S/O Extreme Coupons and Monopoly Game

I was never an extreme couponer, but I was a regular coupon users. My goal was to get save at least 50% with sales and coupons, which I was able to do regularly. Now, I just watch the sales and stock up when I can. Too many coupons expire within a month so it is hardly worth it to coupon anymore.

My store isn't doing any Monopoly game; maybe it is a regional thing?

I haven't been able to extreme coupon in my area ever. They don't do double/triple coupons here. I used to play the grocery game when the kids were still living at home and did save a lot of money that way that we were able to use for the extra expenses during their high school years. Every little bit helps ya know? Now I just use my Safeway app and apply the coupons on that to my account. If I see a good coupon elsewhere I will use it.

I do play the Monopoly game. I have for a couple years. I seem to get a lot of free donuts and bagels. Since we don't really eat either of those things, I always take those little coupons with me and RAK them to someone I see that is buying them. I do that with all the free coupons I get that I won't ever use. People are usually happy to get them. Last year I did see about 10 free movies doing the online part of the game. I won tons of fandango points. I also won a few free on line cooking classes which was pretty cool and a couple Shutterfly items.

Right now I have a free tub of cream cheese to pick up and a free Red box 1 day rental. Hard to beat anything that is free (other than your time to pull all the stupid game pieces apart and search for the match). When it's crappy cold/snowy outside it gives me something to do. I'm one piece away from the Million dollars and one piece away on quite a few other prizes. I won't hold my breath.

Can't comment on the couponing, but my 22 yr old DD loves to play the Monopoly game from Safeway. She whips that gameboard out when we come home and hopes for the best. We've won a couple of Shutterfly items, free tomato sauce, free yogurt, a couple of decent coupons, but I think it's the thrill of possibility that does it for her.

We used to do the Monopoly game, but stopped last year. We never won anything or got coupons that were useful.

I didn't ever extreme coupon - it was never that good where I have lived. I did coupon though. Now I use rebate apps.

I'm doing monopoly. Last year I got a bunch of free items - pasta, salad dressing etc. A couple of movie tickets too. Haven't got any this year yet. I love it when people don't want their pieces and give them to me.

Our stores don’t do double or triple coupons like some places do. The closest I come to ‘extreme couponing’ is to combine a manufacturer’s coupon, a Target coupon, a sale and a gift and promotion when you buy three giant mega packs of toilet paper.   With three bathrooms in our house, two more at the lake cabin and another indoor one plus an outhouse at the deer shack, we have a lot of bathrooms to keep stocked!
