I have a crate that is over half full of deodorant, toothpaste, soap, feminine items and other personal care items that I am trying to fill up before I go drop it off. I need more coupon inserts donated so if you have extra please let me know. I end up only paying tax on all my donation items but I need lots of coupons to make it possible. Contact me iff you have any that you can donate.
Thanks everyone,
Jenn

Walmart FREE Cascade
I have lots of coupons for $1 off any size Cascade dish washer soap. If you go to walmart the trial size is $0.97 and there are 3 in it. Walmart allows overages so you are making $0.03 for every pack you get. Here in CA we have to pay sales tax so my extra money goes towards that sales take.
On the coupon it states 4 like coupons per transaction so you can so multiple transactions if your cashier doesn't mind. I find that the best cashiers to go to are the teenage boys. Here is what my trip looked like.
4 trial size Cascade $0.97 each
Subtotal $3.88
After coupon subtotal -$0.12
Tax 7.25% $0.28
Out of pocket total $0.16
Not bad for 12 loads of dishes

My husband is back from the desert
Robert is finally back so now I a concentrate more on my couponing adventures. I am working on a beginner couponing class coming up in the next few weeks. I just need to know how many people would be interested in coming.
I also had to split up my stockpile. Under the stairs was not very organized anymore so now I only have food and drinks in there and my spare room has all the cleaning, hygiene, paper and other items in there. Now my stockpile looks so tiny and sad. That is ok - everything is now organized and I can look and see what I am running low on. Like the paper towels that I only had 1 left and went paper towel crazy today.

What prices do I stock up?
I have a general price list that I use to stock up. Remember some areas are more expensive than others so your prices might vary. No grocery store in my area double or triple coupons - call your local stores to see is they ever have double coupon days. Also know your stores coupon policy and keep one with you just in case your cashier doesn't know it. You can even carry extras to leave with your cashier. I try to use the same cashier if they are nice and don't mind all my coupons some of mine are asking me how I do this so they can start also.
Razors (MACH 3) $1
Cereal $1
Floss FREE
Toothpaste FREE
DO FREE
Toothbrushes FREE
Battery toothbrushes $2
Tuna $.59
Can Veggies $.59
Laundry soap $1
Fabric Softener $1
Shaving cream FREE
Kandoo Wipes $.50
Here in California we have to pay tax on the retail amount before your coupons. So far I have not had the luck to walk out without paying a thing.
There are some things that I am not willing to give up like my soft toilet paper and Cambells cream of mushroom so I try to save money in other areas to fit them in my budget.
I hope this helps you.
