Ok people I am going to try and post what we purchased this past weekend, it gives me something to do while we wait for the store's weekly ads to come out Wednesday! First off the most important thing that we learned was at Winn Dixie, they had a promotion that if you purchased a tide detergent(100oz)@$14.99 you received for free: 1 Shout stain remover(22oz), 1 Downey liquid fabric softener(64oz), 1 box (40ct) downey dryer sheets, 1 Winn Dixie concentrated bleach, 1 (2pk) Purex 3in1 sheets. We had coupons for all of the free items except for the bleach and purex 3 in 1 sheets, as we were picking up our free items a sweet, friendly store clerk saw my buggy with the huge coupon binder in it and asked " Are you going to use coupons on the free items?" I hesitated, not knowing how to answer and finally decided honesty was the best policy, "Yes." I stammered out to which she replied, just be sure to let them scan your customer rewards card last! She went on to explain that if they scan your card first the cash register will not let you take the coupons off of the free items! I was very thankful for this bit of information. Now onto the items we purchased, I will start at Winn Dixie; (2)Armor Sizzle and Serve Link Sausages, (3) Ballpark Angus Franks, Merita Hotdog buns,(2) Pompeian Olive Oil, (2) pkg Chicken thighs, (2) pkg Chicken breast, (4) pkg Pork ribs, (2) pkg pork chops, (2) London Broil, (4) Dukes mayos,(4) bx Gallon Ziplock bags, (6) box Quart Ziplock bags, (4)Gallons Winn Dixie milk,(6) Rice a roni, (2) Pasta roni, (2) Lays chips, (2) Winn Dixie Chips, (2) Natures Own Bread, (2) Natures Own English Muffins, (2) Doritos Chips, (2) Rotel, (2) Martha White Muffin Mix, (1) Winn Dixie Pimentos, (4) Progresso Chicken and Rice Soups, (2) Frenchs Mustard, (6) Kellogg's cereals, (2) Frenches Honey mustard dip, (2) Winn Dixie Cranberry Juices, (2) Doz.

As you can see very few store brands, store brands purchased was free with something else. I will do the CVS tomorrow, just wanted people to be able to see what regular working women can do with coupons, you don't have to go to the extremes of dumpster diving or have a day a week to devote to clipping to save money. Right now in my laundry room I have enough laundry detergent to last us about six months and I am out of pocket about $20.00 for all of it, checked at Wal-Mart today and the tide there was $16.97! I am hoping that we can post the deals we find and coupons you will need here eventually as we get better, please post any questions or tips would love to here from other real couponers! By the way a great resource is www.southernsavers.com.
