I thought it might be nice to start a thread so we know what we should always use a coupon for to get the best deals, i.e. coupons that come out so often for these items that you can get them for free or almost free...Here is what I have come up with so far:
Toilet paper- Cottonelle, Royalle
Paper Towels- Scott
Mr Clean
Windex
Body Wash- Olay, Dove, Aveeno
Shampoo & Conditioner- Gillette, Herbal Essences, Pantene
Febreze
Swiffer
Glade
Please add to the list !!
Diapers/ Wipes- Huggies/Pampers
Laundry Soap
Facial Soap
Razors/ Blades
Bread
Soup
Meat
Cheese
Kitty Litter, Pet food
Thanks everyone!Last edited by mamasaidshop; Wed, Apr 29th, 2009 at 01:02 PM. Reason: Added to the list

Razors & razor blades
Better to remain silent & be thought a fool than to open your mouth & confirm it.

Bread
Soup
Cheese
Kitty Litter
Meat (chicken, beef, ham, etc)
All these items go on sale at least once a month, so if you have a freezer, you can easily buy an extra loaf of bread, or extra package of ground beef when on sale, so that way you don't run out and need to buy it full price.Try out the maven box by julep And code FREEFB, and get your box for one cent:

O.k. but seriously..... a few, not just items but rules I try to follow also.
- snacks for kids lunches
- juice boxes
- find a good butcher and buy bulk if you can
- find a european/middle eastern type fruit/veggie market/store they are dirt cheap because that's the way they do it - market style shopping is their way of life
- buy in season and local when possible - I pick right from the farms around Montreal and store what I can in the garage
- get a cold room if possilbe/ 2nd fridge/freezer(I know not everyone can do this)
- find sample sales for clothing
- get on mailing lists for those once or twice a year warehouse sales(I'm going to Reebok this weekend to buy shoes for the famliy for the year)
- speak to people in the stores, become friendly with floor people, cashiers, better to have them on your side than not (besides what does it cost to exchange a few pleasantries?)
- always ask for a discount (YES I do LOL, I have no shame) If an item is slightly damaged, the last one, or maybe a manufacturers flaw ASK, even at Zellers, Walmart, Home Depot, Winners) What's the worst they can say NO?
- drive around Industrial areas and check for ones that have a "Open to the Public" sign, these can be real finds. I have found bakeries, clothing places, furniture, appliances, just about everything. Just recently the place who sells Easter chocolates to Walmart and Zellers opened up for 2 weeks before easter. Got great deals on bulk, broken boxes, mishaped stuff, all good for eating, baking, fondues
- most important - check for end of season sales
Sorry I got off track from "items" but I think these things are important too.

Lol! I was thinking the same thing!!! The only things I buy full price all the time are milk and bananas as those I have NEVER seen on sale!!! Most other items I can find on sale at the very least......
diapers
cleaning supplies
laundry supplies
paper products
I always be sure to check clearance bins as well for items that I use....Last edited by GottaLoveFreeebies; Wed, Apr 29th, 2009 at 01:00 PM.
