I've noticed, it is a great time to go shopping this week! All the stores are clearing out their winter inventory and making way for, (I can't believe I'm about to say this) SPRING! It's hard to think about with snow still on the ground, and frigid temps in the mornings, (at least at my house with the wind-chill before 10a.m.), but what a perfect time to grab the one trend item for the season, or stock up on gifts for next year!
Along with apparel shopping, I'm also talking grocery Savvy Shopping. Maybe most of you know already, but I'm putting it out there for the reminder to take advantage of the great offers out there that most stores are trying to earn your loyalty.
For example: Walmart has double coupon day on Tuesdays, they will double manufacturers coupons up to $1.00 or match a sale price from a competitor with ad. Make sure you go to the designated checkout lanes as to avoid confusion with the other sales associates who may get confused. Another one I've found is Kmart. (I am stocked up for a year with toothpaste, deoderant, shampoo, and paper towels.) They will also double up to 5 coupons per customer on Wednesdays and Saturdays and have a rewards card you can turn your points into cash at anytime on your purchases. Be sure to watch the expiration date on those points.
This may take a bit more planning, and organizing, but definately worth it! I love seeing the total add up then, slowly taken down with coupons.
You could also go beyond just saving the money, and actually SAVE the money you are actually saving in a jar for a reward. Simply look at the bottom of your receipt and put the cash in you saved from your shopping trip! Just a tip I learned from my frugal momma!
If you know of any more great sales or offers please share, making all of our lives a bit more blissful!
