hi dian
i have a few ?s for you……..
#1—-if i have 2 kraft mayo coupons buy 2 get 1.50 off…..can i use 2 coupons(which i have)
and get $3/2??
#2—–how do you get free gillette body wash this week(8-4-10) @ Kroger? what coupons or what are you doing to get this.
#3—-can you combine a kroger ecoupon wih a manufacture coupon.
for ex.. there’s a kroger ecoupon $2/venus razor and this week in the Sunday paper there was a venus coupon…..can i combine these…??
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@Jessica: #1. Nope, sorry but, the $1.50 off 2 covers both items, so you can’t use 2 of them unless you buy 4
#2. Gillette Body Wash – Sale $1.99 use $2/1 from 8/1 PG – Final FREE Buy 4
#3. No, and an eCoupon can’t be doubled either (just FYI), so you have to choose either the eCoupon or the manu Q
Does all of this make sense? If not, feel free to tell me what you didn’t understand and I will be happy to explain!
Thanks for asking!
Dian
Not to be a bugger (and yeah, I’m jumping in a year later, lol), but if you’ve already loaded an eCoupon, it takes precedence over any physical coupon. So before you load an eCoupon, be VERY sure it’s the one you want to use. It really sucks when you’ve already loaded an eCoupon then you find a physical coupon worth more off. Oh, and most eCoupons cannot be removed from your loyalty card either.
TJ » You are correct, they have really cracked down on that. Some have found that if you use your Loyalty Card AFTER you give your paper coupons you can circu,vent the register and make the stacking work.
Thanks!
Dian
No East Coast (MA/RI/NH)?
@Erin: I’m still looking – as soon as I find one I’ll get it up! Do you know of someone who does the East Coast?
Thanks,
Dian
I do the East Coast. I live in New Hampshire
I’ve been on the search the past couple weeks, and haven’t found anyone yet. I would do it myself, but there’s not enough hours in the day for me to handle it (haha). I will keep you posted if I do find anyone, and who knows, I might even find the time one of these days!
@Erin: Well, the door is always open, you let me know if you find someone or you want to tackle it!
thanks!!
Dian
I want a blogger from the frozen North to post here lol
@Tami: Tell me a state and a store and i will see what i can do!
Thanks!
Dian
Any coupon match-ups for NC?? Is that with any of the “generalized” territories?
@Gerrie S: Gerrie, sorry it took so long to answer – the Southeast area on the Penny Pinching Bargain Bunch also covers NC!
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
Dian
I was going to do the deal for the snack crackers but noticed the coupon said (8-16.5oz) Those are only 3.2 oz. How is there a coupon I am missing?
Sheree,
The ones at Kroger? That coupon is for 4.04 – but, so far Kroger is taking them for the 4 oz snack crackers.
Is that what you are talking about?
Dian
Aw man, I got all excited, than looked in my 9/26 Smartsource and could not find the coupon.
Looks like I am sticking to Fuze and yokisoba noodles this week.
@Samantha Kelley: Sorry!
You can buy them on eBay or from a clipping service – you can probable get 20 on eBay for $.99 and FREE shipping!
Happy Shopping!
Dian
What about Augusta, GA? I really want to learn about coupons/free/stuff. I am stay home as mom of 3 boys.
@Amanda: What stores do you have there? There may be stores that cover that area – but aren’t quite listed that way. Like Kroger covers more than 1 state in each area.
Let me know and I will see what I can find for you!
Thanks!
Dian
I shop a lot in Augusta, GA
We have Bi-Lo, Ingles, Kroger, Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Food Lion, Publix, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Fred’s and Big Lots. Just to name a few…. LOL
@Gina: Wow! You could make some of the best deals with all those stores to choose from! I haven’t seen a Fred’s in years!
Happy Shopping!
Dian
Is there a sight that you know of that shows how to get the best deals at Freds? I get kind of dizzy when I look at all the deals and try to figure out who has the best one for what I need.
Abilene, TX?
@Ariel Harrell: What store in particular? Kroger in DFW covers TX and LA. Let me know and I’ll see if I can find it.
Dian
How about SO.Cal? Target, Ralphs, Albertsons, CVS, etc? =( California is sooo expensive!
@Kiza: Thanks – I will start looking today!
Dian
How about Valdosta, GA? We have Winn Dixie, Publix, Walmart, Harvey’s, CVS, Walgreen, Rite Aid, Save A Lot, Target.
What about Gurnee,IL? walgreens,CVS Target, walmart
@Christina C: Well CVS, Walgreens, and for the most part Target, are the same everywhere. However, WalMart Stores vary even in the same town – so they are very hard to keep up with!
I am looking to add more stores this coming year so be on the look out!
Thanks!
Dian
Hi Dian,
I shop at Kroger in Raleigh, NC but I do not see that listed in the Southeast/NC section. Is there another section that would cover Kroger for my area? Thanks!
Trying hard to reduce my spending and loving your posts! I am wondering what I should follow. I am in Sothern California on the West Coast. Thanks. I think you do an amazing thing here! Christine
Christine – I am working on adding more stores in more areas. What stores do you have in your area?
I can help you find the ones you need.
Thanks!
Dian
Do you have any plans of doing these lists for the NW? If not, do you know anyone who does? Thanks!
I love this site. It is so helpful when you are about to go shopping for the week. I have been on a coupon kick for the past month or so and have really found coupons to save a lot of money. You just have to learn how to match the coupon up with the item you are getting.
Keep up the good work!
@TJ: Thanks!
Dian
dian, when you click on albertsons who is this lady that shows up? what area is she located in? because some of the specials she is showing are not at the store, like the 2.99 tide
@Linda: Her name is Tamona, she is a good friend of mine in Dallas who is writing up Albertsons for me now, since all the Albertsons near me have closed.
If you look on Albertsons website at the sales ad for this week you will see the Tide for $2.99. It’s on page 3.
Happy Shopping!
Dian
Dian,
Do you have any CA stores and coupons? I love your site. I just got into using coupons and I am so excited about it. I love your site, it is teaching me great tips. I live near Santa Cruz, in California- we have walgreens, safeway, cvs, target and save-mart. Can you help me out where I can get these types of coupons or can I use the ones from other states? I appreciate it.
@Erica: Thanks for the kind words! For the most part Walgreens, CVS, and Target are the same everywhere, so any of the ones you see on the list for those should work. I will look for Save-Mart and Safeway for you, too! So, keep checking back! Coupons are in the Sunday papers or you can print coupons online, too!
Thanks!
Dian
I am new here and I have been looking through the site a bit at a time. The problem I have is I live in a very rural area and The closest stores to me are DG, Rite Aide, Foodlion, CVS, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Fresh Pride, And Walmart. So we dont have alot of choices as to where to shop. There are no news papers that I know of in the area that offer coupons anymore and the ones I see online dont seem to change but once a month. So what would be the way to get ahead doing this.
@Ann Lewis: You may want to purchase coupons from eBay or Coupon Dede that might help. Or have someone from another area mail them to you.
I would maybe use Craigslist and see if you can find other couponers in your area, maybe they know where to get coupons in your area.
I hope that helps, let me know if I can help with anything else!
Thanks!
Dian
I just wanted to let you know that your link for RiteAid in the Southeast/NC section isn’t there. It’s the same link for CVS. They’re tied together for some reason. Love your site. Looking forward to checking it out more!
Thanks for letting me know I will fix it!
Thanks Again!
Dian
I am trying to start couponing..I didn’t see any stores listed for MS..I know you cant really find many places that double coupons,and also I have tried to get items for free,but was told you cant do that ..Other Words I can not use a coupon the exact price as the product..How do I get around this??
michelle » Well, let’s start with what stores you are looking for – Kroger? What else do you have near you? WalMart? You have to print and know your stores coupon policy – that is the most important and then work with in those rules. Many times the employees don’t know or fully understand the policies. You have to show it to them sometimes or call customer service at corporate and sometimes you have to involve a District manager.
Tell me what stores you are wanting to shop at and what trouble you are having and we can go from there!
I hope that helps!
Dian
Hi Dian,
Any store listings for Georgia? Atlanta area? Thanks!
Ann
Ann » What stores are you looking for?
I love this site… I’m struggling to find the same deals in Utah
I wasnt looking for any one store just saying that we dont have like krogers or places like that here so if I use coupons they gotta be for walmart or foodlion. And to shop at the local walgreens is an hour away;
Dian,
I’m brand new to couponing, never used a coupon in my life before. I live in Warner Robins, GA, and have Kroger, Publix, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, Piggly Wiggly, and Harveys to choose from. I’m struggling to match up the deals and find out about double coupons. Can you help me?
Hi there, I just found your website tonight & can’t wait to explore it more. I have been trying to find deals for Central CA, I saw that Wal-Mart was listed along w/Raley’s…I would love to have someone post deals at Safeway, Winco, Save Mart, etc…
cyndi dickason » Thanks for letting me know! Iw ill work on rounding those stores up!
Thanks!
Dian
Just trying to find out if Portland, Oregon is a part of the penny pinchers
Ashley – What stores are you looking for in particular, sometimes they are in a region not a town for their list.
Thanks!
Dian
We usually shop at Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Walgreens, Safeway, and WinCo
this is probably a dumb question but when you print out coupons can they be on colored paper? i have really light blue printer paper and your able to see everything but i dont want to use it if it will be a waste? thanks so much! LLLOOOVVVEEE the site!
jessica » I would think it would be fine. I haven’t tried it, and I suspect it will be up to the store as to whether they want to take them or not.
If I were you, I might print 1 in blue and the rest in white and see if it flies the first time and if so, then you know!
Let us know how it turns out!
Thanks!
Dian
Hi Dian,
This is the third time i scrolled on to your pinching penney saver but i can’t seem to find my area. I am from CA 91801 is our area code, .and the store i go to is Albertson’s walgreen’s ad ralph’s. Would you mind helping me where to see it in here. I would really appreciate your help.
Two thumbs up for your site. God bless you.
Wenjie » I am adding stores all the time, we don’t have Albertson’s, or Ralph’s for CA right now. You can use any of the Walgreens on the list and they should all be the same if not very close to the same as for your area.
Thanks!
Dian
Hey! I just started couponing, and such! Really want to learn how to save! Love the site. However i’m from Montana. We have Albertson’s, Walgreens, Walmart, & Smith’s…….will any of the Albertson’s/Walmart/walgreens things work? as in the ones you have here on your page? Just wondering! Thank You
Daphene » Walgreens should work. Albertson’s are broken in to a few sections in the country. So, check their website and find the deals that match the sale listed on their site. As far as WalMart goes they are often different even across the street from each other – so, any of the ones listed should be CLOSE to what you can find in your store.
I hope that helps!
Dian
hi good morning found u on youtube n i love it iam new to this n would love to know more about saving as a mom of 4 n a grandbaby i need alot of help so i seen u had some store that have deals for certain states but if u can add chicago,il on there its hard over here i would really apprecate it..thank u
araceli » The Chicago stores are listed in the Midwest section. Let me know if you need anything else!
Thanks!
Dian
What about Douglasville, GA or Atlanta,GA? What state or region would that be considered or have you not found any deals or bargains on the stores in my area yet? Stores: Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Target, Dollar General, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Food Depot, K-Mart and soon, Big Lots! Hope you can help!
Thx for all the info that you have provided for all of us beginners!
Delaney » Walmart stores have different deals and prices even across the street from each other so you can use the ones that are posted as guides for your store. I post Dollar General Match-ups. Here is the current one: http://www.groceryshopforfree.com/2011/05/dollar-general-free-1-or-less-deals-coupon-match-ups-for-530/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dollar-general-free-1-or-less-deals-coupon-match-ups-for-530
CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid run pretty much the same deals and ads everywhere so you can use any of the ones posted.
Hope that helps!
Dian
Does your Midwest section include Missouri? I didn’t see one for us, but we are considered Midwest, so I wanted to ask because we do have a Kroger & Walmart, but didn’t see it in the list of stores for our area. Plus, we also have a store called Dollar General, & they have GREAT deals all the time for snacky foods/drinks on the cheap, brand names too. Plus they accept manu coupons now, too! They don’t double, but its worth the savings.
Monica » I post Dollar General Match-ups. Here is the current one: http://www.groceryshopforfree.com/2011/05/dollar-general-free-1-or-less-deals-coupon-match-ups-for-530/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dollar-general-free-1-or-less-deals-coupon-match-ups-for-530
Walmart stores have different deals and prices even across the street from each other – but, you can use the Walmart list I do each week as a guide to what may be on sale at your store.
Not sure about Kroger – I don’t see any Kroger’s in Missouri
Thanks!
Dian
Dian, when you pull up Kroger’s homepage, type n 63379. That’s Troy, MO’s zip code, we do for sure have one because I go there quite a few times a month
Please let me know if anyone of your wonderful blogger friends does the Austin, Texas area! I am trying to learn everything I can so maybe I can start my own blog to help others in my area! Thanks and I love your site!!!
Monica » Thanks for the kind words! Depending on what stores you are interested in, most should fall into the Houston area deals or the Dallas area deals listed!
Thanks!
Dian
My stores here are Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Randall’s & H.E.B.
Thanks
Monica » Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General and Family Dollar are pretty much the same anywhere – so any Texas lists will probably work for you. I would use Randall’s and HEB from Houston or you can use HEB from South Texas.
Hope that helps!
Dian
Great Thanks so much!!! Happy Coupon-ing!!!
Monica » You’re very welcome! You, too!
Thanks!
Dian
Can you do one for Indiana at Kroger?
Bales » I am looking for someone to do one for you!
Thanks!
Dian
Hi, I just saw a show on TV and it got me curious. I like your site. I know nothing about all this. I guess I have a bit to check out. I am in the Savannah Ga. area. If anyone out there is near this area I would be interested in talking with you to get ideas on the best ways to get coupons and places to use them.
What about the Oklahoma area? Homeland, Walmart, CVS
Tam » I will definitely be looking out for the stores! Thanks for letting me know which stores you want!
I will announce on Facebook and Twitter whenever I get new stores.
Thanks,
Dian
Hi dian,
Looking for a way to retrieve an old coupon but it doesn’t expire til 10-31-11,
The Ball Accessory -1.00 coupon listed on your grocery shop for free. It does say SS insert but does not pull anything up.
Thanks
donna » Hi! $1/1 Ball Accessory Item 7/10/2011 SS Insert (exp 10/31/2011) Means $1 off 1 Ball Accessory Item – you can find that coupon in the (SS) Smart Source Sunday Paper Coupon insert from the week of 7/10/2011 and it expires 10/31/2011.
Here is a page full of other abbreviations that might help as you look thru the site: Coupon Lingo, I hope that helps!
Thanks!
Dian
Is there anyway Wyoming can be on this list?
Donna » I will look for some Wyoming stores. What stores do you want list for?
Dian
Hi Dian,
Since I am in Wyoming and considered the lost state,lol I am interested in getting a blog for up here can you give pointers?
Thanks
Donna » I would love to help you in any way I can.
The best thing is to ask me questions and I can answer them – otherwise you could become overwhelmed right off the bat.
So, ask away!
Dian
when i go to the penny pinching bargain site and try to click on food lion for the east coast nothing comes up. I am new to this site and was just wondering whats going on.
Angela burchett » Thanks for letting me knowing! I fixed it!
Thanks again,
Dian
I have some coupons for buy 2 candy bars get 1 free. At the CVS here in SC they had a sell for buy 2 get 1 free already. My question is if I used my coupon would I get 2 free after buying 2? I asked the cashier and she was like save the coupon for another time because its already buy2 get 1 free.
Amy » This is a common question – here is the response from :
Kerri
CVS/pharmacy
Customer Relations
08300079
“When an item is on sale for buy one, get one free and the customer has a buy one get one free coupon for that same product, the coupon will be accepted and both items will essentially become free (plus any applicable sales tax). Also, two manufacturer coupons can be used on a buy one get one free purchase as long as two items are scanned at the register. The system logic sees two items scanned and will allow two coupons.”
Thanks!
Dian
I hope that helps!
I have a questions. First question: If I buy two products and the coupon says I need to buy 2 can I use 2 coupons. Weis told me no. and to let you know I still can’t click on the foodlion for north east. I see that you have kroger listed for WV but what part of west virginia. I live in Martinsburg and we don’t have a kroger. when I look on bing.com for kroger they keep direction me to a jewely store in hagerstow md.
Angela burchett » On the first question – if you have a coupon that says $2/2, for example – you have to purchase 2 and that coupon covers both items so you can only use 1 coupon. Now, if the coupon is Buy One Get One then you can use an additional coupon for the “Buy One” part of the other coupon. That Food Lion is for the East Coast not the North east
. I am not sure which parts of WV have Kroger stores. If you go to Kroger.com and search you can see where they are. They say there are 50 in the state.
Hope that helps,
Dian
sorry about that mistake I notice it after I sent it. I enjoy this site and thank you for all the hard work you do put in to find deals for the rest of us.
Angela burchett » Thank you so much for the kind words!
Dian
I live in Florida and we have other stores besides what is listed. But then I notice that you have Aldi’s under another state. Will Aldi’s be the same prices?
Karen Kochenburger » No, they will be different in different areas. We just got Aldi’s here last year, so, it’s still kind of a novelty for us!
Dian
Is there a blog for Wichita Kansas?
Is there a blog for Hickory NC matchups?
The stores here are CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Food Lion, Lowes, Aldi, Freds, Dollar General, Family Dollar and of course Wal-Mart.
Marlene » There is not one specifically for Hickory, but, you should be able to use the Southeast/NC & the NC/Charlotte for Lowe’s, Walgreens, & CVS. Walmart stores are different even across the street from each other so, most of the Walmart lists you find anywhere will be a guide. Family Dollar & Dollar General are pretty much the same everywhere, as are Rite Aid, CVS, & Walgreens.
I hope that helps!
Dian
That should say bringing us the Wegman’s Deals for the Mid-Atlantic Area!
you don’t have any for seattle wa?? by the way love your site!!!!
Christina » Not so far! Always looking to add more, though!
Thanks for the kind words, too!
Dian
I love this site!!! I use the walmart and target sections ALOT!! I wish you could do dillions. I know they are a krogers assosiate, but the kroger deals aren’t always the same
and that is pretty much the only store besides walmart and target here in Wichita, KS. Well either way thanks alot for creating the site.
cherie » Wow! Thanks for the kind words!
I will look for Dillon’s and see what I can do!
Thanks again for taking the time to leave such kind words!
Dian
Hi Dian,
I have been couponing for a few months now, and although I haven’t gotten anything for free, I have saved quite a bit of money. Unfortunately, I was looking at your penny pinching bargain bunch page and there wasn’t much listed for my area. I live in Medford, WI. (We have Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and County Market (a SuperValu Store)) About 45 miles from me is Wausau and they have Walgreens, Target, Wal-Mart, Shopko, Dollar General and a few others. Could you possibly incorporate these into your list?
Thanks a lot, Brett
Brett Gagnon » I am so sorry this apparently got lost!
I will definitely look for those.
The Walgreens and Dollar General are going to be pretty similar around the country. But, I will definitely look for more store lists in your area!
Thanks!
Dian
I live in Oklahoma, just across the state line from Ft Smith Ar. Could you find these match-ups in my area? Oh, PLEASE? And Thank You!!
Paula » I will try! What stores are you looking for in particular?
I am in Indianapolis (suburb) Indiana, we have Kroger, Walmart, Big Lots, Dollar General, Walgreens, Meijer and more. What area would I use? Thanks Dian for all your hard work. God bless.
Sharon
Sharon » For Kroger & Meijer I think Greater Cincinnati/Northern KY would work. For The rest you can choose any, they are going to be pretty much the same. Walmart stores can be different even across the street from each other. But, they are generally close.
I hope that helps!
Thanks so much for the kinds words!!
Dian
hi diane, i’m just started at couponing–i have read your blog over and over and just starting to understand it a little bit. but i’m getting very excited and can’t wait until i can go to the store!! i have lots of coupons and when i go to that penny pinching site i get only walmart. we have smiths and the dollar store here but lots of stores in carson city which i shop alot at. i live in dayton nv and my area code is 89403. could you check and see if i’m on the right track
i click on the west coast and just got walmart. also how do you read it this is april and i see things on sell –like in 2011. i hope you can help me ,i just want to get my grocery bill down so badly. do you think theirs hope for me?? thanks alot. joyce
joyce » I am still looking for more stores to add all the time
As far as Walmart – they are pretty close anywhere you go – I mean honestly prices in Walmart stores across the street from each other can vary in price – but, they are pretty close in price.
What did you see that said 2011?
Thanks!
Dian
@Gina: I don’t, I can keep my eyes open, though!
thanks!
Dian
