I have been Qing for awhile now, but I just found out this wonderful tip. Did you know you can send your expired coupons to military families overseas? Check out this link!
As a girl with a LOT of military in my family, this whole concept excites me!

This is great info Kimberly! I forgot about it. I used to send my expired coupons to a person I met online who was stationed in Germany a couple of years ago. I really should try to do it again.

Speaking of coupons though, I saw something on tv the other night about some lady who started The Grocery Game or something like that. I'm going to go look it up in a minute - but she has tracked sales and what not to maximize the use of her coupons. I was amazed at what she said she saved at the store.

That is what eventually led me to this link. I was watching UNWRAPPED on the food network and saw the bit on "The Grocery Game". It is so cool, but she doesn't have a list for my area. I am thinking of still subscribing since she has lists for Lake Havasu Arizona, and we travel there to shop alot of the time.

It is a great thing. My mom used to send me a ton of expired ones and me and my friends would go through them to get the ones we would use.

i used to do the Grocery Game! I saved tons of money! But when i discovered digiscrapping, I just couldn't keep up with it. It's a lot of work getting it all organized. I used to save BIG when Albertson's had their double (up to a $1) and triple (up to .75 cents) coupon days. I still remember my biggest savings...

Spent something like $200 and only paid $7!! I felt like i robbed the store when i left! LOL

But Albertson's doesn't have those big coupon days anymore.

I just go to pinchyourpennies.com (http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/)and it list the sales and coupons in my area. I really need to subcribe to the Sunday paper and start using coupons.
