[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 427155, member: 84"] Step, I've had to "rethink" due to the whole generic thing. Because buying generic appears to be cheaper (and easier) than doing the coupons.....but if you're watching sales, it's not. Memorial day is coming up and the deals are going to be HUGE. Can't wait for those to come out. Sunday paper helps a ton. Not only does it have the coupon inserts, it has most of the sale ads you'll need. husband bought 4 last wk. lol I also snitched county shoppers (mini paper with coupons that is free) from katie's apartment complex. To be fairl there was a stack of about a hundred.....and I only took 2. Once you build up a base of coupons, it works much better. You have more items to work with cuz different things go on sale at different times. Then I had to rearrange my brain to try new things. Cat litter for 89 cents (someone has caught on around here they're always out of stock now) I can try a new brand. Yesterday I got arm and hammer laundry soap for like 2 bucks each....bought two.........going back for more. At that price I don't care that it's not Tide. It' still not generic (I don't like the generic brands gave me holes in my clothes) but price is better than generic. Coupons are in the paper and krogers has it on sale. Coupons are also online for it. I'm a tad luckier than most starting out I think. I'm a stockpiler by nature when it comes to food and cleaning supplies. So I have a base I'm already working from that is giving me some elbow room to wait for deals. But this week I had to buy some stuff off sale so just made sure that was as cheap as possible. Lucky for me husband likes generic cheese slices better than kraft...... [/QUOTE]
