Seriously, it's a new addiction.  Here's what I bought most recently:
20 $1 off 1 Brawny Paper Towel coupons for $.75
20 $1 off 1 6-pk Quilted Northern Toliet Paper for $1.35
40 .75 off 2 Campbells Microwaveable Soups for $2.25 (I eat this every day for lunch, so I'm excited!)
15 .50 off 1 Jello Snack Paks for 2.25 (we eat alot of sugar free pudding and jello!)

They are all "double-able", so my savings are even greater.

Brad D. May 2, 2008, 9:47am EDT
Good for you!

I also buy coupons on email. I usually just buy them for things like diapers, cat food or to stores like Children's place, Toysrus or Lowes Home Improvement. I have save tons of money this way.

Too funny! I can understand how it could become addicting! Glad you're finding so many great coupons you can use!
Rita j. May 2, 2008, 10:00am EDT
That sound like a great idea
Linda G. May 2, 2008, 10:03am EDT
interesting idea
Amy H. May 2, 2008, 10:04am EDT
Don't worry you are not the only one. I do the same thing. I used to get all the coupons I wanted from my Father in law. He worked at the news paper and got all the coupons he wanted. Now that I don't get those anymore. I get mine off ebay also.

That sounds like a good idea. I'm going to have to check it out!
Carol P. May 2, 2008, 10:47am EDT
I know! I just started yesterday after reading an article in one of my groups. Isn't it amazing how much is out there! There is not much I buy without a coupon.

You can get some good ones that way, but be careful. Sometimes there are counterfeit coupons on ebay.
Holli G. May 2, 2008, 10:55am EDT
LOL!! that is all i can say.....gotta love eBay! I know i do
Monica H. May 2, 2008, 11:10am EDT
I didn't even know people sold stuff like that. But, hey, if it helps you with the budget, then I say GO FOR IT!!
Monica H. May 2, 2008, 11:11am EDT
I am terrible with coupons. I will cut them out of a magazine or the newspaper ads, and then put them in my purse and I forget to use them before the expiration date. Maybe I need to get one of those coupon wallat things and just check it every time I go to the store. They do help with saving money!!
Monica H. May 2, 2008, 11:12am EDT
Have a great Friday TABITHA!! STEP AWAY FROM E-BAY!!!! ha ha ha ha

Good for you...
Lisa J May 2, 2008, 1:26pm EDT
Counterfeit coupons? WHAT?!?!?

Uh...

this is all just kinda scary.
Tina W. May 2, 2008, 1:35pm EDT
you got some great deals
Vana R. May 2, 2008, 7:14pm EDT
I never knew you could buy coupons...good job!
Ashmin C. May 2, 2008, 8:22pm EDT
I didn't know you could buy coupons. Thanks for the great info!
Jennifer N. May 2, 2008, 8:28pm EDT
I never knew you could do that either.

I don't do coupons as most times it's STILL more than what we buy which is off brands.
juley g. May 2, 2008, 8:29pm EDT
Great idea, Tabitha!
juley g. May 2, 2008, 8:33pm EDT
I watch for certain ones that are free or almost free with double or triple coupons at Kroger and then I buy them from someone on my yahoo coupon group. For instance there is a coupon frequently for $.35/1 Soft Soap hand soap and it goes on sale at Kroger for $1 so with the coupon tripled it is free. I will buy 10 of the coupons for say $.02 each and then I am stocked for hand soap! Same with French's mustard, dial hand soap, comet, and Pillsbury crescent rolls.
Curt L. May 2, 2008, 9:44pm EDT
Sending a 10 your way!
Shelbia C. May 2, 2008, 10:38pm EDT
Interesting concept. I never knew that was possible either. I am going to have to check into it next time I am on Ebay.
When I was really big into couponing, I was buying from the coupon clippers, GREAT site.
Alice N. May 2, 2008, 11:31pm EDT
Interesting. Thanks for sharing the info.

I have never bought coupons online, I am afraid of the counterfeit once. How do you differentiate?
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) May 3, 2008, 6:47pm EDT
I have never seen double coupons in my area. I wish I did. I remember seeing them all the time up north. I use to save alot that way.
Dana H. May 4, 2008, 2:09am EDT
I recently noticed coupons on ebay. It's good to hear from someone that has tried it.
LaRue B. May 4, 2008, 5:29pm EDT
be careful Tabitha and check the postage. You should always add postage & handling to whatever you buy. If you buy books for $.01 each, the postage could be almost the original cost of the book. Many people do not even consider p & h when making mail order purchases.
samantha b. May 10, 2008, 11:56am EDT
sounds like from your score on almost $50 of groceries for just over $8 that you should keep buying these coupons, lol!
Carl J. May 10, 2008, 12:27pm EDT
Great Job. Coupons are something wife and I are getting into right now. I Don't know if you have a Kroger grocery Store near you or not but they do electric coupons now. All you do is put in your Kroger card number (which is free to get) and click on the coupons you want, and at the checkout when they scan your card the discounts automatically come off. Pretty smart idea, just FYI.
Qpon Lady Jan 10, 2009, 8:59am EST
LOL Good deal Tabitha! I buy them too! Sometimes inserts, sometimes single coupons.
Naomi O. Jan 11, 2009, 4:38pm EST
That is very cool. I don't think I buy enough of any one thing to purchase coupons that I would use before the expiration date.
Paula C. Jan 11, 2009, 4:49pm EST
I have alot of money saving tips for buying groceries. I use coupons, check the sales, purchase in bulk when I can and also have started once again buying many things at our local freight sales stores. Who cares if the box is squashed on the cake mix if the bag inside is still sealed?
