Become a Fan of PantryOverflow on Facebook! I post on Facebook  when there are really ‘hot’ coupons to print from Facebook and other sites that I may not always post on here on the blog since they run out so quickly! Plus, updates on coupon classes, great deals etc. !

Have you seen the TLC Extreme Coupon Show? Have you heard people talking about the fact that you can get $500 worth of groceries for $2?? Well, these ‘extreme’ couponers spent DAYS planning those shopping trips, ordering (and buying coupons online),  then taking HOURS in the grocery store-one person spent 5 hours checking out, doing 18 transactions!!! I don’t know about you, but I do NOT have that kind of time!! I did take the time to learn what way of couponing works best for me. Taking the time that I do have, finding the right coupon method, and how coupon shopping works for me,etc. Now I can get HUNDREDS and sometimes THOUSANDS of dollars of products every month and still spend 60-70% less than I did before I started couponing and stockpiling. That is with 7 kids, homeschooling, being active in my church, writing this blog, having a clean home,  and living a somewhat ‘normal’ life. I know women(and men!) who work outside the home, and that are stay-at-home moms, and there is a way that ths can work for them too!


By coming to the class, you can learn how to start saving on your household and grocery budget right away!
The Basic Class is FREE, and it is 45 minutes long, with a teaching session and one-on-one quesiton and answers to help you get started!

If you are already a couponer, come help us out! Bring your binders, coupons, scissors, and your latest finds to inspire others and share your stories and experiences because that is what helps others learn-plus it is FUN!

The next class will be held April 14, 2011
Family Community Church
6331 Watt Ave
North HIghlands, CA
95660
6:00-6:45pm
Enter through the back doors, as there is another class in session in the usual place.

Whenever I see cereal coupons for more than $.50, I print as many as I can. They may not be on sale right now, but usually before they expire, there will be a $1.99, or $1.49 sale and I can get cereal for $1 or less a box. The reason you print them when you see them is because when they go on sale, the coupon may not be there. By doing this with my cereal coupons, I have never ran out of cereal or had my stockpile of cereal go below 10 boxes or so.  There were times when I have had WAY more than 10 boxes in the pantry. I even bought 30 boxes of the same kind of cereal before, but I found that my kids got tired of the cereal before they were gone. I am glad I have people that I can share with!!  So, go over to Coupons.com and print out the Cheerios coupon and the Kix coupon, and believe for a good sale!!
