Welcome to Coupons 757

Welcome to my blog! I am starting my journey of serious couponing. I am discovering the best ways to collect, organize and use coupons for Hampton Roads grocery stores and more. Clipping coupons can be tedious and time consuming but I have saved more than $600 in the past month and I've barely scratch the surface of what can be saved. During this time I've invested approximately three hours of my time each week, that's like paying myself $50 an hour! Plus I get to reap the rewards of all of the variety of items that I normally couldn't buy.

Hampton Roads has held pretty strong through these tough economic times, but it is starting to hit home a little. I hope that you will join me on this journey as we discover the best deals in our own stomping ground and save some money! Feel free to comment on any posts and add your own special finds and success stories.

Follow along with me and I will post any great deals that I find in our area. It is up to you to clip the coupons. Currently I recommend clipping coupons from the Virginia Pilot, Richmond Times and Washington Post as well as printing online coupons from http://www.coupons.com/ or http://www.couponmom.com/. Also, make sure you have your store savings card and that it is registered online.

I'm still learning too, so everything will not be perfect. I am not quite organized enough yet to tell you which coupon came from where except that it came from the above sources. You will need to make a coupon book and when you see the deal posted flip through it and see if you have the coupon too.


I do not intend to replace the major sites like Coupon Mom, I just want to make it easier for everyone in Hampton Roads to find really great deals that are relavent to us.

E VIC Specials, Target Freebies and free Iron Man 2 toys

So... I am not super impressed with the grocery deals that are out there this week.  I have devoted most of my couponing time this week to clipping, printing and organizing my coupons.  There are a couple of good deals out there, such as the Saturday E VIC 4/$5 Kellogg's Cereals (which I have coupons for to make them 75¢ ea) and the B1G2 bags of frozen chicken breast.  I have decided to skip the chicken breast because after their B1G2 deal two weeks ago and Bloom's B1G2 last week I don't think I can get any more chicken in my freezer.

I was a little excited though that many of my coupons could be used for trial sized items at Target.  I ended up with some Jergen's Daily Glow, Crest Mouthwash, Crest Toothpaste, Old Spice, Secrect Clinical, Visine and more for basically free!  $48 worth for a little over $2 (mostly taxes).  I was also excited to see that if your coupon value is more than the purchase that they put the rest towards the other items in your cart.

I stopped by Wal-Mart (I really despise that place) and saw on their clearance rack Iron Man 2 toys on clearance for $3.  I had $3 off coupons from the Sunday paper so it made it free (15¢ tax)!  My son doesn't even know what Iron Man is, but I figured I would save it for a birthday gift.

I was really hoping for some Super Doubles or Triples somewhere this week but it didn't happen.  I did however, receive an email back from Kroger saying that the stores in our area will still allow stacking of e coupons with paper coupons.  This is pretty exciting, so I will have to do some research on what types of deals are available there.

Please enter your email to follow my postings!  I don't have any followers yet and it makes me kinda sad.
