Awesome shopping!
Great savings! I would love to hear your thoughts on Costco. Do they take coupons other than their store coupons? What items are cheaper vs. grocery store with a coupon? I love Costco but since I've started clipping coupons recently I haven't been. I don't have a lot of time and going to several stores doesn't work for me.
Hi Charlene,
Where did you get the coupon for 20% off at Staples? Did I miss it? Thanks!!!
Just follow the link I provided and the 20% coupon is there. It is Office Depot, but Staples accepts OD coupons.
Cali I have a very short list for Costco. I occasionally buy 25lbs of flour just so I don't have to hassle with it running out, we get cheese there because the prices are so good, I stock up on buns every few months since I eat a lot of gardenburgers, tortillas etc… Otherwise it is so much more expensive- in my opinion. I have heard people say the lunch meats and stuff are cheap but they were $2.99/lb when I checked. They had Pumpkin Soup for $14.99- for 2 smallish jars, the produce is hit or miss- bananas are .44/lb but they are green and then go bad super fast. The grapes were $2.99/lb which is premium pricing. They had 20lb bags of potatoes for $6.99 and I just paid .97 for 10 lbs… I tried to find great deals to post and honestly couldn't. We love the pizza which is fairly cheap and you can find a few good deals but honestly loss leaders at premium stores are where I do 99% of my shopping. 2 bags of Kashi cereal were $7- ummm… how much Kashi have we gotten almost free in the past months?
