My goal oneday is to get food for free. Just like the Extreme Couponing. Any Idea where I can start?!

From Ginger:
Get the Sunday newpapers, buy 2. That way you can take advantage of the buy one get one free offers. I ( ginger) usually get 3. Then check the ads and match up the coupons to the items. I only buy what is one sale and if I have a coupon unless I HAVE to have it. I am still working on trying to do the right match ups.

From Meredith:
We will try to post all the best match-ups in the "Shopping Deals" topic of our Notes tab. I (Meredith Leiser) will be posting the updates for Target, CVS and Walgreens weekly deals tomorrow in that topic, as today was the last day of those deals that are posted currently.

I frequently shop for very close to FREE in those stores, WalMart as well. As for groceries, I tend to save anywhere from 40% to 75%. My next trip will be on the 17th and I will be glad to post receipts and pics of my shopping list(s) to show how I do it. But be aware, savings like that are only acquired through time-consuming watchfulness and I do several stores in that one day.

I only shop once per month, because I live 50 miles in any direction from any stores or civilization whatsoever. I usually don't get the posts from those trips up until the following day. It's a 12 hour trip, in which I shop from 5-10 stores, depending on our needs and the deals available. I'm a little camera shy so you won't find videos, but maybe I can work something out to give you a visual idea of how this all works.

I look forward to seeing it!

So I've started making my video/picture how-to. I have some editing to do, before I get to posting it. So they will depict sales from a couple weeks ago, but it will still give you all the gist of things. I'll post this thread to the wall when I have it ready. Keep on the look-out!
