What is "doubling" coupons and some grocery $ savings tips. ? I saw this lady today on the Oprah show that was talking about "doubling" coupons. What does this mean? Also, there are these sites that charge money to get coupons on the brands you select instead of just clipping what the paper offers. Does anyone know about these sites and are there any that are actually worth it? I LOVE to save money when shopping and want some tips and interesting ideas about this.
? replied: "Good question.. these days every dollar counts and if you take a few extra minutes you can get this down to a science.
#1. Coupons can be doubled (at most stores) as long as they are under $1. so a coupon for .75cents will give you a saving of $1.50
#2. Store run their sales on a rotation for certain items .Usually the things we all need like Ketchup and soups etc.. So invest in your Sunday paper which will have all the grocery store circulars for the week. Start paying close attention to what staple items go on sale and about when. ( It's actually very easy)
A Important Keys.. You are not loyal to any one store.. But to your wallet ONLY
This doesn't mean you want to gp from store to store in the same week .. Just check out who has what you need on sale this week
Now when you start to recognize their rotations you will stock on on certain items and knowing that in 3 weeks you'll be back at this store.
Also some stores have buy 1 get 1 free sales these are great just becareful of the price. But if you get a good deal you can stockup up.
Between coupons and knowing your stores YOU can save tons.
My average saving per week was $75-125. !!!
It works Really
Good Luck"
