[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, so many judgmental comments!  Granted, OP disappeared and hasn't really answered some questions, but someone mentions coupons and you assume she's eating boxed food?

I am a SAHM and have recently started looking in to couponing.  The whole thing with stacking and double coupon weeks still eludes me, but I'm happy to buy 3 large packages of Bounty paper towels if it means Target is going to give me a $10 gift card back.   I'm not contributing to the family wealth, but each little bit means that I can still have the cleaning service come monthly and take care of crap I don't want to do.

For those of you who do coupon, do you have any favorite sites where you get coupons or the best sites to search matchups?  Do you use just the newspaper insert or are you printing at home?  [/quote]

Stacking is the ability to use a store coupon AND a manufacturer coupon for the same item.  The idea is to hold your coupons until the item is ALSO on sale at the store.  For example, crest toothpaste.  Let's say it's normally $4.  The store puts it on sale one week for $3.50.  You have a store coupon for $.50.  In addition you have a manufactures coupon for $.55.  The store doubles manufacturer coupons up to $.99 so your $.55 coupon is really worth $1.10.  The store put the item on sale and you know have $1.60 in coupons.  The $4 toothpaste now cost you $1.90.  You saved $2.10 by stacking coupons and paying attention to store sales.[/quote]
