You can often times find the inserts on Saturday when you but the early Sunday edition--but you should look through the paper before purchasing it because they may be missing in one pare but in the next. The early Sunday edition does cost less than buying the Sunday paper on Sunday.

Which I did with no luck either. Can you repost the Golden Rules? I am just getting started in couponing... and trying to read all that I can so as to not feel overwhelmed. Thanks for all you offer!

They have a grocery section and sell many GF/OG/Natural items in bulk at HUGE savings vs. Fresh and Natural Fds. Their "SuperSaver" Ground shipping is usually free. You have to buy bulk but the overall savings can be significant. 2)Try shopping at Costco (if you haven't already). If you're new, go to the customer service desk for a free trial walk-through. Costco offers TONS of GF/OG options and are always adding more. I've never seen such good prices on OG milk/butter/soy milk (and tons of other options) anywhere. The $45 membership will pay for itself quickly esp. if you take advantage of bigger ticket items like electronics or prescription glasses. SIDE NOTE: I'm not a Sam's Club member but I've heard from friends they're not at OG/GF friendly as Costco is. Good luck! Here are two ideas: 1) Look for your favorite shelf foods on Amazon.com.

No other large national chains that I'm aware of price match. It is a great question to ask your local grocery stores, just in case they have a policy like that.

The example on the post isn't quite clear. Normally when we post, we write the list like this: (Line1) Yoplait Yogurt $.50 each ($3 for 6) (Line 2) <strong>Buy 6 and</strong> use $.40/6 from 2/8 GM or 3/22 SS inserts <strong>or</strong> (Line 3) <strong>Buy 8 and</strong> use $1/8 here <strong>Final price: As low as $0.25 each after doubled coupon</strong> We're not advocating that you use both coupons; we're just giving you an idea of which coupons are available and how the price would break down depending on which one you use.

Copied from above Translation: (Line 1) Yoplait Yogurt is on sale for $.50 each this week (its advertised as 6 for $3.00) (Line 2) To make this a better deal use the $.40 off of 6 yogurt cups’ coupon from the Sunday, Feb 8 General Mills insert or the Sunday, March 22 Smart Source insert. Your price after the value of the coupon is doubled by the store $.37 each. In this example the value of the coupon is doubled. The list will specify whether it is using the face value or a doubled value for the coupon. See section below for details on the SS, RP, GM, PG abbreviations in the lists (Line 3) To make this a better deal use the $1.00 off 8 yogurt cups coupon at the following website (click here). Your price after the value of the coupon is doubled by the store $.25 each. Note: in this example the value of the coupon is doubled. The list will specify whether it is using the face value or a doubled value for the coupon.
