SHOPPING DAY!!

I use to really hate going to the grocery store, but now I am saving so much money I don't mind very much! It is a lot of fun to watch the price go from $200.00 to $50.00 and I am not kidding, that is a usual for me!

Here are some of tips for your Shoppoing Day to make it as easy and fun as possible.


-I always like to go shopping on a full stomach and alone if possible!

-Use your list as your guide. Remember to mark how many you want on your list so in the heat of the moment you don’t forget and get flustered, this can happen!

-When you get to the check out you can wait to give all your coupons to the checker after each shopping order.(Sometimes you have more then one order at a time to help maxamize your savings) You DO NOT have to give the coupon with each product as it rolls off the conveyor. The only exception to this rule is for Rain Checks. Give the Rain Check to the checker first thing so she can change the price of the product you are getting.

-If the people behind you are giving you dirty looks make sure you smile at them and then when you are done say WOW look how much I saved using coupons I am the coolest!!

-Make sure to tell you family how awesome you are for saving them a ton of money, and that they should all treat you like a queen and clean up the dinner mess!!


**TIPS**

Sometime when you go shopping there are extras that print out, these are called catalina's. So if there is a sale of buy so many items get x amount of dollers on you next shopping order (OYNSO) you might want to use the x amount of dollers on your next items. So you can split up your items into different orders to maxamize your savings. (some stores only let you do three orders at a time, so I will do three and if I have more I will go back through the line again and do three more. You don't have to break up your orders, but if you get a catalina for money off your next order then you can use right then or save for next week. When you are on a buget it is worth it!)

As you can see I have three orders this week. I get a catalina for 3.00 OYNSO on my first order. Then I use that catalina on my next order. This order will pint a 5.00 catalina that I use on my last order. This way I maxamize my savings and get an extra 8.00 off!!

Rain checks are when you want something that is on sale and the store is out you can go and get a rain check to use the next time they have some, you don't want to miss the great price! Be sure to give the checker the rain check before she rings up the particular item you are getting.

I find that when I go to the store and use my coupons I always have someone in the line behind me that really wants to know how I am saving so much. So I tell them how to find my site. People are hurting right now and everyone wants to find ways to save so please let everyone know!
