So I have "The Other Half" buy 10 KC Stars from Dollar Tree every Sunday morning. More and more it is a fight to get them, but he's a good sport getting up to get them.
Today's coupons were so good that once in you figure in the double coupon value from Dillons, which is where I do most of my shopping, one newspaper paid for the whole stack of papers. On top of all of the inserts, I also was pleased to find BONUS P&G coupons inside the KC Star. It's an add for Walmart, but the coupons are good at any retailer.
Among my favorite were the Safeguard or Ivory soap coupons, the Colgate and Crest Toothpaste coupons, the Colgate Toothbrush coupons, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Banquet Snacks coupon! I have yet to find a store that carries the Banquet Snacks, but with a $0.35 coupon doubled at Rons or Dillons, it should be pretty cheap.
What were your favorite coupons?

Sunday Coupon Preview
It's the first Sunday of the month! There will be three inserts in the paper, one RedPlum, one SmartSource, and one P&G! I love the P&G weekends because those coupons usually result in FREE STUFF!!! You might have to hold on to the coupons for three or four weeks, but I guarantee it will have some great deals. It's also worth remembering that Joplin Globe and the Morning Sun can easily have different coupons from the KC Star. It's worth picking up some of each!
The coupon highlights for this weekend are:
Barilla Pasta Sauce $0.55/1
Colgate Toothbrush $0.40/1
Colgate Toothpaste $0.50/1
Sargento Snack Product $0.50/1
Cascade $1/1
Crest Toothpaste $0.50/1
Crest 3D White $1/1
Dawn Dish Soap $0.50/1
Ivory/Safeguard Soap $0.35/1
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser $0.50/1
Degree Deoderant $0.75/1
There are many more that you can see at sundaycouponpreview.com, but these are the highlights that will usually result in incredibly cheap products! Remember, there are differences depending on region, so these coupons may be slightly different in our area.
Dillons will double all coupons $0.50 and under, and over $0.50 will become worth $1, even when the coupon says "Do Not Double." Rons IGA will double coupons under $0.50.

Swagbucks and Coupons
Swagbucks.com is a search engine that gives you points for searching and for other activities. They have partnered with coupons.com. You still print out the coupons the same way, but every time you use a coupon printed from swagbucks, you earn 10 points. At 450 points (or bucks) you can buy a $5 Amazon Gift card or gift cards to other stores. You just add the gift card to your Amazon account. There is no expiration date on the cards. I usually earn 1 or 2 gift cards every month.

Free Candy Bars!
Check some convenient stores for Crunch Bar and Butterfinger displays. There are coupons for $1.00/2. I don't know yet if Dillons or Rons IGA has them on sale for $0.50 right now, but they go on sale frequently. Just grab a couple of coupons and hold onto them until Butterfinger or Crunch Bars go on sale! Just remember to save some of those coupons for other people.

The Beauty of Register Rewards
Sometimes to begin your savings you have a put out a little more money to save money. To begin with you will need to put out a little bit of money to buy some Sunday newspapers. At Walgreens, the best way to save money is to put out a little bit of money on items that they have Register Rewards which are coupons back when you buy certain items each week.
This week Walgreens has Keebler Cookies 4/$10. There were some Keebler and Kelloggs coupon a few weeks ago in the paper. If you have those you will pay $8 for 4. But then you will receive a coupon for $5 good toward your next purchase! Just remember you cannot use a coupon to receive back the same coupon. For example, you cannot use the $5 Keebler coupon on the Keebler cookies again because the coupon will not print out after purchase.
Sometimes if the items I want do not cost very much, I will save those Register Rewards for a couple of weeks.

Welcome to Couponing
I am starting this blog as trial. I started couponing the beginning of May (only 3 1/2 months ago) and have already saved $745 just at Dillons, that doesn't even count Walgreens and Rons IGA. I thought it would be great to let others new to couponing in on the rules.
Let's go over a few ground rules of couponing! First, a lot of companies have started setting limits on the number of "like coupons" used in each shopping trip. P&G coupons are almost always limited in the number you can use in one shopping trip.
Next, try to be respectful to other couponers. Don't clear the shelf of a product even if you can get it for free or receive a surplus back from it. Leave some for the next person. At Dillons I would even prefer to miss out on the bargain as long as my matching coupon is good for awhile because their rainchecks are good for 60 days.
Third, share in the wealth. I have received enough stuff mostly for free (at Dillons and Rons IGA you still have to pay tax on the original amount) that I have helped my sister and mother start on a stockpile, too!
So get your coupons tomorrow, and let's begin looking for local coupon match-ups!
