How To: Plan Ahead For Shopping

2011-07-30T21:13:00.000-07:00

What's the best way to save money? By far the best way to get the maximum savings is to match ads to coupons. I find the easiest way to do that is to visit the fourmn website www.weusecoupons.com, and find my local ad. Luckily, a poster tends to post my shaw's ad tuesday mornings so i have plenty of time to get my things put together.

Another great way to save those pennies to keep a price book. A price book helps you get a guesstimate amount before you hit the check out, so you don't get those nasty little surprises. Everyone should keep one I think. How's the best way to come about this? Keep your reciepts and document the prices of things as you buy them. :) This way you will know for sure the price of the items you buy most often.

I also have found another website lately. www.grocery.walmart.com is very helpful. This website gives a fairly accurate cost of items at walmart! This is excellent! I was so surprised to find out just helpful this site it. I also use this with 10% added to get a good estimate for the cost of items at other stores. I tend to get pretty close.

Every penny you save is a penny you can put forward towards other items! So don't give up! Even if your just getting started, I know this can be hard to figure out but it's worth it in the end!

The Most Common Coupon Mistakes

2011-05-27T07:33:00.000-07:00

Everyone makes mistakes right? So I've decided to make this guide so less mistakes will happen, when your couponing! Helpful right?

I've fallen to this mistake few times, and I'm sure others have too. Looking t the picture on the coupon and not the print! What should you look out for?

Look for small print specifying size most commonly found are " excluding Trial sizes" or a specific oz. the product should be.
Look for specific products indicated by flavor/color/quantity i.e. Cherry flavored, or 5 count box

Limited quantities like coupons that limit how many you can use per customer.These are mostly found on store coupons. Don't make several transactions and use a lot of these coupons.

Stacking coupons is complicated when you first start out. I had trouble with it at first as well. When can you stack coupons?

When you have a BOGO coupon with a $/1 coupon this makes some nice prices!
When you have a coupon for 2 or more and a coupon for $/1
My absolute favorite is when you can stack a store coupon with a manufacturer's coupon. A store coupon generally has the store logo on it and says " store coupon" at the top. Doing this is even better when there is a sale on those items!

Now this one might be a given. But I've done it. check and double check your expiration dates on coupons. this makes your final transaction smoother and less stressful in the end!
