Ok, every two weeks on Thursday and Friday I do my shopping. I shop for the sale and coupon items and my hubby shops for the rest. I scanned my shopping list, here it is:
The list is a general list I always start out with, based on the regular supplies we use and two week menu plan. After I print out the list, I mark off the items I still have and add the items not already on the list.
Next, I go through my grocery coupons for items on sale. I write down which store and for how much. Now I use the highlighter and mark the items I have coupons for. I get REALLY bothered when I forget a coupon, so that is why I highlight them.
Double check Coupons.com for your printables. I also check Shortcuts.com, P&G eSaver.com, and RedPlum.com for sales I can load on my store’s membership card. Smith’s counts my coupon and the coupons loaded on my membership card.
After I have received all the savings I can get, I mark out the items I purchased at the store. Then I hand over the list to my hubby and he gets the rest. Can’t do all my shopping because the weather is cold and I don’t want to freeze my two little ones that shop with me.
Last payday I shopped this way and had a savings of over $60.00.
I will have to try this. i am always looking for ways to save and I saw an Oprah episode with a concept similar to this. Thank you for the award too, I needed the pick me up
Wow! This is awesome! So you can put electronic coupons on a store card? I have never heard of that! What part of the country do you live? I have never heard of this in Ohio!
I will have to try this method. I love sales, but lately I have gotten lazy on the coupons. It is back to coupons here! Thank you for the tipsHave a great nightSara
Wendy – With luck it will be helpful to you. Your welcome on the award, you deserve it! I really like your blog. I know you don’t know me very well, but I am always here with an ear if you need me.Debra – It is very cool. I live in Nevada. I put links in the post, I think Smith’s and Safeway are participating in my area, nut I don’t shop at Safeway, so not for sure.Sara – Thanks for stopping by, let me know how it works.. :O)
