    Every week I get one or more items free after sales and coupons.

    Here are just a few recent ones:

    Lender's Bagels: B1G1 @ $2.00 - used a $0.50 coupon (that doubles to $1.00) for each package of bagels = 10 free packages of bagels.

    A-1 steak sauce: B1G1 @ $4.00 - used a $2.00 coupon for each bottle = 8 free bottles of A-1.

    Kraft BBQ sauce: B1G1 @ $1.79 - used a $0.50 coupon (that doubled to a $1.00) for each bottle = 6 free bottles of BBQ sauce plus overage.

    Lawery's 16 oz Seasoning Salt: B1G1 @ $1.99 - used $0.50 coupon (that doubled to a $1.00) for each = 6 free seasoning salts.

    McCormick Grinders: B1G1 @ $1.99 - used $0.50 coupon (that doubled to a $1.00) for each = 6 free grinders.

    French's Mustard: B1G1 @ $1.49 - used $0.50 coupon (that doubled to a $1.00) for each = 6 free plus overage.

    Not free, but really good deals:

    *Glass plus for $0.25 per bottle after sale & coupon
    *Lysol trigger spray cleaner for $0.75 per bottle after sale & coupon
    *Tea bags for $0.10 per box of 100 after sale & coupon.

    Kraft shredded cheese 8 oz: $1.50 package - used 15 $0.50 coupons (that doubled to a $1.00) for each = $0.50 per package (7.5 lbs of cheese for $7.50).

    Wow ladies- you are awesome! I am still learning and one of my mistakes has been not keeping a coupon because I thought I wouldn't use it. A little while later there is the product on sale and I could have had it for free.

    I am saving all coupons for now in a binder w/baseball card holders. My mom and MIL are saving coupons for me too.

    I never shopped at Walmart until I discovered Price Matching. I tried it the other day and was so pleased. It kept me from going to more than one store that day.

    Any tips? Did you get all of those at one store or did you have to go to several? Did you collect and save all the coupons over a period of time or did you get a bunch at once?

    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the examples. It looks like on the B1G1 you use 2 coupons, one for ea. item? Is that right?

    Wow NewLeaf, you are doing an awesome job. I love reading how everyone saves with coupons. They are money. As for my best deal ever it would have to be last year when I bought a Glucose meter on sale for $29.99 and had a coupon for $30 off. Then inside the box was a $30 rebate. I made $30 off of that deal!!!

    Some fond memories of coupon deals:
    - Free Product Coupons: Kashi cereal, Kashi granola bars, Dove Go-Fresh body wash, Herbal Essences product, Yogurt, Campbells Healthy Request soup, Pledge try-me-free furniture polish, Glade candle tins, manufacturers try-me-free rebate deals: Febreze

    -Buy 1-3, get one FREE: hamburger, WUB 3 El Paso products, Herbal Essences, so many others

    -High Value coupons: Kelloggs $2 cardboard-box coupons; my grocery store often has Kelloggs cereal on sale for 2 boxes for $4, so I use two $2 coupons, and get the 2 boxes of cereal free. I've got about 20 boxes of free cereal this way.

    -Herbal Essences: Buy1Get1Free (stockpiled this way, when it was on sale)
    -Great deals on Royale TP with $1 coupons, good on any sized product; wait for the smaller packs to go on sale, then use the $1 coupons and save a bundle when you do the math.
    -Dawn dishwashing liquid, great deals on this a while ago when product was being promoted at low price, with coupon
    -Kraft dressings, with $1 coupon: waited till it was on sale for .99 per bottle, then bought it with $1 coupons, got 1 cent back.

    -many other coupon deals too numerous to mention...just a sense of abundance and humble gratitude to the manufacturers.

    And right now:
    Rexall Multivitamins/Multiminerals (100's): Buy1, Get1Free (have 4 boxes so far, and 2 of them were free; plus got my vitamin card stamped 4 more times, and when it's full (10 stamps) I get a bottle of vitamins FREE)

    My best deal to date involved a coupon for Buy-1-Get-1-Free on Herbal Essences hair products. Well, I happened to find it one day as a buy-shampoo-get-conditioner-free duo pack. Hehehe! Well, I got the four bottles of products for the cost of one. :thumbsup:

    The best coupon deal we have ever made was one my son did (7 years old at the time) He found a coupon for cents off a candy bar in the news paper.Since he was buying the candy bar that one candy bar was the only thing in the transaction. They scanned his candy then scanned his coupon.

    He walked out with candy and 5 more cents then he came in with.

    My best coupon deals at JC penney's $10 off $10 or more coupons. I generally can find something we need and many times it is near or at $10. One time it was a Carter's sleeper for my daughter (free). One time it was 6 pairs of my favorite socks for 5 cents.

    Once we bought shoes for Daughter for free. We had a $15 off $15 or more at Famous Footwear. The coupon arrived in the mail at the perfect time as daughter need a new pair of shoes. (she was four at the time) she walked right up to a pair of clearance tennis shoes and fell in love. Price of shoes? $15 (orignally $50 I believe) They scanned the shoes and then scanned coupon and handed me the receipt and said Thank you have a nice day!(shoes for free)

    You have to pay tax on a free item?

    We do. Whether it is a store coupon or a manufacture's coupon, we pay 10% sales tax.
