This is a picture (above) of my shopping trip today 3-10-11 from Walmart
My Total Before Coupons was $ 298.66 - I has a total of $256.66 in Coupons that I redeemed - Making My total price that I paid out of pocket only $ 42.10 !
Everything purchased has a coupon & Everything you see in the bottom picture was FREE with coupons !
The Bottom picture is cutting off the gain, there are actually a total of 14 boxes ( but its only showing 8)
This is NOT hard to do nor is it rocket science and anyone can do this too. All of these coupons came from the Sunday Inserts over the past month, and Internet Printable Coupons and the P&G booklet that was offered for free a few weeks ago. I try very hard to use only high value coupons and/or match my coupons with store sales if possible. Sometimes I cant always run out and do that with my work schedule.
If you follow my blog & face book postings daily you will notice that I post coupons as well that come up. These normally are high value coupons that = a huge savings to little to no cost and sometimes making products FREE.
1.I generally type up my list of items with matching coupons. This way I know what I am going into the store for.
2. I ALWAYS take my Coupon Binder with me no matter what, because you never know when you are going to run across an unadvertised hot sale or items on clearance and you will be suprised how cheap to even Free you can pic up stuff with a coupon !
3. When I print my coupons I begin to file them in piles to matching stores that I am familiar with item prices etc or that I know I can get the best price with using that coupon.
4. Then I file those coupons in my binder and shop with my list, grabbing each item for coupon. After I have done that, then I just shop around watching for sales and matching other coupons I might have.
5. Self discipline is also a huge key here ! I dont purchase something unless I have a coupon for it, thats the bottom line. I have been able to build my stock pile of items that we use on a daily basis so that I can do this . That way I can wait for a great sale to match my coupons with.
6. FOLLOW MY BLOG AND FACE BOOK ! WATCH FOR THE COUPON POSTINGS! GET ORGANIZED , ITS THE ONLY WAY !!!
I am always open for questions and chit chat, feel free to send me a message on face book or send me an email to Nanasdealsandmore@yahoo.com I will always do my best to help anyone out !
