How it works

So if you want to get free stuff you pretty much have to combine ecoupons and paper coupons. I've found that hands down Dillons is the cheapest place to do this. They will let you use a ecoupon, store coupon AND paper coupon per item AND will double coupons EVERYDAY up to a dollar!
Ecoupons you can get from various sites (more on these sites later) and load them to your Dillons plus card. When they scan your card at check-out it automatically applies the coupons for you.
Paper coupons you can get from a variety of places; websites (I like http://www.coupons.com/ the best) Sunday news paper and then you can also sign up for them through different companies websites. Procter and Gamble is a great one to register with because not only do they mail and email you coupons they also tell you when they will have coupons in your local paper AND send you free samples. They represent brands like Tide, Glade, Dawn, Crest, Olay, Gillet, Pantene and like a millon others.
And then there are store coupons, these are probably the hardest to get. You can sometimes print them from Dillons website, but usually you have to get them in the mail or when they print out with your receipt (Target offers these too).
Here is an example of my shopping trip from last week...some items were not only FREE but I also got money off something else:
Loaded Ecoupon for $4 off Vicks Sinex, had Paper coupon for $4 off Vicks Sinex (Dillons had this on sale for $6) Had Paper coupon for Free Kleenex with Vicks perchase= FREE VICKS, FREE KLEENEX PLUS $2.00 the rest of my bill!
Another example:
Loaded ecoupon for $2 off olay face wash and $1 off olay body wash. Had paper coupon for $2 off olay face wash (dillons had the large size on sale for $5.99), had paper coupon for buy Olay face product get Olay body wash free= .99 for Olay face soap and body wash
I also used similar coupons for Dove, Gillet and Old Spice. Most of which ended up being free or under $1 for 2 items
This can work for Anything, not just beauty items. I also got Free bacon, Lunch meat, Super cheap garlic bread, super cheap pasta (think I paid .20 a box/bag) and sauce and Coke for almost half off (soda is a hard one to find good deals) These were all name brands too, not store brands.
The key is to use both an ecoupon and paper coupon to maximize your discount and shop the sales! Dillons has their weekly ad online so you can make your list ahead of time.
My goal is to post the super great deals on hear every week.
