Anyone who reads my blog knows I am coupon crazy. Today started the week long triple coupons at my favorite grocery store (Harris Teeter). I am going to post my shop from today and then later this week I will show you all my results.
This time around triples are looking really good! A lot of great deals on a variety of regulary needed items. My shop today was really great and where my cost will go up some the rest of the week because I will be buying more expensive items the amount saved is wonderful. Please keep in mind some people will have shops for just a few dollars, but this is when you go for the free items only. Don't expect to spend two dollars when you are buying things that are generally more expensive.
This is my shop from today. I spent $9.41 and saved $48.98. The deals I got today were awesome. It was a savings of 82% woo hoo! Coupons make me so happy. I often find myself arguing with folks over how much money I save. I have people tell me all the time that they can buy the same stuff cheaper at Wal-Mart. Ha! Sorry people, I hate to tell you but no one will ever out shop me at Wal-Mart. I very seldom go to Wal Mart and when I do most of the time I find that when the grocery store runs sales they are cheaper especailly when you factor in multipled coupons which Wal Mart does not do.
With all this being said, maybe I should put coupons into perspective. Causally clipping coupons and using them whenever will save you a few bucks here and there. The type of couponing I do is not for the lazy or slack folks who are satisfied spending way too much money on the daily items they need. I often hear people complain about the cost of groceries and household items. They could save so much money by doing what I do, but they are too lazy to take the time. Personally I don't like giving money away, the less I spend on necessites the more I have to put up for the nice things I want :)
Serious savings comes down to understanding the system. Stores typically run the same sales every 4-6 weeks. You hold onto your coupons until you know the product you need is at the rock bottom price them you stock up. I have a room dedicated to stocking my items. I know most people use the excuse that they don't have time. Yes there is a lot of time involved at first. After awhile you get so well stocked that you will find you don't have to spend as much time chasing after sales. Right now I am so well stocked on personal care items (body wash, shampoo, medicine, paper itmes) that I have pretty much cut out my Drug store shopping right now. I also have spent less time grocery shopping as well. I now usually only go grocery shopping on Saturday unless it is a triple or super double event going on. It gets so much easier as time goes by.
So in the end, for all those people who want to try to out shop me at Wal Mart...I welcome the challenge any day! While they are out buying store brand items that they think are priced so well I am buying the name brand items cheaper. I love it! Happy triple shopping everyone, hope you get the great deals :)
