Happy Couponing for the Week of 4.22.18 and beyond...

Hey, Y'all!

Lots of great savings on the horizon this next week.  I will include several links to some of my favorite go-to sites for coupon deals, sales, and matchups.  Don't know if I will feel like sending an email blast next week.  My hand surgery is Wednesday and I doubt if I will do much of anything other than rest and recuperate.

Online Savings - Check out the brand new ShopRite website.  You can now do your shopping list on their website and it will even refer you to coupons that can help you save even more on regular and sale priced items.  Don't forget to download the ShopRite ap upgrade.

 Downtime Dollars - This is a feature on the ShopRite website that allows you to get FREE dollars to use when shopping in the store.  The process is really kind of silly but I will take FREE money any way it comes.  At $3, $6, $9, or $12, your Downtime Dollars savings may be transferred to your Price Plus Club Card.   Apply savings to your ShopRite order by presenting your Price Plus Club Card at checkout.  So far, I have $2.71 on my Downtime Dollars account.  That is not much but it is almost a free gallon of milk or two free loaves of bread or two dozen eggs for free, etc.  


Next...Contact your favorite companies for coupons.  Got a favorite soda, juice, or other beverage?  Write the company an email or give them a call and compliment them or better yet, send a suggestion or two.  Have a problem with a product?  Send the company an email.  I have gotten many, many, many coupons for free products over the last few years just by writing my favorite companies about my favorite products.  I write them about complaints; suggestions for new products or flavors; compliments on new products or old favorites; or whatever gives me an excuse to write them.  I have never contacted a company solely for coupons.  I NEVER ask for coupons and have yet to get a response that did not include coupons.  Here's the link to various companies - Living Rich with Coupons  Company Contact List.

Here's a fantastic go-to site for printable coupons - Living Rich with Coupons Printables  Tons of printable coupons.  Most printables can be printed at least twice.  Just return to the original link and do a second click.  

I like saving time even more than saving money...sometimes.  I use the Scan & Go Sam's Club ap on my smartphone.  I love it!  I scan as I shop and then walk right out the door.  I save so much time by not wasting my time standing in line behind ten or fifteen other people. Just go to the Play Store on your phone and download the ap.  

We have really been trying to save money on groceries by only shopping once a month based on a month menu.  Did not do a great job this month.  Mainly because I only did a menu for one week.  Will try to do better for the month of May.  Remember, the very best way to save the most money on your grocery bill is to stay out of the stores!  So, once we only shop once a month for real, we will save a bunch of money.  That once a month shopping doesn't include a bimonthly shopping haul for fresh fruit and veggies.  We buy enough eggs to keep at least 12 to 15 dozen in the refrigerator and freeze at least 8 loaves of bread and 8 gallons of milk so we rarely shop for those items more than every 4 to 6 weeks.  

New to couponing or feeling a little unsure of your couponing skills?  Limit your couponing to just one supermarket and one pharmacy for at least 6 months to a year.  You will eventually perfect your couponing skills and knowledge of that store's sales cycles.  Once you do that, then add on another store or pharmacy.  

Finally, this weekend's coupon inserts:  SmartSource 4.22.18    RedPlum 4.22.18

Much love to you all and Happy Couponing!
