I have a few extra if you would like them. E-mail me at phillis.rogers58@gmail.com.

You get the same q's that we get in Columbus for the Red Plum. If you can locate a AJC, they have great q's.

I know about the $2 coupons but how did you get 5 for .47?

No limit, but you can only get one RR per item per transaction and you can not use the RR to buy a duplicate.

You will not receive another RR using the same item's RR from a prior transaction even if the pretax total exceeded the value of the coupon.

the coupon isn't limited to jut the quantum (confusing layout though!) it is also good for the powerball or gelpacs. hope this helps!

Quantum is pretty good too. Definitely worth trying.

The Palmolive dishwashing detergent is also FREE. There is a store coupon in the Walgreens circular and a Palmolive coupon. Match them up and you can get 2 Free! The Palmolive is in the Sunday paper .

My Palmolive coupon says they are only good on 20 ounce and the ones on sale at Wag's are the small ones.

I don't know if there is a limit on the number of Finish products you can buy, but you will HAVE to do each one in a separate transaction and NOT use the RR you get for the next transaction. If you do more than one in a transaction, you will only get one RR. And if you try to use one of the RRs you get on this product, for the next one you buy, the RR will not print. In other words, you can only buy one at a time, and only use your manufacture's coupon on each transaction. Walgreens is too complicated. It's even too complicated to explain!! HTH…sigh. :)

The quantity allowed will vary by store.

You can get the circular online at walgreens dot com and print out the circular coupon.

First of all, don't panic.It will take some time but if you watch the videos on this site under “how to coupon” you'll get it down in no time. Yes, you will only save three dollars the way you laid it out. However, you want to wait until an item is at its lowest price about every six weeks (watch the site) and then use your mfr and search for store coupons at that time. Good luck and have fun.

It takes time to see the really big savings in your grocery bills. The biggest way to save money is to stockpile when you can match a coupon with a sale. Right now, you'll have to buy the regular things that you need, plus you'll want to stock up on some things that are a really good deal this week, so you won't see those mega savings.

By stock up, that typically means enough of that item for 6-8 weeks. (Reason for this: if you look at the “learn to coupon” you'll see that if it's on sale now, it will likely be on sale again in 6-8 weeks.) So yeah, you may not get a great deal on the cereal you need for this week, but the next time it goes on sale, you'd match your coupons and stock up so that you didn't have to buy it until the next good sale.

I've been doing this for about 3 months now. For the first month, I was spending pretty close to the same as I was before I was couponing, but I was getting WAY more stuff. Now, I have a good stockpile, so I really only pick up good deals plus the staple items (milk, bread, fruit, meat when I find it on sale, etc.) With the stockpile I have, I don't have to buy much and could get away getting everything I need (plus some stuff we don't :P) for our family of 4 for under $30 each week (including diapers). I typically shop at Harris Teeter and Rite Aid, with a little Aldi thrown in.

Congrats! Couponing is so much fun! I started Jan 1st of 2010, so I've been doing it a full year now. I've kept track of my savings and have averaged a savings of 62% on every grocery-related purchase I made (that's an average–so it wasn't every deal!). It made SUCH a HUGE difference in our grocery budget (and getting rid of a lot of debt) in just one year. You'll be so glad you're doing this!!!

I think it will be dishonest to use $2 off 2 10 oz items when coupon indicates to use it on 20 oz. I guess it is left up to the individual, but it gives a bad rep to us, the couponers, if we do it dishonestly just to make few bucks or a get a freebie.

I actually did use it last night at both CVS and at Walgreens before coming home and seeing your post. I honestly never realized the size requirement on it. I know I will check them better now.

You need to start ordering them. My friend and I live in Athens. We would get the Times and the Sentinel on Sundays. Then decided to start ordering the inserts from wholecouponinserts(dot)com. I found out there are WAY WAY WAY more coupons in those. Check it out. We get the 10 of each package and split it… so if you have a friend to go in with you it is worth it. HTH

I went to 2 Walgreens today to use 1 coupon for the Finish gelpacs……both stores completely sold out………………all I wanted was 1 BOX ! I am going to talk to the manager of the store closest to me about this.

Happy New Year!

You bring up some great points. In my opinion there are more honest couponers than not, but it's easy to focus on the dishonest tactics. One of my pet peeves is using various addresses to score extra rebates. I've heard this practice justified six ways from Sunday, but in the end it is mail fraud. Many of the forms state that it is a prosecutable action and also state products must be purchased by the person who is receiving the rebate and also that there is only ONE allow per individual, household, address, etc etc, etc. In other words, there is not really room for interpretation.

I don't use coupons for the wrong size product, either. Heck, I don't even use the high value coupons for trial sizes because I don't want to store a bunch of tiny one-or-two-use packages, not to mention the environmental impact.

In the end, I just do what is ethical to me. I can't really define the ethics of others, nor can I keep them from perhaps getting into trouble over a $10 rebate if they are determined to do so.

This isn't misusing a coupon–It matches what's on sale. I do agree with you, overall. However, I also find that stores (Walgreens in particular) will take it too far the other way, and, for example, not let you use a coupon that should be for an item (i.e., the children's occi deal this week….)

thank you Amy for clarifying. I'm in the Richmond area & was confused when I didn't get the RR. I'm with you, I'd rather have the RR! :)

I quit buying it because of it. Instead I order from wholecouponinserts(dot)com.

I tend to have a hard time with Chattanoogas news paper they sometimes don't have any coupons. I have started looking through them before I purchase them.

The deal is only on one, I think, so this is how you do it. Buy the Finish and pay the $1.24 get the RR back for the next time. Then buy something totally different with those rewards because if you pay for your second detergent with it, it won't spit out your rewards for the second one. The second transaction you do can be something else that has rewards and you can pay for the third transaction (your other detergent) with it and it'll still give you rewards for the second that you can use on your next order whenever it is. Hope this makes sense, kinda hard to explain! LOL

Where can you get 7 of those coupons anyway??? I live on post at Ft. Rucker and we didn't get ANY of those $2.50 off Finish coupons in the Dothan Eagle, we just got a lousy $.75 off one. Any ideas?

I would call back to that store and speak to the Manager, preferably the store Mgr. Tell them the day, and aprox time you were there. I have never been refused a rain check. Limits yes, mine is limiting to 1 per person per day because of the limited supply, but flat refusal, Never.
Either try another store, or contact corporate. They will want to know about this crummy customer service. (Who knows, you may get some coupons out of the deal.)

This in only accurate in very *rare* instances. If this is what they told you they don't know how their coupon machines work.
