If you are new to shopping smart, this is the best place to begin...How do I shop smart? It is so easy! I use a free website service that helps me plan my weekly shopping list. Then, I get coupon inserts from the Sunday paper (1 for each person in my family, I get 4). And, by combining the online shopping lists with the coupons, I save hundreds of dollars each month on my groceries! Four papers seems like a lot, but don't worry... at my classes I teach you how to cut your grocery bill in half AND can also hook you up with a fabulous deal on the Review Journal!
Did you already attend a class? So, you just attended my Coupon Class and you're pumped up to save and are excited to get started! I decided to put this blog together in order to stay connected with you and give ongoing support and ideas to keep you as motivated next month as you are today.Where do you go from here?First things first... you need to get over to theGrocery Smarts website, enter in my passport code g89cak and print off a shopping list! If you just started a newspaper subscription to get the coupons, you'll have to be patient for the first few weeks while your collection of coupons grows. Each Sunday you'll get more inserts and each week you'll find yourself saving more. Within about a month, you will have a nice pile of inserts to pull coupons from and will start noticing a real difference on what you spend at the store.Then, over the course of the next few months, you'll notice your pantry will start filling up. Your drawers will start filling up and every spare spot you have on a shelf or in a cupboard will be filled with the food and products your family consumes each day. Your hubby will love how much you are saving and you'll love that you have a nice stash of family supplies and food storage that builds each week. And, it'll be so satisfying to know you bought more and spent less!So, bookmark my blog and check back often for weekly tips and to see what I buy each week from the lists. By seeing my scenarios, it'll help give you ideas on how you can better use the list to maximize your

TODAY from 1-9 Albertson's will be having their monthly 8 hour sale. This is a great time to stock up on certain items! Here are a few that jumped out at me!
This is my 2nd trip to Albertson's this week due to the great stock up sale going on. The currentpromotion gives you vouchers after you purchase your items. By buying a certain quantity of products a voucher or coupon prints AFTER you pay for your items. You can attack this type of sale one of two ways... You can either buy now and bring vouchers back next time OR if you are a little more advanced, plan out several transactions and use the voucher you earn in your first transaction to pay for the items in the second and so forth. "Rolling," as I call it, takes a little extra planning and is something I consider "advanced" but it can be done easily if you allow yourself the time to get organized. I would be more than happy to help explain that a little better if need be! Just shoot me an email.
