I did this last year & no one on the group I was using used them so I ended up with about 20 coupons. I didn't get to use them all because I just didn't have the money at the time, but once you really get going you can set aside jar money & then buy alot at once. I remember if I had used them all I'd have saved about $50 which was like 5 free cases. I had also shopped around for which store in my area had them cheapest instead of just getting them along with my grocerys.
