Severe, we mean severe coupon stacking

We've been so busy with three kids - no time to sleep or do anything else, including blog.

We came across an INCREDIBLE coupon stacking event today.  We had purchased cereal a few months ago.  It was a buy one get one free (BOGOF) type event on cereal, and we ended up buying a few boxes (around 6 or 8).  The catch was that each box had one free juice coupon, for super expensive juice worth $4.  The cereal was around $2.50 per box.

That was such a sweet deal, but it gets better.

This week, there was a BOGOF event on the juice.  So, we 'bought' 6 juices for a total of $24, but using the coupons we had left (three of them), and the fact that each juice had a free counterpart, we ended up paying a grand total of $0.6 (for 10cent deposit on each carton).  In fact, we get back 5cents per carton, so in fact, we pay only 30 cents for $24 dollars of juice.

...funny thing is that we always have coupons on us in case things like this happen.... but those events have never happened until today.

INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE.  That was the most extreme coupon stacking episode we have EVER had.  Tell us your experiences!
