I have all the reward cards from all the stores and make sure that hubby uses our phone # on purchases. I wish I could do it like they show on tv where people pay $17.00 for $100.00 worth of groceries. That would be so cool.
I guess on average I save at least 15% on my bill using coupons. |
I do the same I have the price cards for Pathmark and ShopRite, I don't know if you have those stores where you live.
Now if you combine their sales with the manufacturer coupons you get good deals. Like if 8 pack rolls of bounty are on sale for say 9.99 you can find a coupon in the paper or on line for 2 bucks then you get it for 7.99. I know those coupon people probably do better but what I just described is not bad either
so look for the manufacturer coupons and combine them with the sales. Another trick for me is I usually buy only things that are on sale, unless I really need something that isn't.
