I'm new here and i've printed coupons off like crazy.... Now i need some help on what to do next.. The nearest store to me is wal-mart and they do not double on coupons. I'm nervous about going in and trying to use a bunch and have them tell me i can't. and i would LOVE to learn how to stock pile. I have a family of soon to be six and can use some help figuring out this.... I live in Northeastern kentucky..

Walmarts take internet printables (IP) so you shouldn't have a problem, but if you do... remind them thier online policy says they do accept them. Some people print off the policy to take with them. I personally have never had a problem and I've used several IP's at walmart. If you are nervous about it just pic up one item before you begin your whole shopping and check out...just to test it first. Stockpilling is great and mainly depends on the quantity of coupons you have for that great deal. So I would recommend getting several papers each week. Do you have a cvs or a walgreens in you area?

CVS or Walgreens is about 20 minutes away.. Do they have good deals there?

CVS and Walgreen's sometimes have good deals. THe best thing is to read the forums for the stores near you and get an idea on how to perform the deals. Normally they say use _______ coupon on __________ to get it for $_____. We try and simplify it.

I just add it up over time. I am very far behind at this point as you can tell.

cvs and walgreens is how I stock up on all my toiletries. I have stockpiled tons of shampoo conditioner, medicine, soap, toothpaste, deoderant, razors, diapers and wipes and all I paid for most of these items was tax. It saves alot when you don't have to buy these items. Usually they calculate thier savings by the bottom of the reciept...it tells you how much you saved and sometimes what percent.

I too stock up on deoderant, shampoo, body wash, soap ect at Walgreens. There is no reason for anyone in my house to stink...LOL!

I have a very simple savings spreadsheet that I made to keep track of my savings. I can email it to you if you pm me.
