The Multiple Insert Advantage

25. July 2008 by Lisa.

By now you know I take, depending on how good the coupons are, 6-10 Sunday papers a week. People often ask if it’s worth the time. YES! Excuse the shout. I’ll be taking 10 this week because I went to Taylor Town Preview and looked at the coupons that will be in this week’s insert. I found…

1. There will be a 30c coupon for a 3 pack of Irish Spring bar soap. We don’t use these, but they’re great for our Operation Christmas Child boxes. Through next Tuesday they’re 10/$10 at Albertson’s. They’re also $1 each at Kroger. I’ll get 10 for $1 because the coupons will triple (if I make separate transactions).

2. There will be a 35c coupon for Softsoap Liquid Hand Soap 7.5 or 12 oz. Through next Tuesday Kroger has them for $1 each. When the coupon triples, it will create a 5c overage.

3. Bandaids will be on sale for $1/box at CVS. The 50c coupons don’t double at CVS, but it still makes for some cheap bandaids.

4. Kroger also has Speed Stick and Lady Speed Stick on sale for $1 each. The coupons are 75c for Speed Stick (making those 25c each) and 50c off 2 Lady Speed Stick which doubles (making those 50c each).

My Sunday papers more than pay for themselves immediately. That’s just what I see at first glance for those inserts this week. There will be more sales in weeks to come when I’ll be able to use more of the coupons from these same inserts to score lots of freebies and cheapies.

It’s worth the money to buy the extra papers. It doesn’t take more time to clip because I stack and clip them all at once.

I get my Sunday papers on Saturday at Walmart or Kroger. I love the day early advantage. I’ll get to the stores sooner to get what I want before it’s all gone.

I do have to say the only disadvantage for GroceryGamers is that by the time you are able to print the list, the great sale items are often already off the shelves. I still do the game though because it helps me find the more hidden deals. When I have 6-10 coupons, those hidden deals can really add up to big savings. Happy stockpiling!
