Merry Christmas! As another year of Super-Couponing draws to a close, I thought you might enjoy reliving some of the best sales, stock-ups, and photos from 2009…
In February, Jewel (which really is our favorite store, isn’t it?) had an amazing Catalina deal on Healthy Choice soups. Reader CouponKingKevin bought 280 cans (for nothing but tax) and donated them to his local food pantry.
In July, Jewel put Frosted Flakes on sale for .99… during a week in which many people had them on their electronic coupons for either $1 off, or $1.25 off. And the shoppers went wild…
Longtime blog reader Prea purchased 429 (free) boxes of Frosted Flakes that week and donated them to the food pantry!
In September, a group of blog readers planned the first-ever Super-Couponing picnic… and reader PaintedLady made these amazing CATALINA CAKES!
Then, this fall… the paper towels! This crazy sale completely wiped out every Jewel in Chicagoland as people stocked up like MAD on cheap paper towels… One reader, Jennifer, got so many .14 rolls of paper towels that she filled her daughter’s bounce house with them!
It’s been a great year. And it’s been so much fun to share all of these deals with you. I sincerely appreciate all of the emails and cards so many of you have sent over the past few weeks. Here’s to another year of great couponing in 2010!

First, Merry Christmas and a big thank you to Jill for this site and your leading us along the way as we shop BETTER and to all the participants and readers, especially those who can now donate to their neighbors or food pantries in these times when so many are in great need.
Thank you to the CASHIERS and CS guys/gals who may not “get” our couponing fever…..we may get on your nerves sometimes so I wish all of you double doses of rolling catalina understanding!
I only started strategic shopping/super couponing last March and missed out on some of the enormous deals that were to be had early in 2009. It took me a while before I understood what was going on……but I’m eagerly looking forward 2010 with all of you on this blog.

P.S. Walgreens is open today!

I wish my shelves looked that organized. I am thankful that I can put the bags in the same area. It takes me weeks to reshuffle. Seriously.
Anyways, thank you Jill!
Happy New Year!
