Super Saver Couponing Webinar – Class Review

Remember that this should not be a part-time job!! The tips and tools that were shared at your webinar should have you prepped & in and out of the grocery store in 3-4 hours a week!

Remember the scenario with the cereal box? If you use a coupon on a full priced item you will not see the huge margin of savings that we want. So WAIT and only use your coupons on SALE items!

You also do NOT need to chase down deals at every single store in your area. The sales cycle through all the stores, so choose one grocery and one drug store to shop every week.

PLEASE make sure you check your grocery store’s coupon policy and follow their rules! Don’t try to work around the system! That’s why we see policies change when people start getting CrAzY!

When you subscribe to multiple newspaper subscriptions you will have multiple coupon inserts each week. You will use the identical inserts to buy identical products at the grocery store.
Remember the Finish dish detergent example? 5 boxes of dish detergent purchased with 5 coupons (one coupon per item) only cost $2.49 by combining sales and coupons! That is way cheaper than buying one item at a “big box” store, right?
Pro Tip: Use your coupons on smallest packages allowed by the coupons. 

Stop wasting your time filing coupons! Simply take your inserts and write the Sunday date that you received them on the front of the insert. If you let a few weeks stack up, don’t worry. The date you need to reference is on the spine of the insert – it’s super tiny so get your magnifying glass out.LEAVE THEM WHOLE! Put them in your file box and WAIT for the sale!! That’s it!

It will take some time before you have a good stockpile of all the items your family uses. That’s ok! It’s not a race! Look for those few low priced items each week – called “loss leaders” in some industries. These are items the store puts on sale at a super low price knowing they will not be making a ton of money on them, but they are counting on you buying additional items. Don’t be fooled!!
Remember the spaghetti example? When the pasta was on sale, the sauce was NOT! Don’t pay full price for sauce, simply wait for that big spaghetti dinner until after sauce goes on sale a few weeks later. 

BE PATIENT! Also, try meal planning a little backwards. Look for the meat and produce that are on sale each week, buy those items, then come home and look for ways to use it! It’ll be such a fun game! I love to use allrecipes.com to find great recipes to use up the food I have on hand.

After a few months of stocking up on just a few key items each week, you will begin to notice that the list you used to have on the fridge of everything you needed suddenly is empty! Why? Because you purchased items when they were on sale instead of when you were out of them. 
REMEMBER: Shop PROACTIVELY!!
Having a few months worth of items that your family uses is such a blessing! You may not realize how big of an impact that has on your life until there comes a moment when you need to rely on your stockpile to sustain your family. It’s like car insurance. You have it and don’t think much about it until you get in a wreck and then you cannot imagine not having it! Same concept here.
