Start sharpening your virtual scissors! Walgreens has a printable coupon out for 5.00 off any 25.00 purchase, valid this Tuesday and Wednesday! Remember, the 25.00 must be after all manufacturer and store coupons are rung up, and is not valid on stamps or gift card purchases. It might be great to use with the Halloween decorations and party supplies they always have on sale this time of year.

Happy shopping!

• Pick one or two stores to focus on. Don’t try to get every deal at every store. You’ll get burnt out before you see significant savings.
• If a store ad says, “Spend $25, get $5 back,” you can use coupons and have it total less than $25 after coupons.
• Stockpile – buy extra when the price is right so you don’t have to pay full price later.
• Don’t buy more than you can use before it expires.
• Get extra newspapers in order to take advantage of the sale.
• Be familiar with the coupon policies at various stores.
• Keep coupons in a binder and always take the binder to the store with you. You never know when you will run into something marked down that you have a coupon for.
• You can save money even without clipping coupons. Use PYP’s shopping lists to find out which sale prices are good and how to use the deals like catalina offers and buy $20 get $5 back, etc.
• Plan your meals around what is on sale this week and what you’ve stocked up on from previous weeks.

Feel free to add your best tips!

1. Go print a coupon for 2.00 off any box of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal with pecans. You can print it once.
2. Hit WalMart, which currently has the cereal on sale for 2.00 a box until September 3o. In case your store, like mine, doesn’t have the markdown price, you might want to print the online rollback ad and take it in with you. Tonight a manager told me that you can do that to ensure getting the two dollar price.
3. Enjoy your free box of cereal!
