Feeding Four had this to say: When I was in Giant today I saw these Jennie O So Easy Turkey Parmesan meals on markdown for $2. Then I saw the $0.55 peelies on them. $3.80 for three of them. That’s if only one coupon doubled. I threw them in the cart; grabbed the crackers and headed to checkout. All three coupons doubled! Woo-hoo! $2.70 for all three!

Blog: Mommies With Cents
Mommies With Cents had this to say: My printer ran out of ink the beginning of last week so I wasn’t able to do the deals I wanted to because I wasn’t able to print the coupons. I ordered some more so I’ll be ready next week. I’m also feeling a little intimidated by the other participants couponing skills! (excuses, excuses- I know.) I had these soup coupons on hand and had to make a trip to Target for diapers so this was all I squeezed in this week.

The Budget Mommy had this to say: I am adding my first two contributions! I am sorry in advance for the terrible quality of the pictures. In a former (read pre-kid) life, I was a photographer. I just haven’t found the money to upgrade to a digital SLR, so for now you’ll have to suffer with these pics!

Blog: Madame Deals
Madame Deals had this to say: Not only are the couponers helping their local communities, they are also learning more about them: I had the pleasure of meeting with one of our loyal followers, Mary, for coffee last week. Mary informed of the extreme poverty in certain areas of Fluvanna county. I had never been to the towns she spoke of. I really had no idea of the poor conditions that some people live in right in our backyards.
