My trip last night to Kroger yielded some nice cheap items. I walked away with 2 jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter for $0.00; 2 Oral B Toothbrushes for $1/each; and some Right Guard deodorant for $0.66. Not bad! Unfortunately I did not have time to search the aisles for more good deals, but this was a nice little haul. I only paid $2.66+tax for all of it.
The Peter Pan is 10/$10 (you don’t have to buy 10) and I had 2- $1 off 1 coupons
The Oral B is 2/$4 and I had 2- $1 off 1 coupons
The Right Guard is 3/$5 and I had 1 $1 off 1 coupon
Now if you haven’t started collecting coupons, these are still really good sales. If you want to get in on the coupon action, I would suggest going to the Charlottesville Recycling Center and hit the recycled paper truck. If the truck has not been recently emptied or pushed back, you should be able to reach sets of coupons. No sense in going through them there, just grab what you can and go through them later. You can also ask those tossing their papers if they have coupons. This will give you a nice start on your coupon collection.
If the idea of "dumpster diving," is too much for you to deal with, don't worry there will be more deals. You can wait until this weekend and start collecting Sunday papers. I get the Washington Post and the Daily Progress. This gives me 2 sets of most coupons. I also asked my neighbors and relatives that don’t use coupons, much to my dismay, if I can use theirs. At times I can have up to 4 copies of the same coupons. This allows me to have a large stock pile of items.

If you think you don’t need to clip coupons, you’re basically missing an opportunity to be altruistic. Last year I was able to get 10 jars of free peanut butter. I kept some, donated some to the food bank and donated more to friends in need. I also bought 12 bottles of Sunny D fruit drink. These were not free, but I only paid $.25 each. This was part of a deal Sunny D had going on and I received free movie tickets! I was only interested in the movie tickets, since I don’t drink Sunny D, so the drinks went straight to the food bank. I was able to give without hurting my budget and receive FREE MOVIE TICKETS! Altruism has never been so sweet.
Feed yourself or feed the needy, either way coupons are money in your pocket. If I were to hand you a $1 bill, would you throw it away? Well, that is exactly what you’re doing if you don’t use coupons, especially on things you already buy or services you already use!
Feel free to post questions or comments! I’ll post more deals as I find them!
ENJOY!
