Article: How to Stay Organized With Printable Grocery Coupons
I can remember every Monday morning when I was a young boy;
my mom would sit down and take an hour to cut out the Sunday paper coupons. She
would then put them in her coupon box in certain categories such as cereals and
soups. Then on Thursdays, we would go and get our groceries for the week. I
would watch her dig through that box for what seemed like an eternity. Sometimes
she would find it, most times she wouldn't. That was because she had so many of
those things, that it became impossible to remember all the ones she stuffed in
there. I always remember thinking that is was not worth the time, but that was
before I had my own family with my own bills.
I am older now and appreciate what she did much more then
in those days. But the problem of too many coupons still exists. What I have
done instead of bringing every single coupon that I have is to sit down before I
go shopping and make a list of everything that the family wants as well as
needs. Being very familiar with the store, I put the coupons into isle order.
This does two things for you. First, writing down everything you need, such as
that week's dinners, allows you to stay away from restaurants that charge many
times what it would cost you to make the same meals at home because you didn't
have enough groceries. Two, it helps with the coupon mess. It is easy to use
www.slickbudget.com because it allows you to
print out exactly what grocery coupons you will need for the week. If one coupon
is not available, see if you can find a close substitute. By using this method,
you are able to avoid wasting time at the store digging through hundreds of
coupons for something that may not even be there.
One might argue that bringing the coupons with you can help in case of a sale. Nowadays, the grocery stores put all their specials in the Sunday paper ads. Checking those fliers should show you all the specials and thus eliminate the need to carry hundreds of unneeded coupons around. Worst case scenario is that if there is a special that you did not know about; take care of it next time you are in the area.
If these simple tips are followed, you will find yourself with a much lower grocery bill and more money in your budget for other areas. Good luck and happy couponing!
