[QUOTE="cscokd, post: 2116699, member: 5609"] Tulsa store closed late last year. Wife and her mom carpool to Bartlesville every other week. I believe they chose Bartlesville over Pryor because there are 2 in Bville and the store mgr is actually supportive. Bville stores will only double one like coupon per day. Some of the OKC stores are allowing two or three like coupons per day, so my daughter does this since she is at SNU in Bethany. The Tulsa store cashiers were put off by it and almost made it not worthwhile. My wife contends that even with the round trip between Owasso and Bartlesville they come out ahead, value of time included. She also maintains a list of bottom-dollar sale prices and will stock up when she comes across them. If I remember correctly, I think she said this week (it's cyclical) is the best price for chicken at Reasor's, so she will stock-up and our grocery budget will be weighted towards protein this week. We started buying the Sunday OKC newspaper too. OKC is considered within the Dallas market, so the coupon offers are much better than Tulsa. This is no secret so for those of you in the Tulsa area wanting to do this will need to get out early. [url]http://www.homelandstores.com/StoreLocator.aspx[/url] As I implied, she approaches this like a part time job and we believe the financial impact is close to that of a full time job without the tax liabilities. Or any of the other liabilities of having both parents work outside the home. YMMV [/QUOTE]
