TIP - Print and Save!
Online coupons expire sooner, but you may print more than one!
Shopping for groceries at supercenters has the
advantage of lower prices however these stores do
not double coupons and the likelihood you will
overspend here is greater since your choices are
more than just groceries. I caught onto this when I
realized it was possible to enter a store like Super
Target for a few things and come out with $200 in
stuff. These were my pre-Couponizer days!
Super Target is one supercenter that offers online
coupons and post the weekly specials. This offers
you more choices for items with the best prices and
gives you the opportunity to plan your shopping
according to what is on sale. This strategy works
when it comes to saving big money if you are flexible
with your weekly menus and brands. Also, when you
find a great price on an item, you may stock up
easily since printing more than one single product
coupon is possible. You will notice these coupons
have a one month expiration date,
so print them while you can! And, try to shop only
the grocery side of the store!!

TOOL - MPG-Cap
Check out a product that can help increase fuel efficiency.
When gas prices rise to
levels that cause real pocketbook pain, then we all
get creative about ways to
stretch our gas tank. Carpooling and driving
less often are obvious ways to reduce fuel
consumption, however there is a product on the
market that claims to increase your miles per gallon.
It is called the MPG-Cap.
MPG-Cap is a 100% organic engine
conditioner that
simultaneously improves fuel economy and power by
creating a micro-thin coating on the combustion
chamber in your engine allowing your fuel to burn
more efficiently.
I am currently testing this product so I personally do
not have a testimony yet, but if you click through
the link below, you will find some positive
results.

The COUPONIZER of the Month
Margaret Sanders - Summerville, SC
I just wanted to let you know that I am thrilled with
The Couponizer! I
saw you on QVC quite by accident and immediately
went online with QVC and
ordered it. I have been couponing for years and had
yet to find a "perfect"
system for my coupons. I have tried the binder
method (way too big and
bulky) and then a couple of years ago from a
refunding site purchased a
coupon file. I thought it would work great, but I
felt awkward carrying
a huge plastic coupon box into the grocery. And,
trust me it was huge. So,
you know what? I just didn't use it and went back to
hand-carrying the
coupons. I never had the right one with me at the
right time and usually
had a big mess.
I received your Couponizer within a few days of
ordering it from QVC and
immediately used your method of clipping and
arranging them. Yesterday was
the first day I used your method and I saved $40 off
a $100 tab on my
grocery bill without any effort at all on my part. I
especially love the
pocket up front for the spot to place your coupons
for checkout.
I am THRILLED with your product! This fits easily in
my purse or is easy to
carry and use. The other coupon carrying ideas I've
tried seem great until
you try them and they are just not practical to carry
or use. You've made
it so easy and I'm thrilled!
Thanks for your awesome product! M. Sanders

Ask Amy...
Tracking your spending and saving makes $en$e!
Amy,
When you record your total bill in your CoupTracker,
is it the amount you paid or the amount before the
coupons? Some stores show your savings and some
do not (they only show what the sale amount was)
like Target. I want to do this the right way from the
beginning. Food Lion deducts the amount of your
coupon on the receipt for each item and it is already
deducted on the final amount and then they show
your savings at the end of your receipt.
This is hard to explain in writing and maybe I am
making this difficult. Maybe I will have to add the
amount I paid and the amount of the coupons for the
amount to be shown on the CoupTracker? Please let
me know which is the correct way to show this on
the CoupTracker.
Thank you, Gloria
Gloria,
Great work for tracking your spending and savings on
the CoupTracker. This simple tool is part of my
system since it helped
me polish my ability to monitor my spending. Also,
adding up my monthly savings helped me to see how
quickly the savings added up to significant amounts.
This kept me motivated to continue using coupons to
get the best prices and I hope it will do the same for
you.
The "Amount" Column is the amount of your total
bill. So this represents how much money you paid.
At the end of the month this column total represents
how much money you spent on groceries or any
other category you set up for the page.
The "Savings" Column is the total amount that was
deducted at checkout by redeeming coupons, store
discounts, a gift card, a store club reward and/or
any other amount. This column total represents the
total amount of money you saved by taking time to
organize and shop for deals.
Totaling the "Savings" column is much easier when
the store receipt does it for you and most major
grocery stores have this feature. However, in the
event that each coupon deduction is only listed by
the line item on the receipt, then total up the
savings yourself. With a calculator, it does not take
long and I suggest marking the total savings on the
receipt if you save receipts.
I have figured out that smart families save money on
the everyday things to have money to spend on
the things they really want and need. Keep up the
great work!
Amy
