I confess it, you coupon! you know it’s not viewed as a most MANLY thing to do, though which doesn’t stop me. you still get embarrassed during times when you see people you know, though you do it anyway. Not for me though for my family. We are, by no means, rich. For years we’ve struggled to compensate a everyday bills as good as still be able to put food upon a table. Finally my mother as good as you motionless which sufficient was enough. This is our…err, my story.
We sat down a single day as good as watched Extreme Couponing upon TLC as good as instantly a light went on. We need to do this! you didn’t mean to a turn which they show upon TV. But if you could save even 30% upon a grocery bill which is a outrageous amount of money for a family of 4. So my mother motionless she would take over removing a grocery list together as good as relating up coupons. There was NO WAY which you was starting to do it. It’s not cool.
A month later, you got sent to a 2nd shift during work which gave me all this free time during a day. you figured you might as good assistance out a small by slicing a coupons as good as putting them in to a binder. Two weeks later, you motionless a folder needed better organization, so you overwhelmed it up a bit. My mother afterwards stared working 7 days a week. We fell behind, proposed slacking upon a couponing, went out to eat a lot, as good as done those quick grab-and-go stops during a store. you afterwards motionless you could have a single outing a week to a grocery store, though NOT with a ton of coupons. you shortly satisfied which you was doing a better pursuit during this whole banking thing (no offense to my wonderful wife). So you done a decision to take it over 100%.
My Coupon Success:
Over a last month, with me taking over, you have been saving 43% upon a grocery bill! FORTY THREE PERCENT!Our biggest barrier is which you usually have 1 grocery store which will stand in coupons as good as will usually stand in 4 of each object per transaction. As you settled above, you coupon, though you have what you callGrocery Aisle Etiquette! you am not starting to run 5 separate exchange so you can have use of 20 coupons which will double! you REFUSE! This leads me to my 1st topic:
MY GROCERY STORE ETIQUETTE
- If there is someone in line during a back of me with usually a couple of equipment as good as you have a bunch of coupons, you will let them skip ahead.
- I also will NOT clear shelves. you never buy some-more which 10 of 1 item. If they usually have 10 left you will buy 5 as good as either check another store , stop upon my approach to work a next day to see if a shelf is restocked, or ask for a sleet check.
- I usually do ONE transaction. As settled above, there have been 2 grocery stores upon my approach to work, you just stop again if you need some-more items.
- If there is an issue with my transaction you repair it during customer service. you am not starting to reason up a entire line because 1 set of coupons doesn’t wish to scan, even if you know it is legit.
- I don’t have this large stage like “I JUST SAVED 50% BY USING ALL THESE COUPONS. Instead you politely run my transaction, hand over my coupons, appreciate a cashier (and a chairman during a back of me for their patience), compensate my bill, as good as travel out a door.
Remember, there is already a tarnish associated with couponers; why supplement fuel to a fire?
