3 Crazy Steps to Better Coupon Shopping

Deciding to be a saver is tough.  But having a good strategy helps!



Strategy #1   Never shop without a plan. Impulse buying can wreck your grocery budget.  And never shop hungry!   It seems like a simple strategy and it works.  The plan starts with having a good idea of what your family needs to buy this week.  There are hundreds of phone apps for you to jot down notes. You may want to break down your plan into sections.  Buy this week, buy sometimes in the next few weeks, or buy sometime next month allows you to prioritize your purchases.  Then your plan should be matched up with the weekly sale ad.  If it's on sale and matches with any item on  your needs list then it becomes part of the buy plan.  If you are in doubt of what items should be on those lists, you should look at your past purchase history. This is simple, just pull your past few receipts and take a look at the things you have been buying.  Which would you purchase again?

Strategy #2  Only buy when stacking 2 or more deals.  Many extreme coupon shoppers only buy items when they know they are getting the absolute best deals.  Having an item on sale usually means that the item is discounted between 25-40% off regular retail.  If you stack another form of savings you can get into the 40-65% savings range.  That is where most coupon shoppers try to find their deals.  You can stack a sale item, with a coupon (store or manufacturer), with an app rebate, or with a by mail rebate.  If you use this strategy, you will need to keep a close eye on all types of stacking options.

Strategy #3  Shop during low peak hours and take your time.  This strategy keeps your impulses under control.  If you shop when there are is not a rush in the store you'll have more time to review your buying options.  Should you buy this item now, or wait for a potential sale next week?  If you are not rushed you can also think more clearly and do some meal planning as you shop.  A rushed shopper grabs more prepared meals, more convenience foods and more overall items.  A bag of 15 apples becomes easier to grab than picking your own 8 apples for the week.  Less waste, is money saved.

Finding FREE Coupons

We have seen a coupon shortage lately.  There have been fewer food coupons inside the newspaper inserts.  This causes some shortages in our coupon stash.  Finding more free coupons becomes a priority.  Here are some places to check for freebies:


1. Restaurants and coffee shops.  Ask the manager what happens to the coupon inserts after Sunday morning readings.  Usually at Starbucks, Panera Bread, Bob Evans, Country Kitchen types of restaurants customers buy a paper then bring it inside.  They are looking to pass the time, not coupon.  So the inserts are all left at the restaurant.  It’s a good way to get multiple Sunday Papers without paying for them. 

2. Nursing homes.  Many older folks want a paper service with their room.  Yet Many do not jump up out of their beds and start clipping the coupons.  Many papers are simply added to the home’s recycle bin immediately.  

3. Recycle centers.  Many communities have  very large recycle bins for newspaper.  Some allow access some to not.  You’ll need to call your recycling center.  You can also try the smaller communities.  Collection bins that stay open for a weekend a month often have easy access and lots of unused good coupons. 

4. Newspaper route carriers.  Let’s just say “They know a guy who knows a guy.”  Some are a wealth of coupons.  

5.  Online Clipping Services!  These are not free, but often low cost.   
 There are hundreds more:  Simply search for "Coupon Clipping Service."

6.  Your neighborhood is a goldmine of unwanted coupons.  Check and see who is getting the Sunday paper and may not want the extra coupons.  Ask family members and neighbors if you can have their coupons.  The same is true for co workers, friends and fellow club members.

7.  Employers who get a regular daily delivery.  My husband's office has newspaper delivery.  Yet no one works on Sunday so on Monday, he swings by the break room and picks up free coupons for me. 

Places to skip:
1. Convenience stores and sellers of papers.  When the carrier comes to collect the unsold papers, they check for inserts ad take those away.

2. Hotels.  They mostly have USA Today, and those do not get inserts on Sundays.

3. Self Standing machines.  Do not steal inserts from the machines.  It’s illegal and unethical. 
Don’t forget the easy coupons. 

Good Luck on your quest to find some freebie coupons.

Printing Coupons Online FAQ's



Bricks coupons are the most printed online coupons and the easiest way to build your coupon stash.  One of the questions I commonly get is about Bricks coupons, or printable coupons found on a website that are not actually on Coupons.com  These are coupons that a manufacturer wants you to visit their site to print, and does not want included in the 200+ that are available directly on Coupons.com.  Coupons.com provides products and services utilizing our core coupon technology. Our their secure technology gives clients tight control over the number of coupons distributed, which helps to limit redemption.

Distribution Control

One of the reasons these exist is for the control of the distributions.  It makes good sense that a vendor would want to count the number of coupons being issued.  All limits are device based.  The limit works per device, like your computer.  You can print two per computer.  These limits are enforced for the entire coupons.com network.

The Coupon Printer

Before consumers print their first coupon from the systems, they must install the Coupon Printer, an industry-standard browser plug-in. Unlike cookie-based controls, removing and reinstalling the Coupon Printer does not affect its security settings. Moreover, a coupon never appears on the consumer's screen. Instead, it is sent directly to their printer, to prevent duplication of the coupon. The Coupon Printer also provides each coupon with barcodes that can be scanned at the point of sale.  There is no way to print coupons without the plug in being downloaded to your computer.  It’s the essential part of the counting process. 

Each Coupon is Unique

Each printed coupon carries a unique ID that is encrypted in a 2-D PDF417 barcode, enabling each coupon to be traced from print to redemption. All Coupons.com Incorporated coupons can be authenticated using this unique code. This unique ID also can be used to detect counterfeit or altered coupons. Cashiers are often looking at these codes when reviewing your coupon just to be sure they are not duplicated or altered in any way. 
Where to get them
We list Printable Bricks coupons in the Saturday blog often. These are the ones found on manufacturer’s sites.  I do not list ones found on Coupons.com, I assume you can find those weekly as you need them.  The ones listed are direct links instead of vendor landing platforms.  Meaning, I’ll send you directly to the Print page.  I will often list a coupon like this:
Save $1 on 1 Swanson Chicken
(Bricks print 2x)
This will let you know before you click on the link that it is direct, and that you should always click the link twice and print your limit of coupons. 
Resets
Once a coupon has reached it’s limited exposure, it will expire.  Often new users will think a coupon “Will always be there to print”  or “I can print it tomorrow from work”  and that is not the case.  Many times a Hot coupon will reach it’s limit  within hours of being available online.

6 Crazy Simple Steps to Saving on Groceries

Saving money on groceries does not happen at the store.  Saving money happens before you get to the store.  Here are six steps to help you be fully prepared to maximize your savings.

1.  Make your grocery list.  You list should include all the regular  items your family craves, and the items you will need to make meals this week.  The items you have on your list each week are considered your HOT LIST items.  These should be items you trade coupons for on message boards and ask for from manufacturers direct. 

2.  Look at the weekly ad.  Its easy to find the weekly ad, it's here every week.  You just look it over for those items that are on sale that will make meal planning easy and save you some money.  There are about 175 items on sale each week and we list the full ad on My County Market and the coupon match up on County Market Coupon News.

3.  Go through your clipped coupons.   If you see spaghetti sauce on sale, it may be time to redeem that pasta coupon.  Look for good meal planning matches to your shopping list and the weekly sale.

4.  Open up your apps.  The  My County Market App  will have 30-40 items where you can make matches and save additional money.  Plus it has the coupon wallet feature where you can see your savings adding up.  Next, open   Ibotta app for rebates  it has additional money you can use on top of manufacturer's coupons.
