Coupon match ups are a great tool to find out which store is having the best sale prices. Weekly sales prices and reduced merchandise on store shelves are both great opportunities to save. Having coupons for weekly sales sorted before arriving to the grocery store or drug store can shave off time spent shopping. Spending a few extra minutes planning out a shopping trip can double or triple the amount of coupon savings. Here are some tips to help save more money in the grocery store.
Coupon Savings
There are several websites that help to do some of the coupon match up work. Search for local blogs that discuss weekly sales in the area that is geographically closest. I heart Publix is an example of a blog that discloses the weekly free item, as well as coupon match ups for that specific store. Target coupon deals often include combining store sales, manufacturer coupons, and Target store coupons.
Create a written or computer printed list of the product names and matching coupon. If the coupons are still in their circulars simply locate them by the date and circular name. The blog may state the coupon date as 7/25 and RP for Red Plum.
Coupon Message Boards
Message boards are a great way to find local couponers that always post deals at stores close by. Becoming their friend online and subscribing to posts they start can help to bring new threads they start straight to the email inbox selected when registering for the forum.
Create personalized coupon match ups by doing a quick inventory on items that are needed. Look for high dollar value coupons for specific product types like laundry detergent or milk. Order individual coupons on eBay or on The Coupon Clippers website. This is an inexpensive way to save on staple items that may or may not go on sale regularly.
Grocery Store Coupons
Contact local stores before shopping trips to see which stores accept printable coupons. Being able to find a coupon quickly makes it easier to take advantage of a rock bottom price. Printing out coupons that did not come out in the Sunday circular can add to overall grocery savings.
Always look for reduced priced items, managers specials, and unadvertised sales specials. Try to get into the habit of bringing coupons to the store in a coupon binder or coupon organizer. This makes it easy to simply turn through the tabbed dividers to find specific coupons in a minute or less. Use these tips to help increase coupon savings.
