Did you catch our Savings Segment this morning on Fox? We are honored to be a featured on Good Day Tampa Bay each Sunday to share our knowledge about coupons and how to get the most for your money! This week's topic was all about how to turn just one hour of your time into $100 with couponing the TrueCouponing way! Click on the image below to watch it live!
Here is a little more information for you:
- Step One: Release Your Preconceived Coupon Notions.
In order to maximize savings and reduce processing time, you need to release your personal preconceived notions about coupons (you know them…”it takes too much time”, “coupons are only on junk…”). JUST TRY IT. Take just one hour per week and see if you can save over $100 each time. In order to start, you're going to need coupons. Where do you find them? The two main sources for coupons are the Sunday newspaper, and printing them from home. The trick to saving the most is to get multiple copies of the paper, so you can use a coupon on every single item you buy. That means if you are buying two items, you will need two of the same coupon! In order for that to work, you will need to subscribe to multiple copies of the paper and/or print multiples of the same coupons! Most people do not realize that this is possible or even available! - Step Two: Get Organized and Build Up Your Resources.
Stay organized – you don't want a big useless pile of coupons. Set up a Coupon File box to keep everything organized. Each week, unstuff your papers and file them by date. File printed coupons in their own file, too. That way they are ready when you need them. DO NOT cut any coupons before you need them…it is wasting precious time to touch a coupon you may not use! {We sell an “Organizing Kit” in our online store for just $20! All the tools to get you on your way to be organized!} - Step Three: Shop Smart.
Don't purchase any items just because you have a coupon. That's not saving you any money! And only buy products that are identified as a Good Deal (little icons easily point this out). These help you identify what you are willing to PAY for an item, instead of just buying anything because you need it. To save time, look over your printed shopping list and ONLY choose one or two files to cut coupons out of OR use our pre-selected coupon list to print from. We’ve done the work for you- just print, cut and shop! - Step Four: Build A Stockpile (never pay full price again!).
When you can purchase an item for 75% or more off retail price, stock up! The goal is to purchase enough of the product to get you through until it goes on sale again, which is approximately three months.
Basically, soon you'll be saving hundreds of dollars each year – and it should only take you a few minutes a week!
