I heard today that Channel 5 here in Oklahoma city did a story that most stores were going to do away with couponing?? Was just wondering if anyone else has heard this?? I just started couponing not long ago and would hate for it to come to an end! Saving too much $$$ and having too much fun!!!
I haven’t heard this……I sure hope not!!!!
Queen Mum I have not seen the chat box up and running for a couple of days , is there a reason for that ? Thank You
Marilyn
I’m not sure Marilyn….I’ve been off the blog for a few days moving into my new apartment. I know Melissa is having some work done on the site. I’ll ask her about it tonite at church.
Thank you Queen Mum , I know you are busy , moving is never fun lol. I have another question for you , I went to Walgreens to try out the double rr for the gain soap …I bought 1 gain laundry detergent with a 2 dollar coupon and 2 gain dishwashing soap( no coupons for them ) paid part of it with a 5 dollar RR and cash for the balance and only got back a 3 dollar RR. no double rr for me , yet it work for you . What did I do wrong?
Sometimes when Walgreens gets wind of a deal like that they adjust their registers to not print it out
Also I bought one Gain Detergent and 1 Gain Dish Soap and got the (2) $2.00 RR so that may have been the difference. Some areas get different RR deals. Next time I’ll try them all and confirm for us Okies!
THANK YOU ! Queen MUM it was worth a try i did get three dollars back in rr
You’re quite welcome!
i dont know how to post the link im so sorry i just wanted u to know ozarka water ha s a link on their fb page on left ‘minis to go’ and its a dollar off i printed it three times… anyway i really am so thankful for ur site and just wanted to share with u
Thanks Jen!!
Hi Queen..I want to start by saying “THANK YOU”. You have helped my family and I save lots of money. I have a quick question seeing I’m very new to the coupon scene. Can I use coupons that say a specific store on them (ex. Target) at any store? Thank you for any responses in advanced!! I’m so excited to start saving money!!
If the coupons state manufacturer’s coupon on them and do not state that you have to redeem them at Target you should be able to use them anywhere…it doesn’t matter if they have the Target logo on them as long as they are manufacturer’s coupons:)
Don’t know if anyone knows yet or not but I work for petsmart nw 63rd and when I went into work today I saw that we had Fall Festival of Savings right inside the front doors by our adds , it has 15 manufactures coupons inside , some are the same as you see in the newspaper but a few were pretty good such as $4 off any Pur Luv Grande Bones or Mini Bones Value Pack, $1 dolloar off any Blue treats, $2 dollars off any Pur Luv dog treats(made in the USA)$ 1 off any Pet Botantics , $2 off any True Chews $ 1 off Canyon Creeek Ranch Dog Treats 8 oz$ 1 dollar off Nylabone Corn and wheat free pouch , Plus 8 other coupons . Thought you might want to know
Thanks Marilyn! A reader had emailed me about this…. please email us with any deals you find at Petsmart! We’d love it!
I have a question about Homeland’s policy. I tried to e-mail, but I couldn’t get it to load. I have 2 different coupons for the totino’s pizza stuffers. One is for a dollar off and the oher is for .75 cents off. Can I use both of the coupons in the same transaction or do I have to use them in seperate ones since they are for the same product? Same with yopliat yogurt ones, one for .50 off of 8 and one for .40 off of 6.
Thank you!!
Nope, since they are different value coupons they will both double, you just can’t use both coupons on the same product, for example buying 1 pizza stuffer and using both coupons on that one product.
Do you know where I can find libby’s canned vegetable coupons?
(ie. $1/4).
It’s in the Redplum coupon insert from the 8-28-11 Sunday paper and expires 12-30-11
Your site has been so helpful! I am wondering how you tell if a printed (off the internet) coupon will double. I heard that UPC numbers beginning with a 9 will not, but I have some that begin with a 0 or 5. Which numbers do not double? Thanks!
If a coupon states “Do Not Double” then it should not double no matter what the UPC numbers are. I know that some even though they state DND will double if the cashier doesn’t catch it. I truly can’t remember which number it starts with (5 or 9)…I usually tell the cashier if I have a DND coupon so they don’t accidentally double it. For cashiers, coupons are like money and must be counted at the end of their shift. If they have doubled say, a $1.00 coupon that says DND then their register will be $1.00 short and they can be fired if this happens to many times
.
Help! How do I get the Progresso Rich & Hearty Coupon. I searched your whole site but can’t find it or missed it. I did print the refund form but no luck on the coupon. Thanks
The coupons listed are in the Sunday paper coupon inserts – General Mills insert 10-2-11 and 9-11-11.
Hey Queeen Mum have your readers check out the Petsmart stores for free treats , Nw 63 and May and May might be out, They have Science Diet light small and toy adult biscuits on sale with petperts card for $1.97 and in thier Fall Festival Saving Book located at front door there is a $2.00 coupon making them free, they also have PUR LUV Fish Recipe Sticks for all dogs on sale for $2.99 and there is a $2.00 coupon for those making them $1.00, as well plus other match ups . The sale is only good for 4 days started today.
Thanks Marilyn!
For some reason I have stopped receiving your coupon match ups email. I can find on your site but the emails are really handy!! Can you check for me? thank you!!
Voni…you may have to sign up again. Just put in your email at the top of the blog page
How and where do I get a Walgreen infant care book? I have heard about them but the Walgreen I go to in Midwest City has never heard of them .
Thank You
Marilyn these booklets were out quite awhile back (several months) so they’re probably all gone. The coupons don’t expire until 12-31 so I still post them
Thank You Queen Mum
You’r quite welcome!!
Thank you Melissa for sharing how to stack the like inserts to cut out the coupons, LOL I was cutting them out one by one and I had 10 papers one week end. boy do I feel dumb ! lol I think I am doing them right now , stacking like ones on top of each other then cut the coupons? Right? LOL
Hi! Im also new to the couponing world. I just wanted to double check on Homelands doubling policy. I went to the website and the policy was so wordy – it got difficult for me to understand. They have a 10 for 10 on Colgate toothpaste. If I have 10 coupons @ 40 cents off one colgate toothpaste, will they double it to make each toothpaste only 20 cents a piece?
Sarah,
Using your example that the toothpastes were 10/$10 and you had 10 $0.40 off coupons…..
Homeland doubles the 1st like coupon. That means they would only double ONE of your $0.40 coupons. In your scenario you would buy the 10 toothpastes for $10.00. You would use the 10 coupons. One would be worth $0.80 since it doubled leaving your total due at $9.20. The other 9 $0.40 coupons would ring up at face value of $0.40 each totaling $3.60. Your end cost would be $5.60 or $0.56 each for the 10 toothpastes.
I would however question the necessity of buying 10 toothpastes. I am nto aware of your household size, but 10 toothpastes seems like a lot of toothpaste. Remember sales go in cycles and it will be back on sale again soon.

I don’t know how the others do it but by the time I get your email all the free items and coupons are gone. I have yet to get anything from your site! This is very disappointing.
Unfortunately coupons go very fast…we have no control over that
We try to do the deals ourselves before we post but sometimes they’re out 20 minutes after we post it. Sorry you’ve had a problem!
Queen Mun I went to CVS tonight 10-22-11 bought 2 single revelon eye shadow $4.89 each use 2 $ 1.00 (wal mart inserts) but did not get the $5.00 CVS back . What did I do wrong could it have been that I used cvs bucks to pay for it ?
Thank You
Marilyn
No it shouldn’t have mattered if you paid for it with CVS ECB…I would take my receipt back and ask why I didn’t get it!
THank You
i was wondering if you know of someone in texas who does what you do my mom wants to coupon to and i cant find a site that does heb stores thanks
Hi Mary…don’t know anyone off hand but let me check ok.
Queen Mun , I went back to CVS today and took my reciept and yesterday’s ad and got my $5.00 ECB. again thank you
You are quite welcome!!
I was wondering where/when I could purchase the Homeland Care Coupon Booklet?
I was wondering if there are any other organizations like Angel Food avaliable in Western Oklahoma. Thank-you for All your money saving ideas. And for going All the leg work for everyone to help us save!!
hello how are you ? i was wandering if i have a coupon for 5 dollars off infamil but i have to buy 2 so if i have another of the same coupon can i use it for the same transaction or do i have to buy another 2 cans
Is the coupon $5 off two cans or do you have 2 $5 off one can coupons? If you have 2 coupons that state $5 off ONE can then you need to buy 2 cans. If you have two coupons that state $5 off TWo cans then you must buy four cans to use both coupons. ~Princess Karen
Pretty sweet…you can now purchase Mrs. Meyers product on Walmart.com with Free Shipping. Love this stuff (lavender addict). It is already at a good price, but the free shipping is amazing! This qualifies for the new home free $45 program!

Hello, My mother and i are trying to coupon butwe just don’t understand how to start. Can u please tell us where to start!
This will be a good blessing now that we have 2 home’s to support..
Thank you ,
Maribel , Brenda
Brenda…our beginner’s coupon class is about 2.5 hours long so it’s hard to condense down into an email LOL!! If you’ll click on “coupons” from the menu across the top of the website you get a drop down box. Click on “How To Coupon”. The first 3 lessons are for beginners. If you have any specific questions after reading them don’t hesitate to ask!
At petsmart when you buy purina dog food 37 lbs and up cat food 20 lbs on special mark bags the registers are shooting out a $5.00 bonus bucks which are good up to FEb 29th ( leap year must be coming up lol). Some Purina not included
Trying to find a clipping service that has the soft-soap coupons?
Sorry Pam….we’re one of the few websites that don’t promote using clipping services. The manufacturer’s who give us the coupons don’t want them sold so we honor their request
Hi all! Don’t forget to “toss that AARP card” at the clerks at CVS, you’ll get another printed out coupon!
I wish I knew which other stores would freebie those of us with AARP cards.
I was wondering if Walmart matches b1g1 50% off. I read the Coupon and Price Matching Policy but I don’t see that anywhere. Thanks so much in advance.
Nope they don’t ….they MIGHT if the ad reads something like this buy Tide 50-oz. at $5.99 and get one 50% off. They will only price match if the ad gives a specific product with size (if product has different sizes) for a specific price. It can’t just say Tide BOGO 50% off…hope this helps
I swear I saw a match up or something for all the colgate coupons in the 10-30 coupons including the kids colgate toothpaste. But now I can’t find the post, and of course I did not write down the store or anything. Please help
Dawn that was the Walmart Cheap Finds: week of 10-30…..just click on find my store then click on Walmart
Cokesbury Christian Bookstore is having their Christmas sale on November 10-12. They have 25 percent off (no coupon needed) I really like this store because it is a non-profit chain that turns it money back to the church and missions, which is something no other Christian bookstore chain does it Oklahoma. They are even giving away a free bag to the first 50 customers.
Thanks Julie!!
Staples and Office Depot periodically sell AA and AAA batteries that you get paid back 100% in their respective rewards programs.
You just pay tax.
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Wondering if you could help me figure out the best deal. My mom wants to buy my boys the smart cycle 3d for Christmas. I found it in the toys r us ad for $59.99 til 11/23. I have a target printable for $10 off and noticed it was on target mobile for $10 off. Can I price match & use one or both target coupons with it? Thanks
Marci, I’m not quite sure what you are asking……are you wanting to price match the Toys R Us price at Target?? Some Targets do price match but it’s done at customer service. You can only use 1 Target coupon per item and since the mobile and the printable coupons are both target coupons you’d only be able to do one. Hope this helps
Dear Mum, My daughter-in-law turned me on to your web site while visiting her in OKC. I am wondering if you know of a site similar to your for central Ill and /or In. We also have condo in Hot Springs, Ar. too. Thanks for your input.
We do deals for all over the UNited States. ~Princess Karen
Is there any way to stop delivery of the advertising brochure? I would very much like to have it stopped.
I have a question about a coupon I have. It is for 1.00 off any bounty paper towel, the coupon does not state a size at all, however the picture on the coupon shows a 15 pack. Does this mean you have to use it on a 15 pack only or can you use it on any size since it doesn’t specify one? I tried using it at Wal-Mart on a single roll and they said it had to match the picture. Thanks in advance for your help.
If it says $1.00 ANY Bounty then you can use it on any. Sometimes they will put the most expensive item on the coupon to make you think that’s the one you have to buy. I never pay attention to the picture…it’s only the wording of the coupon that counts
Hello. I would like to know if the Homeland C.A.R.E booklets are still available to purchase? Is there a contact email for the person selling them?
Thanks!
Beth, Queen Mum sells these. They are still available! You may contact her for more info. She always post when she is going to be at Homeland’s in the parking lot with them as well.
I noticed that Princess Racheal entered these grateful giveaways 6 times on one giveaway. Can we do that? I thought only 4 entries.
you get an entry for each thing you do, feel free to make a separate post for each entry
I missed part of the Jack and Ron show 98.9 KYIS FM today. Could please tell me the list you told them ?
Thank you for all your work….
Just a heads up homeland is no longer taking any “publix” internet coupons.
Hello Melissa i am nowe just starting to do the couping and i love it my friend has showed me so many things and it is awesome. I wanted to know where i could get homeland booklet there are coupons in there as well and i did not know where i could get that.
Ladonna we are selling the booklets…I will start posting where I will be to sell them after the first of the year
hello, I’m French, I saw the story on the TF1 television channel today, frankly your approach is fine, you have the knowledge and know-how. You are right, this whole organization is very useful, even necessary, because many families who can not eat their fill. Bravo for your efforts, advice. In France too we love the coupons, I love it myself, but we have more offers with repayments, you must purchase the product, then you have to pay in cash section separately and return the receipt to be reimbursed. This is fine, but when you buy 20 products, it takes 20 tickets ..
Congratulations to you, I love your first name, Melissa, this is the first name of my daughter.
Mr mouth, Auffargis in France near Versailles, 39 year old man married with two children ..
Happy New Year 2012 to you and your family.
thank you
I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the Homeland coupon booklets. I have looked all over the site and can’t find any info on them.
thanks
I’m new at couponing, but trying to figure it out!
if I use coupons at homeland and I use 3 like items, then only one of my coupons double then right? Is it better to just wait for the items and get your doubles the next time or just go ahead and use them? Haha. Thanks!!!
Tara it depends on how much the item is before coupon. Sometimes it’s just as easy to buy 2 and get a deep discount instead of 2 free. For example if Tuna is $1.35 and you have a $1.00/1 coupon you’d get the tuna free after double (no overage the coupon would ring up $1.00 then double to $.35). If you had 2 $1.00 /1 Tuna coupons you could buy 2 at $1.35 each ($2.70) then the first coupon would double subtracting $1.35 and the second one would just take off $1.00 leaving you with a balance of $.35 for 2 Tuna or just $.18 ea. For $.18 I’ll just buy 2 and not waste my gas to come back and get another one free the next day. Hope this helps! You can also read our post about that very thing here:http://bit.ly/wmJDD3
