From grape vine, Publix coupon that start with LU# never expire, at least for some Publix,they take expire LU#, so this deal might come back again and can get more in the future.

Sales is so cyclical, they will always come back.

Have been busy with work the last few nights and will be working next 2 nights.

Thanks for dropping by. Am a little concern that I did not see u for a while.

I guess I missed the Hillshire deal. Oh well…still learning.
Thanks!!

I’m confused on the Hillshire Farm deal. I thought I saw somewhere on the blogs that they were 1.99, but I could only find them for 2.99 in my store. A 1.00 coupon off 2.99 doesn’t seem like a great deal to me. Can someone clarify this deal for me?

Thanks for all your help!!

Hey Jamy, you think we could start a business to do shopping for other people and charge them more than we pay, but less than regular price?? We stockpile things as they go on GREAT sale. just kidding

Anyway all this boils down to is PLEASE don’t clear the shelves, leave something for the rest of us.

Sometimes, forums, blog comments can get a little challenging. Misunderstanding can arise if we do not keep an open mind.

It is a little bit different from when we go to restaurant and chat. When we chat in person, wee can immediate express our concern right then. In a forum and comment, comment come in and get interpreted differently, then sometimes we take it personally etc, and then bang … However, if we keep an open mind and always remember all of us have opinion like we all have a belly button he he he.

I totally agree with you on that : “There was a great episode of “Hoarders” on A&E where the lady had all this food that she’d never use”. I am looking for a house right now and a few people told me to get a house with big storage space for my coupon find stuffs. I do not think it is right.

I believe in resale or using it for a good cause. For eg. there is always someone out there who cannot get out of the house but would need extra toilet paper and my stock pile of toilet paper serve that purpose. For eg, tomorrow we have a yard sale to raise $ for my kido school winter soccer game, the free glad candles, Dr. Pepper that I have come very handy. And on Nov 7th, there is a local church yard sales (they charge $15 for space) and I have gotten a few woman to do it and I was thinking of giving 20% to a charitable organization or something along that line. And I was even thinking of setting up a co-op where we all bring in our free find products, either sell to public or sell within the members ( I still do not know how to go about, but that is the idea).

I think generally (I can be offensive on that), we in the Western world are hoarders, look at the sq feet of home we have and the no. of person who inhibit in the house ( I know you and I live in a small house, so we are spare , ha ha ha ha) but look at the number of toys our kids have and yet we want more and more. We are blessed in a way that we have plenty ! But, I do not think we should hoard. So, I think there has to be a balance.

However, having say that, I do not know my readers background, so I give them the benefit of doubt. Some of the readers who are in financial hardship are benefiting from this extreme coupon. I ask one of my readers how has her family dynamics changed since she started couponing ? She told me she knew she pay her rent on time and is not worry if the land lord going to evict them anytime soon, she also told me she has plenty in her fridge now for her kids and is not worry if her kids going to go to bed hungry a few days before pay check. And there are some who might not in that kind of shoes but is doing it to save $, for eg doing a little bit of yard sales or reselling to friends who do not want to take the trouble to do it , to me that is also wonderful.

But, since it is an open blog, I never know who is going to read this site or Southernsavers or Iheartpublix, there are some who really need it and really help them but of course there are some who are just hoarding it.

So, best I can do is give each person the benefit of doubt that their conscious will speak to them.

Have a good weekend near the water

If we all thought the same way, what a BORING world this would be! Thanks for keeping the site up and running….you continue to be an inspiration to so many.

I just do no want others who do stock pile, ie buy a whole lot to feel bad about it.

Amanda, no, I do not think what Rachael said is negative. I think she has a point there. Yes, it is frustrating when you go to the stores and u cannot find stuffs. Yes, it is very inconvenient . But, like I said extreme couponing is a lot of work. To be able to do it consistently demands a lot of perseverance and endurance.

It all matters to do you think it is worth while to do. The amount of $ you saved vs the time you put it ? ( Rachael, I see your point there.)

Extreme couponing can be a very frustrating adventure because a lot of times you really do not know if the cashier is going to take all your coupons, even at the same store, depend on which time you go.

I have heard a lot of people complaining and lamenting about it.

Laura C and I met in person last week. She said sometimes she just does not want to go out to shop after working (ie you have to match coupons, print coupon etc…) and I told her I share her sentiments. After standing on my feet for 12hours, seriously , even if you are the fittest human being on this earth, you feel tired too , who want to go shopping ? Sleep is more likely, right ? :):)
