    Default I hit the coupon motherload!

    DH's parents live in another part of the Greater Seattle area and we have to take the ferry to visit them.

    Yesterday morning we went over and walking around I noticed a lot of people reading the Sunday paper. Right before we docked I ransacked all of the recycling containers. I did the same thing on the ferry ride home.

    I ended up with 7 full sets of coupons and two extra smart source inserts!!!

    Yippee for me!!!!!!

    Way to think on your feet, I'm jealous. I didn't buy a paper yesterday so I am couponless, lol. Our local stores don't double, and I just don't use a large amount of coupons. That's one negative to living in podunk.

    I'm drooling. Did you get that great Electrasol coupon I'm hearing about? Makes me wish I got the paper.

    Pay dirt! I did see a coupon section blowing around the parking lot at the convenience store but suddenly became too embarrassed to pick it up! Anyway, congratulations on the great find!

    There it no shame in chasing a coupon insert all over creation!

    The better not be, cause I have been known to go headfirst into our towns recycling bin looking for them!!

    I know & Walgreen's has a great deal this week ~

    Most of their Kellog's stuff is 5/$10 and you get RR for $5 = 5/$5. I have enough coupons that would make it $3 ~ then there is a $10 Kellog rebate.

    I'm going to have one rebate check sent here, one to my Best Friend's house and one to my InLaws. I'd do more, but I've run out of addresses!

    Good deal. On the other hand, I got no coupons. The library director agreed since I work Sundays, I could have the coupons from the library's two papers. But lately, the Sunday delivery has been pretty erratic. Sigh. No papers yesterday.
