Pictured above are the FREE Rubbermaid storage containers I got by combining a recent store sale at Publix with store coupons and manufacturer coupons, a process called "stacking."
Publix is one of many stores that allow you to "stack" store coupons with manufacturer coupons. Publix also has weekly sales, in addition to "green advantage" and "yellow advantage" sales with specials that last for about a month. There are circulars in the front of the store advertising these specials, and there are also coupons in each of the circulars (green/yellow).
These Rubbermaid storage containers were obtained using the following process: the Publix "green advantage" sale circular included a coupon for $1 off any one Rubbermaid food or beverage storage container. (Remember, this is a store coupon). Rubbermaid products were on sale that week for 40% off, and there was also a coupon a couple of weeks earlier in the Sunday paper for $1 off any Rubbermaid easy-find lids lock-its, produce saver or premier containers - a manufacturer coupon. Using the "stacking" method, I combined a store coupon with a manfacturer coupon for each set of storage containers, and that - along with the 40% off sale - meant they were FREE.
How was I able to get so many storage containers? By asking friends, family, and neighbors to save unused coupons for me, and by watching the sales and keeping a sharp eye out for store coupons. You can find free deals like this almost every week. It CAN be done - just do your homework, and keep checking back at this blog, where I will be posting "live" sales so that you, too, can take advantage of these great deals.
