| Money saving tips & tricks Dr Phil today 3/2 NE1 Watching it?  | | | |  Ok I've watched say 30 min of it as my 6yo thinks she own's the tv but that's a whole other kettle of fish.
They are talking about buying outfits @ a "thrift" store between $12-$45! I can find an outfit for myself for under $5 easily, provided they had my sizes. It cracks me up on the prices from what they've entitled a "thrift shop". I bought an adorable NIKE longsleeve hooded tennis dress for my 6yo to grow into for $2!!! IT was easly $50 retail or more. But it was $2 for NIKE, NIKE pants for my toddler son .45!
Then they just moved onto the coupon portion.....
It looks great that this lady does awsome with her couponing gig. But ya know in my reality..... I don't EVER find $1 off $1.28 orig price for canned tomatoes hence paying .28 for it. We got $1 off things like $7 hair dye, not something pidily.
And no store here doubles beyond 5 coupons, + you have to spend $25, & it's only on WED... no savings to me usually. As all I'd want to buy would be the items for the coupons wich then would not meet the $25 min purch. <--- I think they need to mention that prices, coupons available, and doubling VARY GREATLY by the market. I do way better @ Aldi's & looking for markdowns on discontinued or nearly exp'd items.

| |  I forgot it was on today. I've seen commercials earlier. Tahnks for reminding me. I just turned it on. The coupons lady is suppose to be on next. What a nice plug for Walmart. This family that's on the show have to wake up. Heck I would love to be brand loyal, but I'm into saivng so that is out the window. I have to buy what's on sale and what I have a coupon for no matter what brand it is. I can see why they had to claim bankruptcy and on their way to do it again. This lady thinks shess better than the normal person. There's no way she's going to chip coupons and shop at Walmart, even though Ashley showed her it can be done. You just can't feel sorry for people that don't even try.

| | I so know what you are talking abut! $30 for an outfit is NOT A GREAT DEAL!! That is not a bargain, people! I haunt discount racks and check out Goodwill and St Vincent's sometimes. Last year I needed a formal gown for a black tie banquet and I found a beautiful one that fit me (I was 5 m pregnant and sure didn't want to be stuck with a pricey maternity ball gown!! AAck!) for a grand total of $3.15 including tax!!!!! I needed to sew back on 4 sequins that were loose, but that was it...... pretty slick, eh? Oh yeah, I can clothe a family of 9 for under $100 for the year and I've done it for LESS, too! | | | | | | |

I just heard three women on a talk show say they would think the guy was cheap if he had a coupon...
