What do you do?

I have a couple of questions for the SC community. First, how do you go about your shopping with coupons? I mean do you only take the coupons you know you are going to use and hope you don't run into some unadvertised specials or clearance? Or take all you have everytime you shop? Secondly, I have acouple of free Sunlight laundry coupons. If my local store has a B1G1 free sale on that item, can/could I use that coupon as my buy 1 and still get another free? Seeing as I've never met such a smart bunch of cookies before, I knew this would the right place to ask any questions!

I always take all mine with me, because in the past when I took only what I planned on buying I always ran into bargains....so I never let that happen again..lol

I always take my binder with me, for the most part It stays in the car if im alone and the 'needed' coupons are in my wallet. if im with hubby it goes with me that way the more i get the more he can help carry.

as far as I know the answer to your SL question is yes.

Yes you can use your Free product coupons in conjunction with a BOGO sale to get 2 free! Thats getting the most bang for your buck and I love when it works out that way! I always just bring the coupons I plan on using but then kick myself whenever i find clearance deals. i ordered a coupon 'bag' online a few days ago though so as soon as that arrives and all my coupons are in there, then i'll likely bring it with all the time b/c i hate lugging my binder around!

Where did you find the bag I am looking for something good and portable

P.s. I take everything everywhere and keep a envelop of the too use coupons and one empty one I transfer the ones I am using to the empty ones as I find the products so I am ready at the check out.

I am still pretty new but it is working so far

The only time I take my binder is if I'm shopping outside of my town since I'm in town several times a week and can generally pick up special the same or next day depending on whether I'm driving the children to school or not.
