Today at my MOPS group one of our MOPS moms Andria spoke about her business with extreme couponing. She is on KDKA’s Pittsburgh Live every Monday at 9:00 am sharing her favorite tips or deals of the week. She is an excellent resource and her website provides a lot of useful information for those that are wanting to save a little money! Andria did an awesome presentation this morning on some tips for saving money and learning the lingo of couponing! I am not someone that is particularly fond of couponing but I’m going to give some of her tips a try!
Here are a few things that I took away from today’s meeting:
- When you look at your coupons, if the barcode ends with a 5 it will double if it ends in a 9 it will not!
- You can stack manufacturer and store coupons at Target and Walgreens. Awesome savings!
- There is a great site that has coupons for organic foods at www.savingnaturally.com. This was particularly useful for me because I try to feed my family as organic as possible! Couponing is not just for buying junk food and snacks! This woman feeds her family very reasonably for very cheap!
- The All You magazine at Walmart is full of coupons! Pick one up today!
- Upromise has a free coupon account that you can sign up for. Every thing you save from using their site goes into a college fund that you can use for your children in the future! That alone makes me want to sign up because you know the cost of a college education is going to be ridiculous by the time our kids get to college.
- She gave a very useful tip, keep a notebook in your purse and write down the cost of the things you frequently buy. That way you can remember what price things are typically are and when there is a sale you can refer to your list to see if you are getting a good deal.
- Savings Star eCoupons is a great way to download coupons to use in stores!
