How to have success in the Grocery Store

1.)    Organize BEFORE you go!!

If you go to the grocery store without a list you might as well be throwing your money away.

2.)    Don’t go to the store hungry

I know this is a common tip but it is true.  If you are hungry when you shop you are more likely to buy more junk food.

3.)    Don’t take your kids shopping

Okay, I know not everyone has this flexibility but it will definitely help if you have the choice. It is really hard for me to concentrate on what coupons I am going to use when I have my kids asking me millions of questions.

4.)    Go to the store during Non-Peak Hours

My favorite time to shop is late at night. Avoid the 5pm rush, paydays and major holidays.

5.)    Give Couponers a good name

1. Do NOT Hoard – Seriously do you need 100 tubes of toothpaste?
2. Be nice to the cashiers
3. Be considerate to those behind you
4. Don’t commit coupon fraud
5. NEVER photocopy of a coupon
