Date 9/29/09

Starting this Thur (Sneak preview from HCW)

Mayfield Ice Cream, 48 oz carton, buy 1 get 1 free at 4.99

I bought 20 of the $2 coupons from ebay this morning.

I am giving away some to my friends, keeping 8 of them.

I have $1/2 Smith Field bacon, bacon is buy 1 get 1 free at $3.99

8 icecream would be 4x 5= $20
2 bacon = $4
$1 fruit = $1
Total = $25

8 x$2 ice cream coupon = $16
$1 bacon = $1
$5 Family dollar (from mail)
————————-
Total $22

Out of pocket = $3 (plus $2 ebay)

    It depends on where they are being shipped from. You can check the shipping details page and it tells you where they are being shipped from. Mine have usually only taken a couple days. But I did order some from MI and they took a little longer (maybe 4 days) luckily I had gotten a rain check on the sale item so I could still benefit from my coupons.

    JB,

    Thanks for helping readers question.

    Have you gotten all your Tyson, today is the last day for Foodlion coupon, don’t forget. (9/29/09, I thought it is tomorrow, bump it)

    TGIF is tomorrow, 9/30/9.

    Did your cat food coupon comes in yet ?

    Yes, Judith,

    This is what you can do if you want it to be fast, find a buyer that is near you. I have a friend who sell coupons on ebay and she lives in Gainesville, she promised same day delivery.

    There are option on ebay where you can choose
    a. nearest distance
    b. Cheapest
    c. most expensive.

    Normally I only go for buy it now
    Then I will search for nearest distance
    Then I will search for lowest price.

    Usually once I read on HCW(hot coupon world)’s Buy 1 get 1 free deal and I think those deals are near free or free, I will go ahead and buy up the coupons. Usually coupon are cheap when no body notice it, once a lot of people notice it, the price went up.

    I remember at one time I bought 20 $3 coupons (Seasation fish) for $1.25 and a few days later when people realized with 2 $3 coupons, the 2 packs of fish are free , they were $5.99 and the coupons were $3 each, Publix allow you to use 2 coupons for buy 1 get 1 free deal. I bought up 60 of those coupons for like $3. I gave some away and I still have the fish in my freezer :)

    I find buying coupons a lot easier and cheaper than getting Sunday paper, cut, store etc. The people who sell coupons on ebay cut for us (very neat)and all you have to do is leave them in the envelop they send you and when you go to the store, take them out and save all the hassles of getting paper, going through paper , cut it, store it. Seriously, who have the time ?

    Just Publix store coupons books alone itself is a lot of work.

    HCW normally post their BOGO deal by Monday. I normally buy on Monday and most likely get them on Thursday, Please do not wait till Thursday to order cos sometimes you might miss the sales or they arrive on Wednesday morning etc…

    I agree. Have found ebay A LOT easier!!!! I have not gotten my cat food coupons yet– hopefully tomorrow. But I figure if I miss the cat food I can stack still stack them and get cheaper dog food for my mom (not free :( but cheaper) might get some rain checks too…

    Are the ads universal for the state? I ordered these coupons as well for ice cream on Ebay when I saw your post. I went looking today for Mayfield ice cream in Ocala, just south of Gainesville, and I did not see this brand? Am I missing something? Also, where can I get the Smithfield coupon?

    Yes, one of my readers JB said she could not find the Mayfield ice cream. I look at Gainesville Publix store weekly advs, there is not Mayfield ice cream buy 1 get 1 free, so it might be this is regional. The guy who posted at HCW based on Alabama ads. Oh well, we can always keep the coupons and wait for next time :)

    I think the smithfield coupons are out now. I do not have any as well.
