Hi Carrie!
I live in Canada and caught your apperance on Kare 11. I’m so glad I did! I’m heading to the U.S. in a few weeks and whenever I am there I always go grocery shopping (sometimes the U.S. has better deals on things we have here in Canada, even with the exchange!) I’ve printed out some coupons and now I’m looking forward to my visit to Target even more!
hi,
caught you on the late night re-airing kare11. what does ss and rp insert mean?
RP and SS are abbreviations that mean Red Plum and SmartSource, who puiblish the coupon insert magazine-type things that are included within the Sunday paper. Does that help? –Carrie
Hi Carrie,
I caught your story on KARE 11 this morning. I too use coupons from the Sunday papers to save money whenever I can and I’m going to start taking it one step further and print the online coupons and see how much more I can save. I can relate to your story about being in debt and the process of getting out of it. Love the website so far. Thanks for the tips.
hi carrie,
yes that does help thanks. what does the sunday paper cost? which has more coupons, the star tribune or the pioneer press?
sorry if that is a stupid question. i get my news from teh intarwebz and i just never saw the need in subscribing to a paper before.
Hi, Carrie,
I really am glad I heard about you through the news last night on channel 11. I am an avid coupon clipper and have one question based on the story last night:
Can you really combine a store coupon and a vendor coupon for the same item? Don’t those coupons say right on them that they cannot be combined?
Thanks.
Peggy
