[...] A little bit of this detergent goes a LONG way! I haven’t crunched the numbers myself, but Savvy Chic estimates that this homemade detergent only costs around 3¢ per load. That’s a bargain, [...]

We just went here last night and it was amazing. Sat next to a couple from Italy who said, “this country is more beautiful than Italy!” WOW! It was great. If you are in the Traverse City area this an event to catch. The view is breathtaking, the music is creatively fantastic, and the wine is excellent.

Comment on Can You “Extreme Coupon” in West Michigan? {Double Coupons} by Jolon

The Meijer mPerks coupons can be combined with a manufacturer coupon, but not a Mealbox coupon. The mPerks coupon values do differ from manufacturer coupons, so I wouldn’t necessarily call it “doubling” but it definitely helps! :)

I wrote a post about Meijer mPerks coupons here if you need more info:

Thanks for your input, Kelly. :)

Meijer stores have their mperks which can be combined with a coupon, which doubles the coupon. Unfortunetely, there are not many.

Justin, that means the coupons reached their print limit and were removed. Some of them go very quickly.

I’m new to couponing so was wondering where is the best place to start and to find coupons? Thank you.

Comment on TLC’s Extreme Couponing Series: The West Michigan Translation by Scott

I have been watching this Extreme Couponing thing on TLC. It’s retarded. I mean ok using some coupons to reduce your shopping trip is all well and good, but buying 200 hand soaps, or 400 toothpastes, or 500 toothbrushes, this one dude has like 1000 deoderants i mean really you got that big of a BO problem??

Anyway, not possible where i live. The stores here will NOT double coupons, they won’t take more than one coupon per product per transaction, and they will not let you break it up into 100 transactions to get around the coupon rules. If you can save $20 per trip thats about the best you can hope for. I would love to see these people try this here, they would be packing their coupons up and going home empty handed.

I watch the show and its like, she has 77 coupons for mustard? Ok, my local store would be like sorry you can apply one coupon to that product.

And then these ones that hoard, i mean its another form of hording. This one lady took over her whole house with stuff that they will have to live 100 years to even use. Its just another unhealthy addiction. Did you see the one with the poor kid who’s room is taken over? 1000 rolls of toilet paper under the bed, soap and stuff in his closet? Yeah i bet he cant wait to move out, guess he can take some toilet paper along when he does though as they have a lifetime supply… LOL

clicking on the links for the cereal at family fare did bring me to any coupons for the cereal. Am I missing something or was I too late?

I LOVE The Clothesline. They have such a nice selection at very reasonable prices. The owner says you can snag a coupon to The Clothesline from on the back of a receipt to the Family Fare next door. I’ve also seen their coupons in the Best Checks mailer.

The folks on facebook said there’s a place called “George’s” for men just down the street from “Georgie’s Consignments” in Ada. Have you been there yet?
