Exactly as said above, if you are using coupons for things just because they are cheap that is not a good reason! I rarely ever buy snacks. I can say that I have not bought one of the little debbie things in over a year, potato chips are only bought if we have bday party or something like that. I did buy popcorn the other day at kroger. They had the boxes 2 for $3. I had a coupon for .40 off. Doubled to .80 off paid .70 per box for Orville Redinbacher. Not bad. Now one thing I do buy are hot pockets if they are cheap as I have a husband who loves to eat at the weirdest hours and I am not cooking at 11 at night! Kroger had them this past week 3 for $5. I have .50 off 1. Double to a $1 so I got them 3 for $2. There are two in a box. .66 per box. Very cheap! I also got some of the lean pockets for me to take for lunch. Kroger also has a deal this week if you buy 9 items on their game list you get $6 off your order. Good deal in itself if you need the items. I personally got a bunch of cheese. I had $1/2 for the kraft cheese. So, I saved a total of $10 of the 9 items. and cheese freezes well so it is not like we have to eat it today. The key is having the right coupons at the right time. Oh, and the cheese was on sale 2/$4.
