So here's the deal:
I bought 8 cans of Progresso soup ($1.25) be careful some of the cans are more expensive
I used (4) $.50/2 coupons from here or the 8/8 GM insert
AND I used (4) Meijer coupons from here
Pay $3 and get a $3 catalina back
The best part about this is that the catalina rolls, so I did the same transaction as the above but rather than pay $3 in cash, I used the $3 catalina and another $3 catalina printed!
I also just found this out...on the manufacturer's coupon there are 2 barcodes, so for the first 2 coupons that you scan cover one of the bar codes and then for the second 2 coupons that you scan cover the other bar code and guess what all 4 will double! So even though I paid $8 for the coupons on Ebay, I ended up making $1 on each transaction as I paid $2 and received a $3 catalina back!

Do you do this all in 1 trip? Does the cashier get annoyed? :) I'm really working on doing things like this, but I'm afraid with something like this, they will get upset!
No, I didn't do this all in one trip...I do split it up as I don't want to upset any other customers that may be behind me in line, but most of the time the cashiers are fine with it! I do quite a bit of apologizing and there are so many times where they say "no, it keeps me busy", or "no I love to coupon also!"
I typically try to do no more than 4 transactions at one time, however I know many others that have done 8 or even 10...it all depends on how crowded it is!
