I forgot to mention this in my earlier post: My mom plays the "grocery game".
It's basically a service online - they tell you where to get what coupons and what stores in your area you can go to for redeeming. My mom has come out of CVS with BAGS and BAGS of stuff - deodorants, shampoos, body wash, RAZORS, air fresheners - just tons of stuff, and only paid like $0.30. (yes, that's 30-CENTS)
I believe it's a paid service, but it's saved her a ton of money. She always said she wishes they had that when we were growing up, because I have 3 siblings so our family would go through stuff so quickly. She takes advantage of those and stockpiles everything and when we visit home we 'raid' the stockpile and bring stuff home
