Policy Each store has their own policy, become familiar with them,
YOU are responsible for following, even if their cashiers or
registers do not catch incorrect coupons
4. Plan the Week Before Most shopping planning websites and
apps will announce the upcoming deals starting on Thursday or
Friday the week before the ad is released. Start making notes of
deals they are highlighting. Keep a running list as you come across
deals on various websites and Facebook news feeds. I like to use an
RSS Feeder to receive updates from websites. You will shop for not
just items of immediate need, but items at stockpile pricing. Try
not to be brand loyal.
5. Use Match-Up Sites There are a number of match-up sites some
of my favorites: Watch for their symbols or wording which indicate
stockpile pricing. Kroger Krazy - http://www.krogerkrazy.com/
Savings Lifestyle (Andrea from Dayton) Most stores including drug
stores and Remke - www.savingslifestyle.com Passion for Savings
(National) - http://www.passionforsavings.com/ Totally Target
(Store Specific) Doesnt always indicate a stockpile item
http://www.totallytarget.com/ In August, look for match-up sites
which also do the office supply stores There are many, many
othersfind the one that works for you
6. What items are on your shopping list? Find coupons using a
coupon database: Stockpiling Moms -

LadySavings
7. Suggestion Create an e-mail account on gmail, AOL, Hotmail,
Yahoo, whomever you choose, just for your shopping/couponing
activities Keep your regular e-mail uncluttered Consider doing the
same for FB

9. Dont have time to clip ALL those coupons? Store them by type
and date of insert for easy access.
10. Sources for Coupons Weekly coupon inserts in the newspaper
two subscriptions, ask neighbors for theirs, date of insert on edge
of insert SUGGESTION 2 PULL INSERTS APART AND STACK TO SAVE TIME
CUTTING IP Internet printable print two per IP address NEVER copy,
look for unique numbers coupons.com, replum.org, smartsource.com
(java issues at times) Manufacturer websites/newsletters Displays
or booklets in stores Coupon clipping services order on-line,
minimal charge, you are paying for their service, not their
coupons, it is ILLEGAL to sell coupons Electronic/Store coupons
Kroger, mPerks, Target, various apps such as SavingsStar and
Cellfire **May STACK store & manufacturer (MQ) coupons ** **Use
your GENERIC email address you created**
11. Match-Up Apps I usually start my list each week with Favado
and then e-mail it to myself. Then add to it as I come across
deals. Facebook Many of the stockpilers are on Facebook and posts
deals throughout the day. Categorize stockpilers with an Interests
List.
12. The Next Level Deal/Money Back Apps/Sites Before you sign
up for any of the following apps or websites, ask a friend or
sign-up using a referral link so that others receive a benefit from
you signing up. There is a listing of these apps in the Boone
