Read how to save $100 or more per coupon shopping trip on groceries.
Follow a few simple steps and save big money on groceries.
Location
The first thing you need to do in order to get big coupon savings is locate a store. You need a store with Buy One Get One Free sales. You also want to know how the B1G1 sales work in the store you pick. Some stores sell items for half price during B1G1 Sales. Other stores are true B1G1, you buy one at regular price and get one free.
Upcoming Ads
You need to know upcoming ads for this store so you can collect the coupons you will need. Some stores post their ad ahead of time and some don't. If the store you pick does not post their ad ahead chances are it can be found online. It's always best to go with the bigger chain grocery stores for early ads and usually better coupon policies.
Collect Coupons
As soon as you see the ad, collect your coupons. Some ways to collect coupons are: newspaper inserts, print online, blinkies, mailings, coupon clipping services and more. How ever you do it, make it quick. Time is of the essence when you are planning a coupon trip. It takes time organizing, clipping, ordering, and collecting all the right coupons for the upcoming sale.
Move Right Along
Most sales only last a week. So that gives you 7 days plus how many days early you got ad. This is on average a time span 7-11 days total time before the sale is over. to gather/clip coupons(or have them mailed), plan the trip according to the B1G1 sale at the store, completing the trip and repeating if necessary. To get all this done in the time allotted you have to be focused and diligent.
Last but not Least
When you pick the right store and are planning the coupon trip make sure to get all the store information. Know the coupon policy of that store, the product limits, coupon limits for B1G1( can you use 1 coupon or 2 for B1G1?) Usually half price B1G1 will let you use 2 coupons. True B1G1 depends on the store, so you have to read the coupon policy and if its not in there ask the store management for the correct information. Knowledge is power and it creates smooth pleasant coupon transactions.
