dry milk. Folks often forget that but it’s good to have on hand on case you can’t get dairy products.

I’ve been convicted for some time on using coupons to save money. The only reason I don’t is because I’m to lazy! plain and simple. But there’s really no excuse not to.times are tuff and will only get tuffer. we all better take every advantage that we can to save a few bucks here and there. I guess your vid. is conformation that I need to get my butt in gear!
