It likely is in stock at times, but I know in my local WM when they put out Nexxus, they are gone within an hour every time

it seems odd to me that every time i go when there is a good deal like yesterday they started the airwick oil discount but non of the ones on sale were on the shelf, this happens all the time. Not to mention that there is never any coupons out. I mostly use coupons at walmart as its closest to my house and when in school i dont have as much time to price match look at flyers and go to more than one store for deals. My rcss almost never has any good pink sticker stuff let along any good deals so i dont go all that much. I have also had issues at the shoppers by my house cuz they are always so reluctent to reduce a coupon value by a penny when ther item is a penny less then the coupon. Although i did scop some energy drinks there one time so that was cool. Co-OP also is hard to coupon with asa again never any good deals, I usualy go to collect new coupons out and one time I got scop on a cactus and walk out paying 1.50 for stuff that should of cost 10 bucks so that was also nice... I do get good deals hear and there but still most of the time i dont because its like karma fources are working agents me. Of course there is also the times where im saving a coup for something to go on sale or clearence as without that its not worth using the coupon on it when i can get a no name for cheeper without coup. And then after the coupon expires then the item goes on sale. Its like stores are trying there hardest to not give away good deals with coupons and that they watch all coupons and expiery dates on purpouse. and if there is a good deal with coupon and sale they pull stuff off the self. sighhhh

I have so many Stayfree that I"m not even bothering to try to get them this week, when they are free again. I only need about 1/2 pack per month. Makes me feel better all those years I paid full price! Got free deodorant this week.
LF: Chapman's ice cream and Dare coupons. DS has a peanut allergy so it's the ONLY ones we buy. Lots FT.

It's still worth it for me. Like you said, prices DO go up..and they will not go down with inflation!!! I agree that sometimes it seems like there are no "good" coupons out there...not to even mention the FPCs. However, even on days where it may not seem like much, the coupons DO add up, and you still end up saving money! It's all about waiting for the right sale to come...and then applying the coupon on it (I can't stack in QC). For me, it's like an adrenaline rush knowing how much money I saved. As for the people who assume/judge us...who cares? In the end, we're saving money and they're just getting more wrinkles on their face from frowning.

Just a small coincidence that my WM ( Milner & 401) had not one single block of Black Diamond cheese on Saturday mid morning.
I asked a CS stock person in dairy, they claimed they had none. Really? None? I mentioned that I wanted to PM from the FreshCo flyer ( was on for $4.33 ? I think ) and I wanted to know if they were hiding their stock of cheese blocks to counteract that, he seemed offended and said no they have NONE!
Oh well had to drive to FreshCo, DH and DS needed their cheese.

Most times when I use coupons I'm oblivious to the challenges that come with it. I really enjoy the savings and 90% of what I 'buy' ends up being free. Occasionally it all seems like its just not worth it, no stock, cranky staff, people lining up behind me. Then I find a deal that I really like and it seems to recharge me. I think from time to time you have to tell yourself its ok to quit.. it takes the pressure off... Then just browse the brags , something will spark your interest and ta da there comes your couponing mojo.. :o)
Be sure to click like and post a brag if you get the deal.. It makes my day!!! Flattery may just get you more deals
Be sure to double check your flyer, points and cashback offers~ YMMV

Now you have me curious. I have the impression that I don't use that many coupons at the grocery store, so maybe I'll keep track next month.

I was really frustrated when I won a chocolate bar from the Safeway scratch & win. The cashier took forever to find out how to use a coupon that was part of the company. Still I find couponing relevant, because even the small dollar amounts do add up to at least $40/month, which is pretty good.
