im so jealous! i read about everyone saving so much money and i want to bang my head on the wall! i live in western arkansas and the only grocery store that doubles is IGA and only up to 50 cents. but the prices are so much higher than wal-mart i dont think there would be much of a difference. can someone give me tips? tell me that im not sol just because i only have walmart and iga?

thanks

i feel the same way we have a save a lot and a rameys here if you want a chain grocery you have to drive about 50 miles to get to one and as high as gas is right now you would use all your savings for that

I used to live in SC and the only time I got a good sale was when Bilo had a B1G1 sale and I used a coupon. Bilo of course does not double.
I used to get a bunch a coupons, cut them out, and mail them to my mom in NY (coupons from SC are better than NY coupons). She would brag about taking them to Wegmans and getting them doubled; she would get items free or next to nothing.
Sometimes cashiers dreaded seeing her come, though, because the out of state coupons did not scan and they would have to put them in manually.

That is odd.... I would think a barcode is a barcode. KWIM?

I wanted to reply and let you know in case you didn't, I do competetive ad pricing at Walmart, and use my coupons...
If you take ads like Winn Dixie, Food World and Bruno's for example, with you when you shop with you to Walmart, they honor the competors ads, except the Buy 1 get one free items. you show the ad if it is cheaper and they give it to you at that price. Saves alot especially if you have coupons to go with that item.
Hope this helps.
