  1. WOW that is some great deals!! Great Job!

  2. I’m curious… Where do get your sample size Tide? I haven’t used coupons where the coupon is worth more than the value of the item. I guess I’ve been chicken, lol.

  3. Either Target or Walmart. I have less hassle at Target because their computers usually recognize the Q (the any size tide ones) and just reduce it to .97. At Walmart it depends on the cashier and how much hassle they give but it is a legal coupon so they really have no grounds to contest it. They don’t reduce Qs at Walmart, so you get overage there. I actually used a $1.50/1 this time around and the cashier pushed it through with no problems. She commented that she needed to start doing the same. The guy behind me was really interested in my totals too. Wish I had given him my card….

  4. You did fantastic!!!! Once again…

    I always have trouble with the tide coupon at Target.
