couponing on vacay in florida brag

[saveaholicmama]

I have a question about this. Do you have to declare it at customs??

well I had all my receipts with me ready to give to the guard/officer but she didn't ask for them (and it was a NICE woman) all the women are usually awful! but I think another thing that had to do with is, is that they cant tax me because I was down for 2 weeks which is a limit of 800$ of goods per person to bring back. so I was in the clear!

VERY NICE BRAG! Did you "plan before your went" by using any coupon sites? Did you use printable or tearpad or Sunday Paper coupon inserts? You did one wonderful job! Congratulations!

honestly I didn't fine one tearpad when I was down there! BUT I did look at the coupon sites 2 days before we left (mainly at walmart) to print some coupons and mainly the deals that were on regular priced stuff ex: the cereal and rice milk. but other than those 2 things, the rest were from in the sunday inserts in the newspaper bins. but I did use the coupon sites when I was down there to score all my big deals. my favourite website for the usa is krazycouponlady.com

You should check out DealSeekingMom.com as well - I haven't checked it out for a while, but that was actually how I got started couponing - I followed that site for a while until I found this one.
