OK Larissa...
Your going to so love this!! Cause even a Dope-a-Max like me can do it!!!
The list is a no brainer, I don't have to look up any specials, I don't have to find any specials, thats why I subscribe to the list!! They do it for me!!!.... its called Terry's list, you get it at
www.thegrocerygame.com .... it comes out every Sunday... Its compiled weekly based on your local stores, in store sales and the coupons that are in that weekends paper and the coupons that have come out the weeks before! Its good for shopping from Sun to Tues.
So.... You Clip EVERY SINGLE COUPON! in the paper!!!!! Dont throw any away! Even if you think you'll never need Maxi pads! (I use Tampons!
) Save the coupon anyway! And file them! I use a Cancled Check file... Its divided into 13 slots... it cost 4 bucks at target....
The KEY to the Grocery Game is the fact that you have years of experiance and databases making decisions on when you should PLAY your coupons! You only want to PLAY your coupon when the price of an item is at ROCK BOTTOM!! and you will get the Best deal!!! You have to trust the list!! Don't be tricked into using your coupon too soon on FALSE SALES!! Little sales that lure you into using your coupon too soon!
Resist the urge to stray from the list!
It will take you a few weeks to build your coupon collection... at first you will only have coupons for some of the items on the list... but after a few weeks you'll have almost all of them... and this weeks coupons are in all CAPS! so you'll know for sure you have those!
So you have your list! just decide which items you want on that list..... and pull out the coupons for those items.... and off to the store you go!
Remember I said to save those Maxi Pad coupons?? well its a good thing you did! they are normally $5.95 a package but they are on sale for $2.99 right now and you have a coupon for $1.00 off! and your shopping at a store that doubles coupons! so thats $2.00 off! so your paying only .99 for your Package of Maxi Pads! (so your thinking.... But I don't use Maxipads??? Your right, I don't... but my daughter is 10
and she will very soon!) ROTFL!
And coupons run in cycles... 12 weeks... every 12 weeks there is a run of paper products, condiments, canned foods, frozen foods, health and beauty, bla bla bla... so you stockpile enough to carry you 12 weeks at super LOW prices and you are set!
Then you are just buying your fruit veggies meant bread and milk on a need basis....
Its so working for me!!
