  3. I have unique problem for you, I live in delaware and my only local grocery store is acme and pathmark and acme dont come with doubles, pathmark come with limit if I want to double coupon its only up to .99 cent. and pathmark limits 4 item for coupon per customer per week. and acme is even stricter, doubler from newspaper is not accepted lol so how can I be successfully frugal?

    ReplyDelete
  4. That sucks! You can be successfully frugal by buying things on clearance with coupons, or buying things on sale with coupons. Never buy something that is not on sale or clearance.

    I have a question about Pathmark.. how do they track how many doublers the customers already had that week? Albertsons has "3 transactions of 3 doublers per customer" but they allow you to leave the store to put your stuff in the car then come back in the store and therefore you are a new customer again. (My manager at the store lets me stay and do it all at once- it all depends on your manager)

    Do you have another stores like, RiteAid, CVS, Walgreens? There are good deals to be had there too.. Hyvee?

  5. pathmark doubler is only available online and you have to have membership card to get account for online coupon and they track you that way :( we do have riteaid and walgreens its bit farther than both grocery store. also they rarely have coupon for things thats on sale at the same time.

  6. RiteAid is a HOT HOT HOT place to shop.. SERIOUSLY! Esther gets EVERYTHING for free from Riteaid!! :) Walgreens has good weeks often too! :o) I am SO jealous you have both Riteaid and Walgreens nearby! Here in Montana I only have CVS, Safeway, Smiths, Albertsons, and Target.. and it is a 40 mile drive for me to go to town. (I live out in the country) :o)

  7. Amy- Also you can get a 2nd Pathmark card.. why not? Just use a different phone number or whatever.

  8. Amy,

    U should start researching rite aid's deal and see what u could come up with. this week there is not much good deal going on last week was an awesome deals. i was able to get 1 sunggles and 15 stax i will picture it today for only 1 dollar after using the coupons and up rewards. its an awesome deals.. i will post here if theres any other good deals coming up so u will be aware :-)
