The best way to take advantage of the sales/coupons is by joining the grocery game website. I shopped like this all last fall and loved it. I haven't been able to since we've moved b/c we are too busy to mess with it. Plus, I had to leave my huge fridge behind at the old house - so I just have a regular size fridge now and no way to store all the food I could buy. But I did end up with some amazing deals like Bethany by using the grocery game website and having tons of multiple coupons. (Which I got by dumpster diving - the best way IMO if you can get past the pride issue of someone seeing you digging through trash!) Oh and btw - about dumpster diving - be careful if you let your kids do it. I stumbled across a whole stack of porn magazines someone had thrown into the recycling containers that were in the elementary school parking lot. There are so many things wrong about that scenario on so many different levels!! I was just glad my boys were not with me that day!! (Or my girls, for that matter!)

Candace — you will have to ask the store what their coupon policy is…it is usually hanging on a sign as you walk in or up at the service desk or taped onto the check out counter.

There are some other San Antonio blog readers here…maybe they can answer your questions about if stores do double coupons in your area.

Several of our stores always have double coupons…ever once in a while they will have a special sale event and run a triple coupon special for a weekend only.

Great find on the butter though!!!

I really loved your story about going to the store and everyone asking if your children, are all yours! LOL I do have one question though that I am stumped on... What kinda of vehicle do you drive that you can fit all your children in with car seats ? My husband and I have 2 children that are still in car seats and we cannot fit another person in our Subaru Outback with the car seats in the car. If we are blessed with another baby, we are going to have to get a new car. Thanks!

I live in San Antonio and other than usual Walmart, SuperTarget and Cosco, we have HEB's. None of them (that I'm aware of) do double coupons. Is this something advertised, or do you have to mention it at the register? I always use coupons and shop the specials to stock the pantry and freezer, but RARELY find deals this good. The best deal I found recently was at HEB. They were selling their brand of butter for .69 a box (4 sticks), normally priced at $2.00 a box. I thought I hit the jackpot! Boy, what damage I could have done if there had been a coupon for those as well. I stocked up big-time on butter! Any tips for any of the stores listed above? Thanks! Hi Bethany,

Thanks for all of the info and helpful hints. I do have some questions...they may require a lengthy answer (please feel free to email me seperately if you wish). I am interested in your chickens. How did you go about learning to process them? Where did you purchase them from? How much land do you have? Do they only eat grain or do they get to roam around and eat grass and bugs and things? I would really love to do what you're doing with the chickens and would love info on it!! Thanks And by the way, I went and bought the cheese and crackers at the store with coupons and all!! Thanks for the great tip. Bethany-

I did have different coupons for the cheese blocks I bought…. they were ??something?? off 2 though. Not as good as the .40 cent doubled ones!

I saw the blinkie coupons that said $1 off 3 packs — they were located right next to the cheese in the store.

What coupons did you use for the cheese? The only ones I could find were $1 off on 3 packs. Very impressive!
