I have refrained, thus far, from posting any of my crazy coupon deals on our family blog, but I just couldn't resist this one, and it should work for people pretty much anywhere.
About a year ago, I discovered a magazine called "All You." It is only sold at Walmart, and it is $1.77. I personally hate Walmart (I can't stand the crowds, the lack of cashiers, or how dirty it usually is, and I usually get much better deals at many other places, but that's just a personal thing), so I ended up getting a subscription, which was $10/year. Anyway, the magazine is mainly filled with coupons which is why I get it. The past few months have been pretty disappointing, but the newest issue has some really great coupons.
The ones I was most excited about are:
Crystal Light FREE WYB (when you buy) 3 kraft, nabisco, or oscar mayer products
KRAFT salad dressing (same wording as crystal light)
KRAFT singles (same wording as crystal light)
NABISCO wheat thins (same wording as crystal light)
Oscar Mayer hot dogs (same wording as crystal light)
Kool Aid is a "Kraft" product. If you buy 3 Kool Aid packets (which are .10-.20 around here), you can get the free item listed on the coupon. So, for $4.77 (the cost of the magazine plus the 15 packets of Kool Aid), you can get Crystal Light, Kraft Salad dressing, Kraft cheese slices, Nabisco wheat thins, and Oscar Mayer hot dogs. Also, check the free up to value amounts. I always get the largest sizes I can (for the wheat thins, it ends up being the family size box).
Also, if you happen to shop at Kroger and pay attention to the monthly totals that go toward your .10 off fuel discount, they look at your total BEFORE coupons.
I guess this is only a "deal" of course, if your family thrives on processed and packaged foods which I guess I should be embarrassed to say that mine does?
.....and if you're not into all of this processed stuff, but would still like to find some grocery and coupon deals, here are a few of my favorite sites:

Thanks so much for the info. I love hearing about deals, even though we don't have a walmart around here (gasp!) and even if we did, I don't like it either for the very reasons you listed.
Anyway, here is the thing...when you listed all those deals, all i could think about was that I would have to spend a bunch of money to save money and that it wouldn't really end up saving me much money becuase we don't often buy the items listed.
But I NEVER would have thought to buy Kool Aid. That's the thing I'm talking about. These are tips I can use! Even though we don't have a Walmart.
